What Bidi Vapor does

Bidi Vapor, LLC is a U.S.-based manufacturer and wholesale supplier of the BIDI Stick, a premium disposable electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS). Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, with a distribution center in Grant, Florida, the company operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of publicly traded Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: KAVL), which serves as the company's exclusive U.S. distributor. The BIDI Stick is a single-use vape pen featuring a 280 mAh UL-certified battery, 1.4 mL of premium SaltNic e-liquid at 6% Class A nicotine (60 mg/ml), an on-draw activation mechanism, a medical-grade absorption pad, and a recyclable aluminum body. The company holds ISO 9001, CGMP, and UL8139 certifications, and submitted Premarket Tobacco Product Applications (PMTAs) to the U.S. FDA for all 11 BIDI Stick products in September 2020.

The company monetizes through wholesale hardware sales of the BIDI Stick via authorized wholesalers and brick-and-mortar retailers (with GoPuff as the sole approved online DTC platform), and through an international licensing agreement signed in June 2022 with Philip Morris Products S.A., granting PMI rights to manufacture, promote, sell, and distribute BIDI Stick devices in 11 markets outside the U.S. (Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic), with planned expansion to the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Bidi Vapor serves adult smokers aged 21+ as a premium alternative to combustible cigarettes and positions itself around regulatory compliance, youth access prevention, and sustainability (via the BIDI Cares recycling program launched in April 2020). The company discontinued its own online direct-to-consumer sales in February 2021 in compliance with the PACT Act.
