If you have been around since the early days of vaping, you will remember the good old days when vape shop employees were helpful and knowledgeable about e-cigarettes, especially the refillable vapes. Now, it can sometimes feel like many vape shops are full of disposable vapes and staff with zero knowledge about what they sell. Where can I find hangouts for vapers to talk about e-liquid recipes and product performance, and occasionally find discounted vapes? Here are the 7 best vape forums you shouldn’t miss in 2026, where you can get answers from fellow vapers.
Table of Contents
1. E-cigarette Forum (ECF)
ECF takes the top spot. Its banner explicitly states that it is the world’s largest e-cigarette website. E-Cigarette Forum has been the voice of vaping since 2007. It’s a long-established and well-known vape forum for vapers of all levels to discuss vaping-related topics, including health issues and vaping success stories, and read vape reviews written by experienced vapers and specialists.
E-cigarette Forum is also open to partnerships with brands and vape retailers. If you are planning to hunt for some backlinks, ECF also offers paid promotional opportunities for businesses.
2. Vaping Underground
Vaping Underground is a community-oriented e-cigarette and vaping forum covering beginner education, vaping hardware, e-liquids, troubleshooting and general vaping discussion.
As VU itself states, it is a vape forum “for YOU.” My biggest problem with Vaping Underground is that I can’t receive my verification email. Without verifying my account, I can’t post or contact the moderators. You can read the posts from Vaping Underground with ease, but in my opinion, the site urgently needs some maintenance.
3. Vape VIP Club (My Personal Favorite)
Vape VIP Club is a relatively new but growing online vaping forum. Your posts are read and replied to by vapers from all over the world. Any vape-related topic is discussed here, including:
- Vape Reviews
- Vape Q&A
- Vape User Guides
- Vendors

As an independent vape publication, VapeMove also joined VapeClub.Vip and will share the latest articles and insider information with you.
4. Planet of The Vapes
Planet of The Vapes was founded in 2012, originally as a temporary online meeting place for UK vapers after another major vaping forum shut down. The community continued to grow, and the site was eventually renamed Planet of the Vapes through a member vote. Today, POTV describes itself as one of the UK’s largest vaping forums and news outlets.
POTV is not only a place for vapers in the UK to talk about e-juice recipes and coil building, but also an active supporter of vaping as a harm-reduction alternative for adult smokers. It has covered the “Save Vaping” campaign launched by Riot (Vape Juice brand) on August 19, 2026.
5. E-Liquid Recipes Forum
E-Liquid Recipes Forum is a community for vapers who make their own vape juice. Anything you need to know about DIY e-liquid mixing, such as PG/VG ratio, nicotine base choice and coolant, you can quickly find answers here, as many experienced DIY mixers regularly participate in the E-Liquid Recipes Forum and are willing to share their recipes for creative vape flavors.
Users of the E-Liquid Recipes Forum also recreate flavors inspired by popular disposable vapes to help you enjoy the classic flavors with a refillable vape.
6. All About E-Cigarette (AAEC)
All About E-Cigarette is another vaping forum mainly for British vapers. Different from other vaping communities, it does not display promotional advertising and is run by volunteers as a non-commercial community. Whether you are a beginner vaper looking for advice, an experienced vaper looking to share vaping tips, or a vendor who has a good deal, you can participate in AAEC for free.
7. UV Community
UV Community is a vape forum created by Vaporesso. This vaping forum is fabulous because it invites vaping influencers and reviewers from YouTube and other major platforms to join the forum, interact with community members and share their opinions on the latest vapes.
Unfortunately, login and new-user registration appear to be disabled, as UV Community seems to be in read-only mode. The latest visible posts date from June, suggesting that UV Community may now be inactive or read-only. The forum also appears to have experienced a wave of spam and backlink-farming posts before activity stopped. I hope the forum eventually reopens to new members.
Conclusion
Spending time with people who have the same hobbies is fun. Vapers deserve more places where they can share opinions and suggestions. As a potentially less harmful alternative to combustible cigarettes for adult smokers, much of the practical knowledge about vaping is shared by vapers themselves in vaping forums and helps smokers move away from cigarettes. For adult vapers, I recommend joining a vaping community and enjoying cloud chasing.
