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.

Safer alternatives to cigarettes could save millions of lives and billions of pounds, says think tank

Promoting safer alternatives to cigarettes could save 19 million years of life by 2030 and reduce smoking-related costs to taxpayers by up to £12.6 billion annually, a new report from the Adam Smith Institute (ASI) has revealed.

The think tank argues that the UK government's current approach to achieving a Smoke Free 2030 - defined as reducing smoking rates to 5 per cent or lower - is both illiberal and unworkable and will significantly set back progress against smoking related harm. The ASI warns that policies such as a generational tobacco ban, a new tax on vapes, and restrictions on heated tobacco products and flavours will hinder harm reduction efforts.
