VAMPIRE VAPE UNCOVERED:
STAYING GROUNDED AND REACHING NEW HEIGHTS
LANCASHIRE-BASED VAMPIRE VAPE RECONNECT WITH
WHAT MADE THEM HUGE, WHILST LAUNCHING NEW
PROJECTS TO BECOME THE ULTIMATE VAPE BRAND.
BY LEO FORFAR
The start of year marked one full year since Vampire Vape’s
co-founders and directors Nathan Walton and Phil Boyle moved
one of the industry’s most recognised brands into new facilities,
with a fresh vision of how far they could take it.
From short-fills to nicotine salts to CBD, there’s nothing an
energised vape industry can’t do at this point, and there’s
nothing they aren’t willing to try.
BACK TO BASICS
Nathan says the team has realised it’s been a while since
Vampire Vape brought out a 10ml range. “Vampire Vape
was built on the appeal of its 10ml liquids. That’s what we’re
known for: the perfect starter juice ranges for getting you off
the cigarettes. Bloodsucker was the last new 10ml flavour and
that was over 18 months ago. So, we began the year deciding
that, by February we’d have five brand new flavours. They’ve
been tried and tested by all the staff and they’re ready to go.
Everything is available in the standard nicotine strengths: zero

nicotine up to 18mg. Next month there will be another five, so 10
by the end of March.”
With renewed confidence in their reputation for welcoming
former smokers into vaping, Vampire Vape have been helping
New Year’s Resolution-makers keep their pledge by partnering
with SMOK. They provide two 10ml bottles of their signature
juices with every Novo starter kit sold on their website.
“We’ve never been too involved with hardware, but that’s going
to change this year. Pod systems are really popular and we want
a cost-effective delivery product. We will be branching out into
hardware by the middle of this year,” Phil says.
Vampire Vape has diversified, embracing every new arena in the
wide spectrum of the vaping industry. And the spotlight isn’t just
on hardware, but nicotine salts.
“Once we’ve seen how the new liquids perform, we’ll move on to
bringing out a nicotine salt version of the more popular ones, as
we did for Heisenberg and Pinkman – which both went through
the roof.”
