Let’s be honest — shopping for vapes should be simple. Whether you’re restocking your favourite e-liquid, upgrading your kit, or just picking up some coils before they run out (again), the last thing you want is a complicated buying process. That’s where The eCig Store comes in. With physical shops dotted around Ireland and a slick online setup with Click & Collect, you can shop however suits your day best.
In this post, I’m going to walk you through the different ways you can shop with The eCig Store — in-store, online with home delivery, or using their handy Click & Collect service. By the end, you’ll know exactly which option works best for you (and trust me, there’s no wrong answer here).
Who Are The eCig Store, Anyway?
Before we get into the how, let’s quickly cover the who. The eCig Store is one of Ireland’s longest-running and most trusted vape retailers. Based in Galway with stores across the country, they’ve been helping Irish vapers — from total beginners to seasoned cloud chasers — find the right gear for years now.
They stock pretty much everything you could need, including Vape Kits, Vape Pods, Vape Bars, Mods, Tanks, Coils, E-Liquids, and loads of Accessories too. They even carry nicotine pouches and an HHC alternative range. Basically, if it has to do with vaping, they’ve probably got it.
Now let’s get into the different ways you can shop with them.
Option 1: Shopping In-Store
There’s something about walking into a proper vape shop that online just can’t replicate. You get to see the products up close, feel the weight of a new mod in your hand, and actually chat to someone who knows what they’re talking about.
Why People Still Love In-Store Shopping
Honestly? Sometimes you just want to see the thing before you buy it. Photos online are great, but there’s no substitute for holding a vape kit and figuring out if it feels right for you. And if you’re new to vaping, walking into a shop can save you hours of Googling and YouTube deep-dives.
Here’s what you get when you shop in-store at The eCig Store:
- Face-to-face advice from staff who actually vape themselves and know their stuff
- The chance to see products in person — colours, sizes, and build quality
- Same-day purchases — no waiting for delivery
- Flavour recommendations based on what you already like (game-changer for e-liquid shopping)
- Help troubleshooting if your current kit is playing up
If you’ve ever bought an e-liquid online and thought “yeah, that’s not really what I expected”… you’ll know why chatting to someone in-store is so handy. The team can point you toward flavours and strengths that actually match what you’re after.
Finding Your Nearest eCig Store
Not sure where the closest shop is? No bother. Just head over to the Store Locator on their website and you’ll see all their locations laid out clearly. Pop in your town or county and it’ll show you what’s nearby, along with opening hours.
Option 2: Shopping Online with Home Delivery
Okay, so maybe you don’t live near a store. Or maybe you just don’t feel like leaving the couch — we’ve all been there. The good news is that The eCig Store’s website is genuinely easy to use, and their delivery setup is one of the best in the country.
What Makes Their Online Shopping Stand Out
A few things, actually. First up, they do same-day dispatch on any orders placed before 3pm. So if you’re running low on pods and you order at 2pm on a Tuesday, it’s out the door that same day. That’s rare enough in Ireland, let me tell you.
Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect with their online orders:
- Free delivery on orders over €45 (easy enough to hit if you’re stocking up)
- Same-day dispatch before 3pm — no faffing about
- Tracked delivery with DPD so you know exactly where your order is
- Huge product range — pretty much everything they stock in-store is online too
- Secure checkout with Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all accepted
I reckon the DPD tracking is underrated. There’s nothing worse than waiting around all day wondering if your parcel’s turning up. With DPD, you get a time window, so you can plan your day without stress.
What You Can Order Online
Basically everything. The online shop mirrors the in-store range, so whether you’re after Starter Kits, Pod Kits, Pre-Filled Vape Pods, or the latest Disposable Vape Bars, you’ll find it. They also carry big brands like Elfliq, Hale, VMist, Innokin, Riot Salts, and plenty more.
Oh, and if you’re buying for someone else (or you’ve got a tricky friend who’s picky about flavours), there are Gift Cards available too. Always a safe bet.
Option 3: Click & Collect — The Best of Both Worlds
Now, this is the option I think a lot of people overlook, and honestly, it’s brilliant. Click & Collect lets you order online and then pick your order up from one of their stores. No delivery fees, no waiting for a courier, and you get your stuff the same day in most cases.
Why Click & Collect Just Makes Sense
Think about it: you get the convenience of browsing online at your own pace — comparing products, reading descriptions, checking reviews — and then you get the speed of picking it up in person. No delivery stress, no missed parcels, and no unexpected delays.
