Ask the Internet

If you’re opening your vape shop and are wondering how to choose the best inventory, we suggest you first ask vaping forums to get a consensus. Some of the best visited and active vaping forums include:

When you gain access to these forums, you’ll want to ask the users what brands are the most reliable. You can expect to get many answers but usually, there will be some brands that will always come up, and these brands that are most commonly used as answers will be some of the brands you should consider stocking up on. But this is just the first step in deciding which brands you should buy for your vape shop.

When doing online research you should also look into Youtube reviews and written reviews, which aren’t sponsored by the brands. Because many Youtube reviews always tend to be positive, you’ll want to look for reviewers that do not get paid for their opinions and who always present you with both the weaknesses and strengths of the products and brands they review.

When looking at written reviews you also want to look for unsponsored content. There are plenty of independent media vaping websites that create best of’s and end-of-year lists about the best brands for hardware and vape juice. By using these three methods online, you can narrow down your best brands and get closer to deciding which ones to stock up on.

Pick Past Winners

Believe it or not, one of the best strategies for identifying great brands is to select brands that have stood the test of time. By doing a bit of research on the brands that you noticed on the forums are popular among vapers, you should be able to figure out how long they’ve been in business. The longer they’ve managed to sell their products, the more likely it is that they are a great brand with an established fanbase that will no doubt bring in the profit. Although you’ll want to pick new brands to satisfy vapers who want to try new flavors, 60% or at least 70% of your inventory should be filled with past winners that you know will perform well.

Ask Your Supplier

Another thing you can do is to ask your supplier about their bestselling brands. Instead of randomly picking brands that your supplier offers, ask them which brands have been selling the longest, or which are their best sellers. By doing this you can figure out which brands have been moving the most or the brands that will be most profitable for your vape shop. Do keep in mind that some brands do well regionally, so another thing to ask your supplier is what brands sell the most depending on the market your vape shop is in. Perhaps in the Midwest, candy and sweet vape juice brands tend to sell the most, while in the East menthol vape juice brands dominate that market.

Best Selling Brands At VapeRanger

As an international wholesale and bulk distributor of vape goods, we here at VapeRanger want to help you in choosing the best vape brands for your vape shop, which is why below we go over three brands we think every vape shop should carry and we split them up into three categories: hardware, vape juice, and nic salts. These brands have had the best-selling products in 2024 and we believe it’s because customers can’t get enough of them. So without further ado, here are the best selling brands at VapeRanger.

Test The Brands

Now that you know some of the top brands at VapeRanger, or you have done other research independently, we suggest you test drive the brands first to see how they perform. Whether it is a vape juice or box mod, try them for a few weeks and see what you personally think of the brands. This way, you get to know the flavors or devices first hand and see if they break or if they have any shortcomings.

Listen To Your Customers

Finally, our last piece of advice to identify the best vape brands for your vape shop is to listen to your customers. Often they will come in looking for a specific brand or flavor and this makes your job way easier. All you need to do is look for these brands or flavors and order them online. Although, we suggest you wait to see how many customers ask for the same brand, since catering to just one person might prove expensive, especially if nobody else is buying that brand.

Conclusion

We hope this blog helps you on your journey into figuring out the best brands for your vape shop. Remember that just like with every expense, you’ll learn with time what brands work best for your vape shop. You might also discover that unknown brands are highly popular in your location, so give it time and patience, and soon you’ll know exactly how to stock your inventory.
