Dan launched Oxford Vapours in 2012 at just 17 years old, having dropped out of a post-school business course, uninspired by it’s old fashioned thinking, but full of confidence that he could put his own unique approach into something new.

Inspired by the idea of stopping his family members from smoking and with a few hundred pounds of savings, Dan set up a decorating table in Templar Square shopping centre, Cowley and starting selling starter-kits to people who had never even heard of vaping.

This baptism of fire taught Dan what he needed to know about how to pitch this crazy new idea to die-hard smokers and more importantly what to do when these customers needed technical help, emotional support and guidance on their own personal journey to better health.

As vaping became more popular and Dan’s reputation for service grew, so did the company. Dan is delighted to now have 2 shops in Oxfordshire, oxfordvapours.com and the’Ohm Boy’ brand of E-liquids which is now stocked in hundreds of shops across Europe. All of which he approaches with the same drive, care and passion as he did when he sold his first starter kit.
