Revenue model

1. Hardware Sales (One-Time Purchase): Vessel generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of premium hardware products including vape pen batteries, dry herb pipes, cases, chargers, and accessories. Products are sold individually and in bundles with savings. No subscription or recurring revenue model is evident.
2. Wholesale / Retail Distribution: Vessel sells products in bulk to authorized retail partners (dispensaries, smoke shops) who resell to end consumers. Revenue from B2B wholesale orders represents a significant distribution channel alongside direct-to-consumer e-commerce.
3. Ambassador Program / Brand Advocacy: Vessel recruits ambassadors who receive free products and in exchange generate content and community engagement, serving as a low-cost marketing and brand-building mechanism that indirectly drives sales.