It’s especially handy if:
- You need something quickly and don’t want to wait for delivery
- You’re not home much and can’t easily accept parcels
- Your order is under €45 and you’d rather skip the delivery charge
- You want to double-check something with staff before fully committing
- You live close enough to a store that popping in is easier than waiting in
I’ve used Click & Collect loads of times for different stuff, and it’s always just… easier. You skip the queue because your order’s already sorted, and you’re in and out in a couple of minutes.
How Click & Collect Works at The eCig Store
It’s honestly about as simple as it gets:
- Browse the online shop and add what you want to your basket
- At checkout, choose the Click & Collect option and pick your preferred store
- Wait for the confirmation that your order’s ready (usually pretty quick)
- Pop into the store, grab your order, and you’re sorted
That’s it. No delivery fee, no delays, no hassle.
So, Which Shopping Option Is Right for You?
Honestly, it depends on what kind of day you’re having. Here’s a rough guide based on real-life situations:
Go In-Store If…
You’re new to vaping and want some proper advice, you’re not sure which product is right for you, or you just enjoy actually seeing things before you buy. It’s also a good shout if you’re trying to switch from smoking and need someone to walk you through the options properly.
Go Online for Home Delivery If…
You know exactly what you want, you live nowhere near a store, or you’re placing a bigger order and free delivery is a nice bonus. Also handy if you’re restocking stuff you already love and just want it delivered to your door.
Go Click & Collect If…
You want it fast, you don’t want to pay delivery, and you live close enough to a store to swing by. Honestly, this is my go-to when I’m running low on something and don’t want to wait. It’s the sweet spot between online and in-store.
A Few Other Things Worth Knowing
Whichever way you choose to shop, there are a few extras that make The eCig Store a pretty solid pick overall.
Their Guide to Vaping
If you’re new to this whole thing (or you know someone who is), their Guide to Vaping is worth a look. It explains the basics in plain English, without all the technical jargon. Dead useful if you’re trying to figure out the difference between nicotine salts, shortfills, and regular e-liquid.
Customer Support That Actually Answers
Stuck on something? You can give them a call on 091 756 835 for phone orders or support, or fire off an email through their Contact Us page. They’ve also got a thorough FAQs section that covers most of the common questions.
Returns and Delivery Info
Everything you need to know about getting your order (or sending it back if something’s not right) is on their Delivery & Returns page. It’s all laid out clearly, no small print nonsense.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Click & Collect free at The eCig Store?
Yep, Click & Collect is completely free. You just order online and pick up from your chosen store — no delivery charges involved.
How long does Click & Collect take?
Most orders are ready pretty quickly — usually the same day if placed during store hours. You’ll get a confirmation message when your order is ready to collect, so you’re not guessing.
What’s the minimum spend for free delivery?
Free delivery kicks in on any online order over €45. Anything below that and there’ll be a standard delivery charge, but it’s easy enough to hit that threshold if you’re buying a kit or stocking up on e-liquids.
Do they dispatch orders on the same day?
They do — as long as you place your order before 3pm. Anything after that goes out the next working day. It’s one of the quickest turnaround times I’ve come across in Ireland for vape gear.
Can I track my order?
Absolutely. All deliveries are sent via DPD, so you can track your parcel every step of the way. You’ll get an email with your tracking details once the order is dispatched.
Do I need to create an account to shop online?
Not essential, but it’s worth doing. An account lets you track past orders, save your details for quicker checkouts, and keep an eye on anything you’ve added to your wishlist.
Can I get advice in-store if I’m new to vaping?
100%. That’s actually one of the best reasons to visit in person. The staff know their products inside out and can point you in the right direction based on what you’re looking for — whether you’re trying to quit smoking or just want to try something new.
What brands does The eCig Store carry?
Loads. They stock most of the big names including Elfliq, Hale, VMist, Innokin, Riot Salts, Bar Juice 5000, Impjar, and plenty of others. Whether you’re after disposables, kits, or premium e-liquids, the range is solid.
Where are The eCig Store locations?
They’ve got several stores around Ireland. The easiest way to find your nearest one is through the Store Locator on their site — just type in your area and it’ll show you what’s closest.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, there’s no single “right” way to shop for your vape gear — it really just depends on what suits your lifestyle. If you want advice and to see products in person, head to one of their stores. If you want convenience and a bit of a restock on your couch, order online. And if you want the best of both worlds, Click & Collect is honestly hard to beat.
Whatever you go for, The eCig Store has made the whole process about as painless as it can be. Fast dispatch, solid delivery, friendly in-store staff, and a proper Irish-based operation that actually cares about its customers. Can’t ask for much more than that really.
So whether you’re a daily vaper, a total beginner, or just someone topping up on favourites, give them a shout on 091 756 835, swing by your nearest store, or have a browse of the online shop. Easy as that.
