UK Enterprise Awards 2021

276 | UK Enterprise Awards 2021 Best Personalised Cigarette Quitting Support Services - North West England With the largest range of vaping products at low prices in Lancashire, Choppa Vapes has gone from strength to strength since its inception. We take a look at where it all began and how it is poised for future growth and success. Choppa Vapes (Choppa) grew from humble grassroot beginnings, having begun as a hobby of mixology that has led to an internationally recognised brand, featuring many unique flavours and ingredients which are now firm favourites. Choppa started very much from the ground up and has had an amazing support network in many forms, from dedicated Facebook pages to email and telephone support, and many other social media outlets. Now, Choppa aims to provide the latest hardware at the lowest prices with emphasis on the very best personal service. Everything at Choppa is done in-house, from manufacturing E-liquids to creating its own ‘nic shots’, meaning it is all of a high grade and all UK made. Market trends in the vaping industry are constantly changing, from the devices and liquids to the innovation. Choppa has so far adapted well to market trends and due to this the business has grown substantially – it now operates wholesale. However it must keep on innovating in order to stand apart from others in what is a very competitive space. The use of Choppa’s flip-top bottles, for example, makes the product very easy to use and the bottles are UK-made, not imported in, ensuring they are of a high standard. Choppa also offers 12ml ‘taster’ shortfill bottles in all of its flavours so customers can sample flavours before buying larger products. Finally, if a customer requires mg then all shortfill bottles are filled to the top to ensure that customers do not lose any amount of liquid - Choppa is the only vape manufacturer on the market to do this and has been since day one. Choppa has several retail stores around the country, run by veteran hobbyist vapers, all of which have an inclusive, family-style environment to ensure service is friendly and personal at all times, along with being able to offer great advice and service. Choppa places a large emphasis on stopping smoking and helping customers to quit the habit. In its main store, it employs several staff members dedicated to providing custom plans to help people stop smoking, as well as providing support along the journey. This includes advice on quitting, and help setting up their new vaping devices. The company website offers a white label option for vaping companies, with full support, including social media back-up, being provided by Choppa employees so that vape shops stocking Choppa products are able to boost their sales. Due to the company’s continued success, the new Choppa Collection brand hit the wholesale market in July 2021 and is providing the best juices to the masses, and a new ‘nic salt’ range, which has a higher nicotine content than the juices, is also on the cards, promising to be another premium product. The brand has received many five-star reviews and is trusted among the vaping community. It has also won many awards that were voted for by online vaping channels and pages, including being Voted Best E-Liquid Juice Manufacturer 2019, as well as Best Blue Slush and Lemon Flavours in the country! It’s latest accolade, however, is that of Best Personalised Cigarette Quitting Support Service in North West England, as awarded by the UK Enterprise Awards 2021.
