On April 1, 2022, Alibaba Group issued a notice: According to the “Electronic Cigarette Management Measures” announced by the China State Tobacco Monopoly Administration on March 11, 2022, the “Notice on the Closure of the Electronic Cigarette Category on Alibaba International Website” and the “Control Rules for the Prohibition of Electronic Cigarette Sales on Alibaba International Website,” starting from May 1, 2022, the sale of electronic cigarettes (including, but not limited to, e-cigarettes, vapes, and products sold in combination with vapes) and their accessories (including, but not limited to, e-cigarette related atomizers, sticks, pens, mouthpieces, batteries for e-cigarettes, e-cigarette liquid fillers, e-cigarette packaging, and other e-cigarette related products), atomizers and nicotine for e-cigarettes and other related products. It is believed that within the next few days, Global Sources, Made in China, and DHgate.com will also issue notices one after another to stop all sales of e-cigarette related products on their platforms.
During the epidemic, most e-cigarette companies still rely on online promotion, except for many companies that sent employees to exhibit and promote abroad. Now that the platform is closed, how do we find vape manufacturers in China?
1 Online Channel
A Google
You can enter vape manufacturer /vape factory /vape supplier in China on the Google search bar. Then it will show many suppliers on it.
B Social Media
Some China suppliers do Online Marketing via SNS platforms, like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You can also find some suppliers there. Not like Alibaba or other B2B platforms, there are not many China suppliers, But also vape wholesales, vape distributors, and retails worldwide. It will take more time for you to choose from.
C Linkedin
Many Chinese e-cigarette companies have started to promote their products on Linking. Many salespeople will post their products on this platform, so you can use Linkedin to expand your network and find relevant e-cigarette manufacturers.
2 Offline Channel
A. Exhibition
Because of China’s e-cigarette policy and regulations, from 2022 onwards, China will not allow e-cigarette products to be displayed at exhibitions in China. Strong manufacturers will participate in the local e-cigarette exhibition in each country. Still, the show has specific time and place restrictions, unlike the online channel, so timely and convenient, and not all manufacturers will participate.
B Ground Promotion
More and more e-cigarette factories will send salespeople stationed in the local market to visit and promote. Receiving these salesmen from China is also one of the ways to find suppliers.
