In 2011, CEO and founder of Essex E-Liquid, Dennis Weddle opened Wenatchee Vape Shop in Wenatchee, WA. The shelves were stocked with e-liquid from wholesale distributors. Personally vaping for seven years at the time, Dennis experimented and produced his first line of e-liquid. He named it, Vaping Vinnie and sold it exclusively at Wenatchee Vape Shop location. Using his ability to create premium e-liquid blends, Dennis produced two more lines for the store, Bear E-Juice and Kool Vapes E-liquid.
At the start of 2012, after 14 months of meticulously perfecting his creation, Dennis launched his line of high-end, premium e-liquid.
Using Wenatchee Vape Shop as the platform of public acceptance Dennis debuted the first six flavors of Essex E-Liquid in March 2013. He then partnered with marketing genius Stacey D. for one year and launched the new Essex E-Liquid, LLC. By 2014, Essex had gained numerous wholesale customers.
Dennis turned over Wenatchee Vape Shop in Wenatchee to his former partners and continued to develop the premium e-liquid company Essex E-Liquid, LLC.
At this time Essex E-Liquid moved to a facility exclusively for manufacturing and distribution. The Essex E-Liquid facility includes a clean room laboratory built by C.B.I. Inc. Along with the clean room laboratory, Essex E-Liquid has their own in house graphic design and printing facility, storage rooms, office spaces and shipping department.
Essex continuously works hard to keep ahead of industry regulations. This insures the continuance of Essex E-Liquid and protects our wholesale customers, distributors, and stores.
To this day Dennis can be found in the lab after hours, experimenting with flavor combinations, working with over 300 different flavors the possibilities are endless. Dennis is known for his passion regarding developing premium e-liquids, "it still blows me away that I am able to do what I love for work, creating new flavors and lines has became my favorite past time."
Essex E-Liquid strives to create the best possible relationships with our customers and vendors alike. Whether, you are a retail customer, wholesale customer or distributor, we will go above and beyond to ensure we meet your needs. We are grateful for all of our customers and the wonderful souls we have met along this journey.
