About Us
The Home of Vaping in Southampton & Hampshire
Our Story
The Nobacconists was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to help smokers find a better alternative. What started as a single shop on Commercial Road in Southampton has grown into a trusted name across Hampshire, with six stores serving our local communities.
As Vapor-Z South Ltd (trading as The Nobacconists, Company No. 08694139), we have been at the forefront of the UK vaping industry. We saw early on that vaping had the potential to transform lives, and we committed ourselves to providing the best products, the best advice, and the best customer experience in the region.
Our Mission
We believe every smoker deserves access to high-quality vaping products and honest, expert guidance. Our mission is to:
- Help smokers make the transition to vaping with confidence
- Provide only TPD-compliant, genuine products from reputable manufacturers
- Offer personalised, pressure-free advice from staff who are vapers themselves
- Maintain a welcoming environment where customers can try before they buy
- Support our local communities across Southampton and Hampshire

Our Commitment to Quality
Every product on our shelves has been carefully selected and vetted. We work directly with trusted manufacturers and distributors to ensure that everything we sell meets the strictest safety standards and UK TPD regulations.
Our staff undergo regular training to stay up to date with the latest products, regulations, and vaping science. When you ask us a question, you'll get an informed, honest answer — not a sales pitch.
Part of the Community
With locations in Commercial Road, Thornhill, Eastleigh, Leigh Park, Millbrook, and Bitterne, we're proud to be part of the fabric of our local communities. We don't just sell products — we build relationships. Many of our customers have been with us from the very beginning, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Pop into any of our stores for a friendly chat, a product demonstration, or just to say hello. The kettle is always on.
