The company that has made the most money in the Vape Industry is:

Whoever makes those little blue screwdrivers.

Seriously - I dont think that I have bought any atty that didnt have one.

Well not the Strata, and I dont think the Spheroid.

Heck, even some of the mods come with them. Whoever they are, they have one heck of a sales team.

Yeal, a person can never have too many of those magic screwdrivers. I wrap my coils on one, use another to mount it and fog the room good. My coils always produce great vapor and great flavor after being coiled and mounted with those little blue handled screwdrivers. Pure magic I tell you.

 

[AndriaD]

Oh god, not the bluedrivers again.

I think it is whoever that makes the clones (china), not only do they ship to the US retailers but also to worldwide retailers, and even to places that are forbidden of sale.

If ever my local B&M has a Halloween party, I will go as a Blue Screwdriver

Whoever makes vg and pg, the bulk vendors. Whoever makes glass drippers too.

 

[Pclarity]

PG/VG gets my vote. Most consumable item in the vape industry. Even BT AND BP gotta pay the PG tax.

 

[Train2]

Nah, we're just a blip in the VG market, and it's cheap.
We're not talking GROSS, but profit, right?
That's gonna be something marked up a lot...like maybe premium liquid at $30 for $1.33 in materials cost.
Or, more realistically due to volume - Kanger or Innokin.

The kanthal a1 manufacturer temco

1.33 ? Does that include the bottle, the process of bottling include the label and possibly some distro costs? Or maybe even a portion of an oak cask? Liquid alone does not cost that much.
The juice companies are making cash hand over fist more than anyone else

That, and the ability to perfectly customize my nic, PG/VG, and sweetness (and lack of diketones!), is EXACTLY why I'm getting very serious about trying to make all the juice I vape -- I use this calculator, which lets you put in costs of the various materials, and the first time I entered the actual $ that I had paid for my nic, PG/VG, and flavors, I just sat there with my mouth open for 5 mins, completely gabberflasted -- I thought I was getting a great deal with High Desert Vapes' 50% off sale, making a 30ml cost the same as a 15ml -- about $7, plus shipping. Then I tried making my own -- which turned out better than theirs, BTW, since it's not OPAQUE BLACK, and it's as sweet as I like -- theirs wasn't -- and that 30ml of ejuice now costs $1.22. Still working on the blueberry muffin, so I can bring $10/15ml down to a similar dollar or two/30ml.

Andria

BTW -- that cost above, $1.22, was when I had the flavoring from Wizlabs for $1.49/8ml -- now that I have a 30ml bottle of it for $3.99, the cost has gone even lower, to $1.10 for 30ml.

 

[vapero]

joking aside I think the biggest winners here are some hardware manufacturers
the original manufacturers who I think get the most are atmomixani (nemesis) and svoe mesto (kayfun) they are the most prolific mod makers with the biggest runs and longest times.
but they are definetly duarfed by chinese brands (joytech, kanger and aspire) and the cloners (ehpro, infinite, hcigar, etc) some are manufacturers some are resellers but still, no one produces their amount or has their facilities.

but I think the biggest of them are in the juice segment Hangsen and dekang

 

[MrStik]

Politicians from Tobacco lobbyists are the winners for sure.

 

[gel drops]

The REO, is made in the U.S. and they have been around for as long as I can remember,somebody please correct me if I'm wrong that was just a guess.
