Does Kenya manufacture vapes?

In Africa on only two countries have foot in the manufacture of vapes and vaping products. These are South Africa and Zimbabwe. In South Africa a company known as Vape Africa has been producing e-liquids since 2012 although it does import hardware and other accessories for the same. In Zimbabwe, the government last year announced to set up a large plant for vape production in line to add value to their tobacco and those of neighboring countries.

Kenya on the other hand does not have a single company that manufacture vapes. Despite this fact, Kenya has vapes through importation from leading vape manufactures in places like China, United Kingdom and Malaysia. This makes it a global market for many varieties of vapes like disposable vapes, refillable vapes, e-liquids, Nicotine shots and vape accessories.

Nairobi being Kenya’s capital city has the most vape shops in Kenya that import vapes. Particularly, Vape shops in Nairobi serve nearly the whole country as they do vape deliveries after buying online. The advantage of online vape stores is that it is easy to access their platforms thus a customer don’t need to travel miles to buy a vape. They only need to do an online shopping and pay for vape on delivery if they are within Nairobi while those far away pay prior their vape are sent as parcels. In all these you get same day vape delivery in a hassle-free experience.

Disposable vapes are the common vapes found in Kenya or rather imported to Kenya although the market for refillable vapes is rising gradually. These disposable vapes are imported from reputable vape brands such as Elfbar, that manufacture vapes like Elfbar Ice King 30000 puffs, Elfbar AF5000, Elfbar BC10000, Elfbar BC18000, Elfbar EW9000 and more, Tugboat that manufactures vapes such as Tugboat T12000, Tugboat Ultra 6000 Puffs, Tugboat Super 12000 puffs etc, Vapeman e.g Solo X, Vapengin Jupiter, KK Energy (ECK), Lost Mary, Yuoto, Happy Bar and many more.

There are also refillable vapes in Kenya with brands like Vaporesso, Uwell Caliburn, Voopoo, Smok IPX and many more. They are more expensive buying at the first as compared to disposable vapes. However, they are cheaper in the long run because vapers only need to refill them with their favorite e-liquid flavors. They are more sophisticated and mostly are bought by seasoned vapers who are able to customize them to different modes like turbo and normal to best suit their preference. Vape accessories, Nicotine salts and e-liquids available in Kenyan market are all imported. They are in many varieties that best suit vape users in Kenya.
