Common Questions from Venue Owners
Q: What’s the profit split?
A: The split is 10% of gross revenue, which is standard in vape vending. This covers costs like product, vape tax, sales tax, age verification, and software.
Q: How big are the machines?
A: The wall-mounted version is about the size of a jukebox (3x2 feet, 1 foot deep). The freestanding tower version is 6x2.5 feet.
Q: Do I need any licenses for this?
A: No. We handle all required licenses and permits. You won’t need to lift a finger.
Q: Can minors buy from the machine?
A: Absolutely not. Our Face ID verification blocks access to anyone underage, especially when minors are permitted in the venue.
Q: What kind of vapes do you sell?
A: We carry the most popular brands like Geek Bar, Raz, and Lost Mary. Machines are stocked with 10–18 top-selling products.
Q: Do you only sell vapes?
A: Not at all. We can include nicotine pouches and CBD items based on what fits your customer base.
Q: How much do other locations make?
A: It varies, but many bars make $500–$3,000/month. We can offer a trial month to test performance risk-free.
Q: What do I have to provide?
A: Just a Wi-Fi connection and an electrical outlet. Power usage is about the same as a standard TV.
Q: Does it have to be wall-mounted?
A: No. A pedestal mount is available if wall space is limited. Slightly larger footprint, same sleek look.
Q: How do I receive payment?
A: Direct deposit is standard, but we’re flexible. You’ll receive sales analytics with every payout.
Venue Owner Objections & How to Handle Them
Objection: My ATM/Game vendors give 50% split.
Rebuttal: That’s fair—for their industry. Vape vending includes costs like product, taxes, payment processing, software, and hardware. It’s not a cash cow, it’s a value-add that keeps customers in your bar longer and increases drink sales.
Objection: I don’t have space.
Rebuttal: These machines are slim—only a foot deep. Like a jukebox. Still skeptical? We’ll mock up placement in your venue using photos and Canva to show options.
Objection: 10% isn’t enough.
Rebuttal: This isn’t your main revenue stream—it’s a way to keep customers on-site. If needed, we can offer 20% for your location.
Objection: Now’s not a good time.
Rebuttal: Totally understand. I’ll follow up in a week or two to see if it feels like a better time.
Objection: I don’t allow vaping in my bar.
Rebuttal: If enforcement is difficult, we help manage it. If fines occur due to vaping (even unrelated to our machine), we’ll cover them.
Objection: I don’t like vapes.
Rebuttal: If customers are vaping anyway, why not benefit from it? This one’s tough—honesty and rapport go a long way.
Objection: Not interested / won’t talk.
Rebuttal: Respectfully hang up. If possible, try a warm referral or visit in person to build rapport.
Objection: I already have a vending machine.
Rebuttal: Ours are sleek, modern, and compact—wall-mounted with LED touchscreens. If they already have one, ask if there’s room for improvement or opportunities for better service.
