About Us

How It Started

The Electric Tobacconist USA was founded in Boulder, Colorado back in early 2015, and we've called it our home ever since! Our brand started in the UK in 2013; following two fruitful years, we undertook a transatlantic expansion into the United States, forming ET USA as a fully-fledged, independent vape shop.

Our name pays homage to the traditional tobacconist: a local store where the community could pick up their supplies, discover the latest innovations in tobacco and get expert advice and recommendations on what to buy. Skip forward to the modern-day, and many are seeking alternatives to tobacco smoking; this is where we come in. The Electric Tobacconist USA was built to be a one-stop shop for e-cigarettes and tobacco alternatives that maintains the innovation, customer experience, and expertise offered by our namesake. We think of ourselves as a 21st-century tobacconist!

What Sets Us Apart

At The Electric Tobacconist, we like to ask ourselves "How can we serve the customer better, and how can we serve them faster?". This unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, reliability, and ingenuity has earned us a place as a leading online vape shop in the USA.

We understand that receiving items quickly is a must when shopping online, so we regularly review and refine our shipping processes to ensure that your orders arrive as quickly and reliably as possible. For example, all orders placed by 2pm (Mountain Standard Time) are dispatched the very same day, Monday through Friday, and shipping is free on all eligible orders of $120 or more (prior to sales and excise taxes). We’re also fully compliant with all state-specific restrictions across the United States, so there’s never any need to second guess your purchase.

The Electric Tobacconist is proud to utilize an industry-leading age verification process that has been seamlessly integrated into our checkout process. We’re committed to fighting youth vaping, so much so, we've limited bulk purchasing to reduce the possibility of unregulated reselling.

Where We're Headed

The e-cigarette market in the US is in the midst of a crucial shift, as focus has turned to PMTA and the importance of regulation. We welcome the progress towards a market that only sells FDA approved products. We work tirelessly to offer the best range of products that are fully compliant, each of which has been sourced, screened, and priced to cater to all types of vaper, whether they are complete beginners, experienced users, or somewhere in between.

The Electric Tobacconist USA is part of several associations and alliances that advocate for rational, fair and science-lead policies for e-cigarettes and broader smoking alternatives. Vapor products are, at their core, designed to help users go smoke-free! We are proud members of the VTA, AVA and RMSFA and believe that regulated growth, transparency and research are key to the future of the vaping industry. We strictly abide by all laws and regulations, which in turn supports the positive work of these organizations and ensures the industry grows in a healthy and positive way.
