Buying Bulk Vapes: How to Find Deals That Are Actually Legit
The best way to save money on most products is by buying them in bulk, and that’s as true of vapes as it is with most other types of products. The only difficulty is finding a deal on bulk vapes that’s actually legit. You’re not actually saving money if you don’t get what you ordered or don’t get anything at all. The aphorism “If it sounds too good to be true…” definitely applies here.
So, how do you find a deal on bulk vapes that’s actually legit? You just need to do a few simple things before you buy. We’ll walk you through it.
Don’t Buy Vapes from Informal Sources
If you’re active on social media vaping communities, you may have seen offers for bulk vapes on sources like WhatsApp. Don’t buy vapes through these types of sources. If anyone other than an actual vape shop offers to sell vapes, there’s a very good chance that the devices are fake.
Fake vapes are much more prevalent than you might think, and there are plenty of reasons why you absolutely don’t want to buy one. The biggest reason, though, is that a counterfeit device could potentially be dangerous because you have no way of knowing what’s in it.
Check the Website Thoroughly
Suppose you’ve found a good deal for bulk vapes on an actual vape shop’s website. The next step is to examine the site thoroughly. Does it have clear shipping and return policies? Is the vape shop’s contact information easy to find? Just about anyone can set up an e-commerce site with little effort. You’re looking for overall professionalism and clear signals that you’re dealing with a legitimate business. If you don’t feel comfortable, don’t buy.
Confirm Product Authenticity
Even if you’re sure that you’re buying from a real vape shop, you still want to do everything possible to confirm that the products offered are actually authentic. Fake vapes aren’t being produced by the handful – they’re actually churned out by the millions.
Fake vapes aren’t just bad because you don’t know what’s in them. They could have substandard batteries or other components. The flavors won’t be the same as what you’re used to tasting. A fake vape could be underfilled, or the nicotine strength could be misreported. No matter what, you definitely want to avoid buying a counterfeit device.
Avoiding fake devices when you buy bulk vapes at a vape shop isn’t particularly difficult. You just need to confirm that the seller gets its vapes directly from official sources. An official source can be the original manufacturer, or it could be a distributor or shipping partner that works with the manufacturer. As long as the shop gets its products through the official supply chain, you should have nothing to worry about.
Understand How the Deal Works
If you’ve found a deal on bulk vapes that looks good, you should study the deal and understand why the prices are what they are and why you’re saving money. As you’re probably expecting, you usually need to buy a fairly large quantity of vapes for the lowest possible price. A bulk package usually includes about 10 vapes, although smaller lots with less savings may also be available.
When vapes are sold on a bulk or wholesale basis, they’re usually sold in “bricks.” A brick is a retail package consisting of five vapes with identical flavors. To get a bulk deal, you may need to buy one or more bricks. That means you can’t mix and match flavors.
In other cases, you may be allowed to select each flavor in your bulk package but will need to buy several of the same device. This is the type of deal that you’ll want to look for if you enjoy trying lots of different flavors or switching flavors throughout the day.
Understand the Deal’s Requirements
Before you can take advantage of a deal on bulk vapes, you need to make sure the deal actually applies to you. In most cases, vape shops will state any requirements up front and make them very easy to find. If you’re dealing with a website that sells to consumers, you simply need to be an adult with a valid ID. If the site requires you to provide a tax number or resale license, on the other hand, it’s a wholesaler and not a direct-to-consumer business. In that case, you’ll need to find a different vape shop. Many direct-to-consumer vape shops actually do have “Wholesale” in their names, but checking the purchase requirements makes it easy to figure out what type of business you’re dealing with.
Confirm You’re Actually Saving Money
Before you complete your bulk vape purchase, you’ll want to do a final price check to confirm that you’re actually saving money. To do that, you’ll first want to check the site against other vape shops and make sure that the price per vape is truly lower if you buy in bulk. In addition, you’ll also want to check for any hidden fees. Hopefully, the site that you’ve found either states its shipping and handling charges up front or waives the shipping fees for orders above a certain minimum amount. You don’t want to make it all the way to the checkout page only to find that you’re not actually saving money because the site makes up the difference with a huge handling charge.
Avoid Membership Fees and Auto-Subscriptions
Unless you’re very familiar with your personal patterns and know exactly how many vapes you use per month, we suggest avoiding any vape shop that either charges a monthly membership fee or requires you to sign up for automatic shipments in order to enjoy the best savings. Automatic subscriptions can be notoriously difficult to cancel, and you don’t want to be charged for a vape delivery that you don’t actually need. Monthly memberships can also be hard to cancel, and the fee will eat into your savings. The ideal bulk deal on vapes is always one that lets you buy when you want and allows you to save more by buying more.
