Become a
vending dealer
With vaping booming across the UK, we offer the ability to operate your own scaleable vending machine business.
Over the past decade, vaping has firmly established itself as a less harmful alternative to cigarette smoking. Around 9% of the UK’s adult population vape regularly with this number increasing steadily year-on-year.
The advent of disposable vaping devices has changed the vaping industry massively by offering a high-end vaping experience in a format that does not the require the service element traditionally offered by dedicated vape shops.
Vape Bot vending machines offer a legally compliant means of selling such age-restricted products in unattended retail environments.
If you are considering the concept of vape vending either as a standalone project or as an addition to your company’s existing offering, Vape Bot offers a tried and tested solution specifically designed for disposable vaping products. As a dealer, you will have access to our range of vending machines and the tools needed to operate and maintain them.
