VAPOTROTTER

What VAPOTROTTER does

VAPOTROTTER, operating as SARL VAPOTROTTER and trade-styled "Laboratoire VAPOTROTTER," is a small French e-liquid manufacturer founded in 2013 and headquartered in Saint-André de Cubzac, Gironde, with operations across the Léognan area in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The company formulates and sells premium French-made e-liquids across four product lines: CRÉATIV'VAPE (15 ready-to-vape 10ml flavors in a 70/30 MPGV/VG ratio), MIX&VAPE (a DIY concept with roughly 100 concentrated flavors sold as 8ml base plus 2ml aroma kits in 70/30, 50/50 or 20/80 ratios), FIFTY VAPE and VAPE SUB' (50ml large-format liquids in 50/50 ratio, with or without nicotine), supplemented by replacement coils for third-party hardware and digital gift cards. All formulations are explicitly made without sucralose, alcohol, colorants, preservatives or water, and are laboratory-tested for compliance with the European Tobacco Products Directive (TPD).

The business is run by co-gérants Julien LARRIEU and Auriana PUECH with a total headcount of 5 employees and a share capital of €1,500, indicating a tightly founder-operated SARL. Revenue is generated entirely through direct-to-consumer sales: one e-commerce storefront (eliquidevapotter.com) plus 6 physical boutiques in the Gironde department, with delivery across France Métropolitaine and DOM-TOM via Colissimo and Lettre Suivie, and payments processed by Payline by Monext. Pricing is unit-based and budget-oriented, with Créativ'Vape and Mix&Vape kits at €5.90 per 10ml, Fifty Vape at €16.90-€18.90 per 50ml, replacement coils at €7.90-€13.90, and free delivery above €24.50; bulk packs (6/10/12/20/25 bottles) and gift cards in €10-€200 denominations support higher basket sizes. The target customer base is exclusively adult consumers, segmented across adult smokers transitioning from tobacco, experienced DIY vapers seeking customization, and beginner vapers, with no B2B or wholesale channel disclosed.

Direct peers

• Flavour Power: French e-liquid manufacturer with a large catalog of concentrated flavors and DIY bases. Comparable to Vapotrotter's DIY-oriented MIX&VAPE range in product format and target customer (experienced home-mix vapers).
• Le Petit Vapoteur: Largest French vape retailer and e-liquid distributor, operating both a major e-commerce platform and numerous physical boutiques across France. Highly comparable to Vapotrotter's hybrid DTC-plus-retail model, though at substantially larger scale.
• Liquideo: French e-liquid brand owned by Republic Technologies, offering a broad portfolio of flavored e-liquids and DIY ranges. Comparable premium French-made positioning and product range breadth, though backed by a larger corporate parent.
• Alfaliquid (Gaïatrand): One of the largest French e-liquid manufacturers, producing a wide range of flavors under multiple brands including Bordo2. Directly comparable as a French-made e-liquid producer targeting mass-market consumers with TPD-compliant products.
• Cirkus (Cirkus Vape): French e-liquid brand offering flavored e-liquids across multiple ranges. Comparable as a French-market e-liquid brand competing in similar flavor categories and TPD-compliant formats.
• Savourea: French e-liquid manufacturer offering a wide variety of flavors and DIY bases. Comparable as a French-made e-liquid brand targeting both ready-to-vape and DIY customer segments, similar to Vapotrotter's MIX&VAPE positioning.
• VDLV (Vincent Dans Les Vapes): French premium e-liquid manufacturer based in Nouvelle-Aquitaine with strong emphasis on quality, traceability, and natural ingredients. Closely comparable to Vapotrotter on French-manufacturing heritage, ingredient-conscious formulation, and regional identity.

Broad incumbents

• Vaporesso: Global vape hardware brand whose GTX coils Vapotrotter sells alongside its own e-liquids. Comparable as a vape category incumbent operating at much larger scale across the same French retail and online channels.
• Aspire: Major global vape hardware manufacturer whose coils Vapotrotter resells. Comparable as a participant in the broader French vape ecosystem, though Aspire operates as a hardware specialist at global scale rather than a regional e-liquid manufacturer.
• Geekvape: Large global vape hardware manufacturer whose B-Series and Z-Series coils Vapotrotter stocks. Comparable as an established vape category incumbent serving the same French consumer base.
