About Us

VapeTM was built by an operator, for operators. Founded in Ohio by Jordan Brown after firsthand experience with the fragmented, disconnected technology holding vending businesses back, we set out to build something better—a fully integrated ecosystem that handles hardware, software, payments, and support under one roof. Today, our proprietary Vending Management System (VMS) powers over 1,500 live machines nationwide across wall-mounted and free-standing touchscreen kiosks, and we sell over 300 vending machines each month.

Through a close manufacturing and development partnership with Reyeah, we co-developed what we believe to be a best-in-class smart digital vending machine platform. Jordan's early experience owning and operating vape vending machines in Cleveland, Ohio in 2023 exposed the pain of fragmented vendors and disconnected technology. The absence of a single cohesive solution led us to build a vertically integrated ecosystem designed to help operators efficiently launch, manage, and scale profitable vending routes.

While our initial focus centered on age-restricted products such as disposable vapes and nicotine pouches, we designed the platform to be flexible. Today, operators leverage the same technology to sell a variety of other products—including items like Pokémon card packs and other retail goods—using the same hardware and management system. Our VMS powers multiple machine formats—from compact wall-mounted units to free-standing floor kiosks—and centralizes control of hardware, software, and payments. The platform provides real-time transaction visibility, live inventory tracking with threshold-based alerts, built-in advertising tools, data analytics, and exportable, Excel-friendly reporting.

Operators manage everything through a cloud-based web portal and a companion mobile app (iOS and Android) that allows them to update products and pricing, push digital content, and monitor live activity from their phone—with changes applied instantly across their machines.

We are a Nayax OEM partner and provide full onboarding, along with Tier I and Tier II technical support for payment systems and machine integrations. We also support other MDB payment terminals including Castles, Pax, and Cantaloupe, allowing operators flexibility depending on their deployment needs.

All of this is backed by in-house technical support and software engineering teams. We combine in-app self-help guides with live chat and phone support to help operators build the operational knowledge they need. While vending is often marketed as "passive income," we're transparent that it is semi-passive but highly scalable with the right tools and support.

Unlike providers that broker or white-label third-party systems, we operate a fully owned and tightly integrated ecosystem. Whether you're launching your first machine or expanding an established route, our mission is simple: provide the technology, infrastructure, and expertise that make your vending business easier to run and easier to grow.
