It’s an exciting time for vaping enthusiasts everywhere! Especially here at Vape Juice, after our very good friends over at Prohibition walked away with a highly prized Vapouround Award this month. In today’s blog post, we will look back at the journey leading up to receiving this award…
Who Are Prohibition?
Now, if you’re completely unfamiliar with the name Prohibition, I must ask, where have you been for the past ten years? Many of the brands you know and love form part of the powerhouse production group that is Prohibition. They’re an award-winning e-liquid manufacturer that has just bagged a HUGE win at the eighth annual Vapouround Awards in 2023.
Their impressive journey of success has been a long time coming – they have been crafting premium e-liquids since 2012 and have grown to become both leaders and pioneers within their industry. But to us, they’re more than just a namesake. They form part of our very foundations. In fact, every liquid you see on the eCommerce line-up here at Vape Juice has been crafted by the proverbial vape Gods for your perusal and… enjoyment.
The Rise To Fame, Igniting An Old Flame.
As mentioned above, the team at Prohibition have a longstanding history of producing big-name brands within the vape industry. Yeti, Prohibition Potions, and Holy Cow, to name but a few. But their journey started way back in 2012 in a bustling high street at the heart of Kent in Maidstone.
Setting the hustle and bustle aside, they were determined not to get lost in the crowd. And that’s exactly what they did. Rising above, as their products began to quickly capture the attention of the nation.
Starting life as a coffee house meets vape store, encapsulated in a 1920s speakeasy-inspired setting, the brand quickly grew with the introduction of its first in-house brand – Potions. The line-up consisted of seven flavours: Black Crack, Grace’s Secret, Ice Remington, Pink Liquor, Moonshine Punch, Blue Raspberry Hooch and Bathtub Gin.
The liquids cleared the shelves before the team could replenish, and before long, they had become a staple amongst flavour-chasing vapers of the early 2010s. They’d struck a chord with vapers, who wanted to experience an old-time classic they’d grown familiar with in an entirely new way.
From there, the brand soon established a further three stores across the South East, with Hoxton leading the way, before saying hello to Tunbridge Wells and, lastly, Canterbury.
Fast forward to 2023, and the stores have all but whittled away in picturesque pursuit of production perfection, putting every ounce of the company’s directive into becoming the most successful and aspirational manufacturers in the UK. And they did it. Loudly and proudly!
After five years, Prohibition brought the spark back to an old flame, teasing the masses with a comeback many had sought for years. Potions… made a historic return in April 2023 with a complete revision to flavours and a full overhaul in design.
Prohibition now has countless awards under its belt, with the most recent arriving in May this year, where the brand took home ‘Best Manufacturer’ as well as runner-up in ‘Best Branding & Marketing’ at the eighth annual Global Vapouround Awards – quite the achievement!
The Prohibition legacy will go down as one of craftsmanship, innovation and dedication for all to admire for years to come.
