Vape Manufacturing

What Vape Manufacturing does

Vape Manufacturing (legal entity: Eco Vape Ltd) is a UK-based white label e-liquid manufacturer founded in 2018, headquartered in Alfreton, Derbyshire, and operating from a 65,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in nearby Somercotes. The company provides end-to-end OEM services for vape brands, covering custom flavour development by in-house mixologists, mixing, bottling, label design and printing, TPD/TRPR/MHRA compliance registration, and distribution. Its portfolio spans nic salts (including the newer Bar Salts line), freebase 10ml e-liquids, shortfills in 50ml, 80ml, and 100ml formats, nic shots, and sample packs, supported by a catalogue of over 800 registered flavours. Production technology includes what the company describes as the world's largest e-liquid filling line at 288,000 bottles per day and a dedicated 1 million units/month 10ml TPD-compliant filling line, with operations accredited to ISO 9001:2015 by Bureau Veritas. Recent capex of over £1.2 million has been deployed into the facility to expand capacity.

The business model is wholesale white-label manufacturing sold to vape brands of all sizes, from startup entrants to established players in the UK and EU markets. Revenue is generated through per-unit pricing on a pay-as-you-go basis, with ultra-low minimum order quantities of 24 units for bulk and 48 units for white-label branding, and price breaks at higher quantity tiers. The primary go-to-market is a self-serve e-commerce storefront requiring wholesale account registration, supplemented by industry trade show participation (notably the Vaper Expo UK), content marketing on the company's blog and social channels, and affiliation with Eco-Vape and the UK Vaping Industry Association. Customers are vape brands seeking to launch or expand e-liquid product lines without investing in their own manufacturing infrastructure or navigating complex UK and EU regulatory submissions independently.

Direct peers

• Riot Labs: UK-based e-liquid brand and contract manufacturer behind the Riot Squad range, producing nic salts, shortfills, and disposables. Comparable as a UK-headquartered e-liquid producer competing in the same category mix (nic salts, bar salts, shortfills).
• Vampire Vape: Established UK e-liquid brand with in-house manufacturing across nic salts, freebase, and shortfills. Comparable to Vape Manufacturing as a UK e-liquid producer operating in the same regulatory (TPD/TRPR) environment and serving overlapping wholesale and white label customers.
• Flavour Warehouse: UK-based e-liquid manufacturer and owner of the IVG brand, operating large-scale production and OEM/white label services for vape brands. Directly comparable as a UK-headquartered e-liquid manufacturer serving both proprietary and third-party vape brands.
• Dinner Lady: UK-originated e-liquid brand with contract manufacturing capability across nic salts, freebase, and disposables. Comparable as a UK e-liquid producer targeting similar brand and wholesale customers with overlapping product formats.
• Hangsen: Global e-liquid manufacturer with UK and Asia operations producing white label and branded e-liquids across nic salts, freebase, and shortfills. Comparable as a large-scale B2B e-liquid manufacturer targeting the same UK/EU vape brand customers.

Broad incumbents

• Philip Morris International: Global tobacco and nicotine incumbent selling heated tobacco (IQOS) and other vapour products. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose reduced-risk strategy and lobbying efforts shape the UK and EU vapour regulatory environment that Vape Manufacturing's white label customers depend on.
• British American Tobacco: Global tobacco incumbent owning the Vuse e-cigarette/vape brand. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the nicotine vapour category with overlapping end-products, though focused on branded closed-system devices and pods rather than white label e-liquid manufacturing.
• Imperial Brands: Global tobacco group operating the blu e-cigarette brand. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the regulated nicotine vapour space, competing for the same end-consumer demand though not as a contract e-liquid manufacturer.
• Altria: US tobacco incumbent with a stake in the NJOY e-vapour business. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the nicotine vapour category whose regulatory and lobbying activity directly shapes the operating environment for e-liquid manufacturers like Vape Manufacturing.
