In just a few years, e-cigarettes have completely changed how society views smoking. Selling cigarettes used to be a very profitable business, but today it is losing ground. Vapes have almost entirely replaced traditional tobacco products, and demand for them grows every day.
That is no surprise: the vapour of an e-cigarette is tasty, aromatic and less harmful to health — which cannot be said about cigarettes. Heavy cigarette smokers are easy to spot by their unhealthy complexion, hoarse voice and the unpleasant smell of tobacco smoke. Nobody wants to look like that today, which is why many people in Europe and Ukraine are buying e-cigarettes.
Unlike cigarettes, e-cigarettes are safe and convenient to use. They leave no unpleasant smell on clothes or hair and can be used anywhere it is permitted.
Modern vape shops with a wide range of products are appearing in place of outdated tobacco kiosks. Their customer base is growing rapidly, and the vaping business is considered one of the most promising and profitable.
Trading in vape products is highly profitable yet does not require large retail space. Compact pod systems and their accessories take up little room, so to start you can manage with just a few display cases in a busy location.
The easiest way to start your own business is to become a dealer of a large wholesale company.
A dealer relationship with a reliable supplier has many advantages:
A wholesaler always has a large range and attractive prices, which lets you meet the needs of any retail customer and earn a steadily high profit from a promising business.
To sell e-cigarettes legally you must comply with the requirements of the law.
From what age can you buy a vape? By law, vapes, liquids and other related goods may be sold only to people who have already turned 18. This restriction is the same as the one for alcohol and tobacco products. Although vapes are safer than cigarettes, they still contain nicotine, which can be harmful to the health of minors.
Vape products may not be advertised on outdoor or indoor advertising media, on vehicles, on radio, television or online media. In print media, advertising of e-cigarettes is prohibited only on the first and last pages, except for printed materials intended specifically for minors. Vape advertising also may not be shown during sporting events or cultural and entertainment activities attended by people under 18.
To prevent minors from visiting online stores, prior age verification of the user must be applied. This can be done by scanning an identity document or by other methods. Note that pod systems and component kits — unlike classic e-cigarettes and ready-made liquids — are not excisable goods, so they are not subject to the ban or the strict restrictions described above.
To satisfy demanding vapers you need to offer a wide choice of flavours and the freshest new releases. This helps retain regular customers and attract new ones. Every vaper has their own preferences, and not everyone likes the generally popular flavours. Experienced vapers are always looking for new experiences, so it is important to refresh the product range on the shelves regularly.
The Octolab wholesale online store offers a wide selection of e-cigarettes, component kits and accessories at competitive prices. The company is actively expanding its dealer network and already has more than 430 retail vape shops and almost 60 specialised online stores. 214 wholesale clients have been working successfully with Octolab for several years.
