Who Likes Vape Pens?

So what kinds of customers are coming into your smoke shop looking for Vape Pens? To put it bluntly, pretty much everyone. No seriously, Vape Pens are one of the most broadly enjoyed devices that we distribute and have the type of mass appeal only seen from legitimate grass roots fandom.

Where other items in your store operate on niche followings, Vape Pens are the one product that is picked up by shoppers of all different spending habits. Thanks to their unmatched portability providing reliable means for customers to enjoy their various materials, Vape Pens cross over into all sensibilities.

Whether people are looking for a Vape Pen to bring along to work, out on the town, or simply chilling on the couch - they are going to by stopping in at your store to get their hands on them. So long as you have the supply to accommodate their demand, you are poised to tap into this hot market for some consistent, easy sales.

What Are Vape Pens?

With everyone and their mother looking to buy a Vape Pen, what do we actually consider them to be or not to be? As a general rule of thumb Vape Pens are hand held devices that either resemble the straight cylindrical look of a pen or occupy a shape small enough to fit in the pocket.

These devices will focus on vaporizing either cartridges, concentrates, and dry herbs - the big three of popular materials. Some Vape Pens like the Exxus Vape VRS 3-In-1 are able to handle both cartridges and concentrates, most will focus on doing one thing and doing it well.

Vape Pens are powered by compact rechargeable batteries with the strength to bring materials to the point of vaporization, yet still small enough to be brought along while customers go about their day.

Where Are Vape Pens Sold?

Luckily for us, Vape Pens are primarily only sold at smoke / vape shops, giving businesses like yours a near monopoly on their distribution. The types of pens needed for 510 threaded connections or with the ability to handle customers' complex materials like concentrates, are simply not found anywhere else.

With this hold on the market, the challenge then becomes ensuring you have the best possible inventory of Vape Pens to meet the demand and satisfy the steady stream of customers looking for reliable and innovative options.

While Vape Pens are available through online vendors, as a brick and mortar store you have the distinct advantage of letting customers actually hold the device in their hands. This lets them get a realistic view of what using it would be like, giving them more confidence in their purchase and boosting your rates of consumer satisfaction.

When Are Vape Pens Used?

So what does the daily life of a vape pen look like? Well thanks to their unmatched portability Vape Pens are used all throughout the day by customers, there is no time nor place that using one would be deemed odd.

Whether this is relaxing with their Vape Pen and a cup of coffee before heading in to work, chilling in the middle of the day with friends, or kicking back at night to unwind - there’s a never ending number of situations in which people like to break out the clouds.

Because of this all day operation, customers will expect their batteries to be capable of keeping up and providing dozens of sessions on each charge. To satisfy that need, at Got Vape Wholesale we employ extensive product vetting to guarantee long lasting devices, for boosted customer satisfaction.

Why Should Your Shop Stock Vape Pens?

You should stock Vape Pens in your smoke shop for the simple reason that customers absolutely love them. They are one of the most popular vaporizers out there and have become a regular fixture in our pop culture. With so much behind them, your shop should 110% have a variety of them on the shelves (if you don’t already).

Not only do they love their Vape Pens but they also lose them! That’s right, due to the smaller size and propensity for people to bring them along while out, Vape Pens are a commonly lost item that needs replacing.

This creates a revolving door of customers who will continue to purchase Vape Pens from your shop so long as your prices are in line with the market and your selection reliable. Should you establish your smoke shop like this, then you are paving the way to using Vape Pens as a profit buoy amidst the more tumultuous economic circumstances we find ourselves in.

Additionally, since Vape Pens are able to work with multiple cartridges and provide clouds for years on end - these are the type of affordable products that customers are going to be flocking to as the economy fluctuates.

That’s why having a competent variety of Vape Pens that represent all price points is a must in order to service your shoppers and build your profits.

How To Use A Vape Pen?

For an added bonus we’ve thrown in the how of Vape Pens for free! All levity aside, it is important to have a grasp on how the Vape Pens in your shop function. To assist with this we wanted to go over some of the most common operating systems that Vape Pens use.

Many Vape Pens employ the universal button press method of operation where customers control their devices via pressing the power button a specific amount of times. This refers to pressing the power button 5x to turn on / off the vape, 3x to change temperature settings, and 2x to activate a pre-heat (should they have it).

A large majority of Vape Pens use this system, especially ones that are 510 threaded for cartridges. Make sure to memorize these inputs, first time customers unfamiliar with Vape Pens will see the lack of a screen and wonder how they control it, by knowing the prompts you can easily show them and demonstrate how seamless of a control method it is.

Other Vape Pens use an auto-draw function where the customer must inhale from their device in order to change settings. Oftentimes this will mirror button pressing, for instance inhaling from the device 5x in a row to turn it on.

What Is A Penjamin?

The term “Penjamin” is one of the most popular slang terms for Vape Pens, commonly being used in memes spread across social media celebrating, deriding, and laughing at the ins and outs using their devices.

As always the internet has taken and run with Pen puns, resulting in a never ending list of new additions like “Pen Affleck” or “Obi Wan Penobi” joining in on the hilarity. This has created a fun sub-culture within vaping dedicated to Vape Pens, further popularizing them by boosting their view in the public eye.

Next time you hear a shopper coming in to replace their beloved “Penjamin” you know they aren’t talking about a break up, but instead looking for a new Vape Pen.

What Types Of Vape Pens Are There?

When it comes down to it there are two distinct types of vape pens, Cartridge Vaporizer and Wax Pens. While very similar, each of these pens utilizes different materials and will be attractive to different sets of customers.

Cartridge Vaporizers are as the name suggests equipped with 510 threaded connections allowing for the universal attachment of oil cartridges. These are the most popular type of Vape Pen, as they offer the most straightforward experience possible that while simple, is still incredibly satisfying.

Wax Pens on the other hand are designed to work with concentrates, dense materials like wax that require even hotter temperatures and some more input from customers. As a result, Wax Pens can be somewhat harder to use, but result in one of the most powerful experiences possible.

Having a mixture of these two is a great way to reach all customers and keep your inventory as competitive as possible, two musts in order to brace ourselves for all future markets.

What Are The Best Vape Pens To Stock?

To help you out, we’ve highlighted some of our best selling Vape Pens below. Take a look over them to get a good view of what’s available now and what customers are currently flocking to, before getting your smoke shop all stocked up.

Another popular choice packed with modern features like a concealed cartridge chamber and boosted 3.5g cart capacity, we have the Exxus Vape Snap DLX 510 Voltage Battery.

Since dropping early this year, customers have been responding in droves to the “bar-esque” design of the Snap DLX and how it provides them with the most discrete and private way to enjoy their cartridges while out and about.

For a best selling wax pen option, we have the Pivot Limited Edition Mocha Mobile Vaporizer in stock right now. The Pivot utilizes an exceptional ceramic chamber and an incredibly powerful battery to provide E-Rig quality dabs, all with the size of a standard Vape Pen.
