Blackburn-based vaping firm Chief of Vapes has secured a contract with Bestway Wholesale to supply all 60 of their depots nationwide, said the company as it unveiled it’s disposable vaping range in flavours such as mango and watermelon.

The products contain nicotine and it is aimed to help people quit smoking.


Established by Mubashshir Abdul Aziz and Abdul Mulla in 2018, Chief of Vapes introduced their disposable range in September 2021. Each disposable comes pre-filled with 2ml of e-liquid and delivers approximately 600 puffs.

“The disposable range comes in 5 flavours including Mango Ice, Watermelon Ice, Blu Raspberry Ice, Energy Ice and Lush Ice with many more to come.

“It is a one time use vape disposable which has approximately 600 puffs equivalent to one cigarette pack. They retail at £5.99, half the cost of a pack of cigarettes,” reports quoted Abdul Aziz as saying, who added that Chief of Vapes is “one of the very few companies in the UK that are fully compliant with TPD (Tobacco Products Directive) regulations and are listed on the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) portal.”

“We decided to invest into a new product - our disposable vapes– ‘Chief’s Totem’, which became our lifeline in many ways. We travelled up and down the country to establish business relationships which eventually resulted in success. We are now delighted to be partnering up with Bestway Wholesale,” he said.

He further claimed that the disposable is designed to be more user friendly and practical than most products on the market.

“This device is aimed to assist people to quit smoking to live healthier, cleaner and greener lives by making the SWITCH to vaping easier and more effective.

“Helping the nation to achieve our Tobacco Control plan and being a smoke free nation by 2030, as studies have shown that vaping is safer than smoking by 95 per cent,” he said.
