Choosing the right Vape Vending Machine and Provider
How to pick the best vape vending machine?
There are dozens of vape vending machine manufacturers online and for the most part, they are all relatively the same. They are manufacturerd in China, feature a 32" digital touchscreen, have WiFi capability and software, and rely on robust and traditional coil and motor mechanism. Most companies sell countertop, wall-mounted, and pedestal or upright standing vending machines. Most of these machines come equipped with a credit card reader like Nayax or Cantaloupe, and feature some type of age verification via ID scanner, biometric age verification or some type of QR-code based software that makes customers upload their drivers license. So...how do I pick the right provider?
Oddly enough, picking the right vending machine manufacturer isn't about the machine--almost all of the equipment is equally reliable and comes from China. China has gotten good at quality control and almost all of the vending machines are reliable. What differs between companies is software and support. Good software that allows end-users to experience a positive transaction and in-house support help operators maximize uptime. Most Chinese companies know very little about owning or operating a vape vending route and their software is non-operator focused and clunky. Often-times there are tremendous language barriers and support can be frustrating or feel non-existent.
VapeTM is the only company in the United States that offers domestic, in-house software coupled with in-house support. While their prices may be slightly higher than Alibaba or China-direct, their team ensures on-boarding success and end-to-end support so that you can scale your operation. It is worth its weight in gold.
