How to Start a Vape Shop in the Philippines

The vaping industry in the Philippines is growing rapidly, and now is a great time to consider starting your own vape shop. With the right planning and reliable partners, launching your business can be both exciting and profitable.

If you’re thinking about entering the vape industry, this guide will walk you through the key steps to get started.

1. Understand the Market

Before diving in, it’s important to research:

  • Current demand in your target area

  • Popular brands and products

  • Local competitors

  • Customer preferences (e.g., disposable vapes, pod systems, e-liquids)

Knowing your audience will help you offer the right mix of products and stand out from the competition.

2. Register Your Business

To operate legally, you’ll need to:

  • Register your business name with the DTI (for sole proprietorships) or SEC (for partnerships/corporations)

  • Secure a business permit from your local government

  • Register with BIR for tax purposes

Also, be aware of any updated government regulations related to the sale of vape products, including age restrictions and labeling requirements.

3. Find a Reliable Supplier

This is one of the most important steps. You’ll need a supplier who offers:

  • High-quality and authentic vape products

  • Competitive wholesale pricing

  • Consistent inventory and fast shipping

  • Customer service you can count on

At Vapers PH, we work with both retail and wholesale partners. If you're looking for a trusted source for disposable vapes, pod kits, and e-liquids — we’re here to help.

4. Choose Your Store Type: Online or Physical

Decide whether you want to:

  • Open a brick-and-mortar vape shop

  • Run an online store through platforms like Shopee, Lazada, or your own website

  • Or combine both for maximum reach

Each model has its own requirements and costs, so make sure to budget wisely and plan accordingly.

5. Market Your Business

Once you’re set up, you’ll need to build your brand and attract customers:

  • Create social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok)

  • Run local promotions and online ads

  • Offer bundle deals or loyalty programs

  • Focus on excellent customer service and fast delivery

Consistency is key in building a loyal customer base in the vape community.
