Nobody sets out to spend twenty minutes on a vape shop trip. But a town centre visit is rarely just the shop — it's finding a space, paying at the machine, keeping half an eye on the clock, and walking back.
Both our Northampton shops sit outside the town centre for exactly that reason. You park outside the door, for free, for as long as you need.
Duston — 12 Limehurst Square, NN5 6LP
Limehurst Square is a local shopping parade with its own free car park directly in front of the shops. Pull in, park, walk about twenty paces. There's no meter, no barrier and no time limit.
Kingsthorpe — 10 Link Road, NN2 8EQ
Free parking directly outside on Link Road, a short way off the Harborough Road. Same arrangement: park, walk in, take as long as you like.
Full details and directions are on the Duston shop page and the Kingsthorpe shop page.
Buying a vape is not always a thirty-second transaction, and it shouldn't be.
If you're switching from cigarettes for the first time, a good visit involves holding two or three devices, talking through nicotine strengths, and probably trying a couple of flavours before you commit. That's a ten to fifteen minute conversation with someone who knows what they're talking about.
You cannot have that conversation properly with one eye on a parking meter. The single most common thing we hear from people who bought their first kit somewhere else is that they felt rushed and ended up with the wrong device — usually too complicated, occasionally too weak.
If you're coming in to talk something through rather than grab a bottle you already know, being able to park and not think about it is worth more than the couple of minutes it takes to drive out of the centre.
Duston is easiest from the west and south of town — Duston, New Duston, Upton, Sixfields, St James, Dallington, Spencer, Harpole, and both East and West Hunsbury. If you're anywhere near Sixfields it's a short run.
Kingsthorpe covers the north — Kingsthorpe, Kings Heath, Boughton, Moulton, Semilong, Obelisk and the Harborough Road corridor.
Not sure which is closer? Which of our shops is nearest you breaks it down by area.
Duston — Monday to Saturday 9am–6pm, Sunday 10am–4pm
Kingsthorpe — Monday to Friday 10am–7pm, Saturday 9am–6pm, Sunday 10am–4pm
Both open seven days. Kingsthorpe runs to 7pm on weekdays, which is the one to aim for after work. More on that in vape shops open on Sunday in Northampton.
The full range is on the shelves, not just the fast sellers: kits from OXVA, Vaporesso, Uwell and Voopoo, the pods and coils to go with them, and a wall of e-liquid including the bar-brand nic salts most people are looking for after the disposables ban — SKE Crystal and Lost Mary MaryLiq among them.
If you'd rather narrow it down before you set off:
Which vape coil do I need — or bring the device in and we'll match it in seconds
Is the parking really free? Yes, at both shops. No pay-and-display, no barrier, no time limit.
Do I need to book to get advice? No. Walk in and ask.
Can I bring an old device to be matched? Please do — it is far quicker than describing it, and it's the most reliable way to get the right coil or pod first time.
Do you deliver instead? We do, locally. See vape delivery in Northampton.
Can I collect an online order? Yes — order online and collect from either shop.
Vaping products are for adults aged 18 and over.
