Many people think it's illegal to operate vending machines selling vapes.

This idea has spread because of media and government actions against vaping, especially after the Juul craze.

But actually, in most cities and states in the USA, it's legal to sell vape products through vending machines. However, this misconception stops some people from starting their own vending business.

My company, Pod Plug, sells adult nightlife items in vending machines at bars. I've been doing this legally since 2019, with all the right permits and licenses.

• I have 100+ machines across 30 cities.

• I always pay our monthly sales taxes to the city and state.

• All my vending machines display our permits and licenses.

The media is loud, instead read the fine print.

The idea that selling vape products is always illegal comes from exaggerated news stories and not knowing local rules. I used to believe this too until I realized that local laws decide what's legal.

That's why I started my business in Texas, a state with fewer rules about vaping. All I simply have to do is get a sales and use tax permit (free) and an e-cigarette permit ($180/2 years).

Start by understanding the laws where you want to operate.

You can use tools like ChatGPT to quickly find out what the rules are in your area. Try this simple prompt:

"I want to put an adult nightlife vending machine that sells vapes in age-gated bars and nightclubs that are 21+ to enter. Is this legal in [enter your specific city]? If so, what type of permits, licensing, and compliance do I need to launch this type of business in [enter your specific city]?"

Forget about the hype and drama. Here's the simple truth:

You can run a vape vending machine business legally if you follow the local laws. Start by tuning out media noise and doing your homework.

Imagine a life where you're your own boss operating a unique vending machine company making 6 figures per year and creating the life you want to live with ultimate freedom.
