UK Enterprise 2020

109 | UK Enterprise Awards 2020 In recent years, one electronic device has dramatically changed the smoking habits of many individuals. Instead of inhaling smoke, many have turned to vapor using electronic cigarettes as a replacement. With many stores across the UK solely selling vapes and the liquids, vaping has rapidly become a popular form of smoking. One retailer in particular offering products and guidance is Carmichael’s Vaping. Since opening the store, owner David Carmichael has worked tirelessly to ensure that his is honest about the products on offer, informing customers how they work and what they contain. We profiled Carmichael’s Vaping to discover more about the extraordinary success they have had over the years. Vaping Products Retailer of the Year 2020 - Buckinghamshire Since opening their doors, Carmichael’s Vaping has helped thousands of smokers to successfully quit the habit. The business strives towards finding out exactly why a person wants to quit, how much they currently smoke, then match them with the best equipment and liquid to help them quit. Throughout the years, vapes have consistently changed partially due to the gradual improvements that come with every new release, and also to the changes in legislation. In comparison to 2014, there is vast selection available today, as well as better quality equipment. The liquids have improved in both flavour and range, with over 10,000 flavour options available and 15 nicotine options, compared with just three in 2014. Whether a customer is looking for menthol or fizzy, even a flavour in between, 10000 flavour options Carmichael’s Vaping has the perfect solution. From the very beginning of the business, Carmichael’s Vaping has always dealt with the very best in the industry, from the manufacturers of their hardware, to the mixologists who formulate and produce many of the existing flavours found on the shop’s shelves. Some of these unique flavours include Lemon Tart, Raspberry Sherbet, Double Drip, as well as recent additions Lucky Thirteen and Black Widow and Voodoo Berry. In addition to the improved flavour, the upgraded hardware allows users to receive a much better flavour from the liquids, more power and a better mix of VG (Vegetable Glycerine), which generates a large cloud of smoke to appear. Recently, David and the team at Carmichael’s Vaping have seen pod systems to appear, which generate less fuss and mess, since the pods are sealed and do not leak. Recently, vaping has been shown to be one of the best ways to quit smoking. The team at Carmichael’s Vaping now work alongside Milton Keynes and Bedford’s no smoking service after receiving training. This now enables the team to offer additional facilities to help people quit, and will soon offer free equipment to customers who register. Having lived in Milton Keynes for more than 40 years, David considers his home town as one of the greatest places in the world, and could not even begin to imagine living anywhere else. This love, passion and connection to the town has enabled the business to develop an interesting space in the Tickford Arcade to operate from, Jul20423 featuring alongside a vast selection of other retailers. Going forward, David will continue to provide his award-winning service, striving to meet customer expectations by supplying the latest equipment at the best prices.
