A Vape Marketplace that Connects e-cigarette Manufacturers, Sellers, Wholesalers, and Customers
Vawoo.co.uk is a vape marketplace that connects e-cigarette manufacturers, sellers, wholesalers, and customers in one place. They launched their project in October 2018. First, the Vawoo team gained favor with 10 vaping vendors who opted to sell their goods on their platform. That was a moment of success that changed everything. Nowadays, the company develops in the B2B direction. They’ve already entered into a contract with +12 large vape companies and still grow. The marketplace has large daily traffic and hundreds of orders per week.
The idea to create a unique vape platform came in 2016 to ex-smokers Alexandra and Gareth, who after years of smoking, discovered e-cigarettes and gave up their bad habit. These young ambitious people (and now our friends) came up with the idea of creating something super useful for the instantly growing vape community, so as to help thousands of smokers quit cigarettes and switch to a healthier alternative.
