Every new buyer of wholesale is baffled by the pricing system. Let's take a quick look at the margins in the vapor industry.
The majority of licensed distributors mark up their product by 40% to 60% over manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP). So the $15.99 MSRP disposable usually will cost retailers $6.40 to $9.60 at wholesale, depending on how much they order and how exclusive the brand is.
Final unit cost depends on order volume, brand tier, applicable taxes and shipping.
Four variables can materially affect what a retailer pays per unit.
Bigger order sizes have more tier pricing.
Premium brands such as GeekVape and Vaporesso will offer higher margins than generic brands.
When your state taxes vapor products by volume or by percentage, that will be charged at checkout.
Adult signature required carriers are more expensive than standard ground, but are legally responsible for ENDS shipments.
The only time prices are much lower than any other supplier is when there's something going on. Thief or counterfeit products, expired stock, gray market imports that are not FDA compliant, or the sale of products by parties unaware of or unwilling to cover the legal liability.
We ship to licensed retailers in all states where vapor product sales are permitted under current federal and state law. Our central Houston location gives us strong freight access to the Midwest, South, and West Coast.
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and New Mexico.
Fast regional fulfillment from our central Houston distribution location.
Coast-to-coast delivery for approved business accounts.
Tracking and adult signature confirmation included. Every order ships with tracking and adult signature confirmation. We do not use USPS for ENDS shipments, in full compliance with federal regulations.
Yes. You need a registered business, an EIN, and a state resale certificate at minimum. Most states also require a tobacco or ENDS retail license, and we verify it before approving your account. We cannot sell to individuals.
Most verified retailers are approved quickly, usually within 24 hours. Applications are reviewed by our compliance team during business hours. If anything is missing, our team will contact you directly.
We operate as a wholesale business and do not handle retail sales. Buyers must be licensed retail businesses, smoke shops, convenience stores, or distribution entities. We do not sell to individual consumers.
No high minimum order quantities are required. Retailers can order a single display box when testing a new brand or place larger bulk orders. Volume tier pricing applies to bigger orders.
We ship nationwide where the specific product is legal to sell. Several states operate product registries or restrict flavored ENDS, and some cities impose stricter rules than their states. Your portal checks each SKU against your ship-to address before checkout.
The PACT Act establishes federal registration, reporting, tax and delivery requirements for businesses involved in interstate ENDS sales. Compliance is important because violations can result in substantial penalties, enforcement action and loss of shipping privileges.
Join licensed retailers across the country who trust Bahamoot for reliable supply, transparent pricing, and compliance-first distribution. Your wholesale account is free to open and typically approved within one business day.
