What factors should I consider when looking for a vape vending location?

Several factors affect the profitability of vape vending machines. While high-traffic areas and venues are important, the age demographic (21–35 years old) is the most crucial factor, coupled with optimized product and pricing selection. If you are selling nicotine-based products, stick with premium vapes and pouches like Geek Bar Pulse, Raz, ZYN, and ALP. Sell them at prices similar to or $1–$2 more than the local smoke or vape shops and place the machine in a high-visibility area. A good vape vending machine should generate over $1,000 in profit to the owner/operator per month.

Can vape machines accommodate other size products?

Yes, vape vending machines vend with different size coils ranging from 35mm in width to 55mm. VapeTM customizes coils to fit your product sizes, whether it be Breeze, ZYN, ALP, Geek Bar Pulse, or Raz!

Vape Vending Product Selection

Vapors are very brand-loyal and are often willing to pay more for their vape of choice over a discounted product. VapeTM has conducted extensive field testing—offering discounted vapes in machines across the United States—and the data suggests that vape machines produce higher revenue and profits when stocked with premium, high-priced vapes that align with market trends. Note: just because a brand is popular in one area doesn't ensure its popularity in another; for example, Breeze is extremely popular in Ohio and Michigan, but in Arizona, most vapors have never heard of it!

Pricing Optimization & Revenue Model

Strategy: Price vapes $1-$3 higher than the local smoke shops.
Based on insights, we recommend pricing vapes at average to slightly above-average levels. This strategy leverages the added value of convenience without sacrificing profit margins.

Revenue Model: Implementing a revenue-sharing model incentivizes venue owners to actively promote the vape machine. To learn more about vape vending profitability, click here.
