With Chinese-made disposables facing sweeping bans and seizure at U.S. customs, the vape industry is entering a new era. For brands relying on Chinese supply chains, it's a wake-up call. But for those ready to pivot, it’s a massive opportunity.
Instead of fighting customs seizures and regulation changes, why not bring part of the production in-house—and take back control?
🚫 The Problem: China Is No Longer a Reliable Source
- Blocked at the Border: In 2024 alone, over $136 million worth of illegal Chinese vapes were seized by the FDA and Customs.
- Crackdowns on Imports: The U.S. has banned e-cigarettes made in or routed through “foreign adversary” countries like China.
- Customs Mislabeling Risks: Devices falsely labeled as toys or clothes are being flagged and confiscated, putting businesses at risk.
✅ The Smart Solution: Indonesia + U.S. = Legal, Local Vape Supply
With a hybrid production model, you can now source your vape hardware legally from Indonesia, receive e-liquid and machinery via sea freight, and handle filling and packaging yourself in the U.S.. All without violating any import regulations.
💡 Here’s How It Works:
1. Devices Made in Indonesia
Smart Vape Factory in Batam produces fully compliant, non-Chinese vaping hardware. No China-sourced components = no risk of seizure.
2. E-liquid Supplied Separately
High-quality e-liquid can be prepared in China and shipped legally to the U.S.—or you can source your own. You're in full control.
3. Fill & Pack in the U.S.
We send you an easy-to-use filling machine and packaging tools for around $1,000 total. With just 2–3 workers and a garage, you can fill 20,000 devices in 2 days.
4. Full Training & Support
We provide step-by-step guides, video tutorials, and even offer to fly in engineers for setup and training if needed.
