About

A heritage name, back as a guide.

Vapage launched in 2010 when premium vaping was still a new category. The shop is gone; the eye for gear isn't. Today Vapage is a curated, affiliate-supported guide for adult vapers — written by people who know the difference between a coil that lasts and one that doesn't.

Who we are

Vapage is run by a small team that has been around vaping since the early 2010s — the era of mechanical mods, hand-wrapped coils, and shops that smelled like custard and tobacco at the same time. We've seen brands come and go, regulations tighten and re-tighten, and disposables go from novelty to dominant to (now) losing ground again. We've kept buying gear the entire time.

That's the eye we bring to the catalog. We don't write reviews from spec sheets. We pick devices we'd hand to a friend.

Editorial policy

Every product page on Vapage is written by a human. No spun reviews, no scraped descriptions, no generic "10 best" lists optimized for search and nothing else. When a product earns its spot in the catalog, that's because someone on the team has used it.

  • No paid placements. A brand cannot pay us to feature their product or rank it higher. Ever.
  • Affiliate links are disclosed. See our disclosure.
  • We update. Prices, stock, and merchant approvals change. So do our recommendations.
  • No health claims. Nicotine is addictive. Vapage is not a smoking-cessation resource.

How we test

For hardware: a week of real use, plus one stress event — drained battery, drop from desk height, a charge on a cheap brick, a session in cold weather. For e-liquid: blind taste tests on rotating coils and a coil-life check at the manufacturer's recommended wattage. For dry herb: temperature accuracy, draw resistance, and load size against spec. Hemp-derived products: we check the COA before we recommend, every time.

Who we link to

Vapage uses Shopify Collabs to track affiliate sales, plus direct merchant programs where Collabs isn't available. We link to merchants we have personally ordered from. If a merchant ships counterfeits, ghosts customer support, or misrepresents nicotine or cannabinoid content, we drop them. If a brand offers free product in exchange for coverage, we keep the product, write what we actually think, and disclose how we got it.

What this site won't cover

If you are under 21, please leave. Vapage is not for you. We don't cover unregulated grey-market disposables, mystery-imported nicotine concentrate, or anything sold without ingredient labels and a verifiable supply chain. We won't recommend products we wouldn't put in our own kits.
