Another vape store has just opened in Swindon town centre but insists it will be different.

Tidal Vape shop opened on Regent Street at the end of August, replacing a former phone shop, and the owners say they are delighted the response from locals has been friendly and welcoming.

The Swindon store is among more than 20 other Tidal Vape shops mostly located on the South Coast and offers an extensive range of disposable vapes, vaping kits, different nicotine strengths, e-cigarettes and accessories. 

Within Swindon it is competing with at least 14 other vape stores in the town.

Operations Manager Dan Flood said: “We totally understand the concerns about vape shops appearing in town centres, especially those that don’t integrate well with the community or sell products of questionable quality.

"That’s why we’re committed to setting ourselves apart by offering a truly safe, vibrant, and professional environment that enhances Swindon High Street.

“Our focus is on harm reduction, helping people quit smoking, and providing a trusted place for vapers to shop.

"We want to be more than just another business; we aim to be a positive part of the community and a resource for those looking to make healthier lifestyle choices.

"We’re not just another vape shop; we’re committed to being a trusted and reliable space that Swindon can be proud of."
