Steps to Maximize Profits with Vape Machines: Calculator Guide
Average Profit from a Vape Vending MachineÂ
On average, a well-placed vape vending machine can earn between $12 to $14 in profit per unit sold. With typical sales of 2 to 3 vapes per day, this translates to $24 to $42 in daily gross profit — or $720 to $1,260 in monthly gross profit.
But let’s dive deeper using real figures.
Detailed Breakdown by Price Point
The profitability of a vape vending machine depends on the retail price, wholesale cost, and several key deductions. Here are three example pricing models:
| Details | $22 Price Point | $25 Price Point | $30 Price Point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Retail Price (incl. tax) | $22.00 | $25.00 | $30.00 |
| Sales Tax (can be passed on) |
$1.65 | $1.88 | $2.25 |
| Vape Cost (wholesale price) |
$5.75 | $8.00 | $9.75 |
| Credit Card Fees | $0.76 | $0.85 | $1.00 |
| Bar Owner Commission (15%) |
$3.30 | $3.75 | $4.50 |
| Gross Profit Per Unit | $12.19 | $12.40 | $14.75 |
So even at the lowest price point of $22, you can net over $12 per vape.
Monthly & Annual Profit Projections
Let’s assume 75 vapes sold per month, a conservative estimate for a single machine in a high-traffic location
| Monthly Sales (75 units) |
$22 Price | $25 Price | $30 Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gross Profit/Month | $914.25 | $930.00 | $1,106.25 |
| Gross Profit/Year | $10,971.00 | $11,160.00 | $13,275.00 |
