Quick Picks

How We Picked These Shops

We started with every vape shop listed in Leicester and the surrounding suburbs on Google Maps. We removed convenience stores, delivery-only sellers and shops with too few reviews to judge. Each remaining shop was assessed on:

• Google rating and the number of reviews behind it
• What customers repeatedly praise or complain about, such as staff knowledge, genuine stock, pricing and refunds
• Range of devices, pods and e-liquids
• Opening hours, including Sundays and late evenings
• Location and accessibility

We only list shops with a track record of selling genuine products. No shop paid to appear in this ranking.
