What Vapen does

Vapen KY, LLC, doing business as Vapen CBD, is a privately held, founder/family-owned manufacturer and retailer of THC-free broad-spectrum and isolate CBD products, established in 2012 and headquartered in Fulton, Kentucky, with a second production facility in Wingo, Kentucky. The company operates a vertically integrated model, sourcing hemp from licensed Kentucky farms and producing its own extraction and finished goods in-house using a proprietary ethanol-based extraction method. Its product portfolio spans four core categories: CBD cartridges and all-in-one vapes ($9.99-$19.99), sublingual tinctures under the CBD ELEMENTS (500MG, $14.99) and CBD Power Booster (5000MG, $39.99) sub-brands, CBD gummies including a CBD:CBN sleep-support variant ($19.99-$24.99), and topical CBD lotions ($14.99).

The business generates revenue through three channels: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at vapencbd.com shipping to all 50 US states with free shipping over $100, phone-order direct sales, and a wholesale/reseller program that sells to retailers and smoke shops at 50-60% off retail with a $250 minimum order and free shipping. The wholesale program reaches 255+ physical retail locations accessible via a public store locator, and the company positions itself as "America's CBD Superstore" with the largest selection of CBD flavors and strains. All products are third-party lab tested for purity, contamination, adulteration, potency, and performance, with COA reports accessible via QR codes on packaging, and are backed by a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

Vapen serves two customer segments: individual CBD consumers seeking natural, THC-free wellness support for relaxation, stress, sleep, and pain management (primary), and wholesale/retail partners including smoke shops and wellness stores reselling premium CBD products at up to 50% margins (secondary). The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, no public listing, no subsidiaries, no patents or trademarks on record, no API/SDK surface, and minimal disclosed management beyond a CBD Wholesale Program Manager. Operating geographies are US-dominant with claimed but undocumented international reach.
