The Drip Club

What The Drip Club does

The Drip Club is a United States-based, private e-commerce retailer that sold e-liquid (vape) products direct-to-consumer through its website thedripclub.com, positioning on selection depth and price competitiveness ("lowest prices online, guaranteed"). The company was founded in 2013 by Kim Papp-Raffen, who serves as founder and managing director, and is headquartered in Monterey Park, California, with a headcount band of 11–50 employees.

The business model is online retail of third-party-manufactured e-liquids; the firm does not disclose proprietary product lines, manufacturing capability, or private-label brands in the available data, and no technology stack, platform architecture, or integrations are documented. The sole disclosed capital event is a 2016 funding round attributed to TeraVault Ventures with a $0 recorded amount, and no subsequent funding, M&A, or partnership activity is recorded.

The company's primary commercial channel, thedripclub.com, is currently suspended by domain registrar NameBright pending registrant contact-information verification, and the registrar indicates reactivation typically requires 24–48 hours following validation. No alternative sales channels, current operating status, or recent corporate actions are documented in the source data, leaving the present state of the business materially uncertain.
