Chinese vape makers dominate the German market but face strict regulatory crackdowns.Summary
Chinese vape manufacturers have monopolized the German market, but they are now facing a severe regulatory crackdown. German customs officers are aggressively inspecting booths at trade shows, specifically looking for vapes that violate the 2-milliliter tank limit, contain cartoon images, or lack tax stamps. This scrutiny is part of a broader EU plan to ban disposable vapes, which is expected to significantly impact sales for these manufacturers who have already been driven out of the Chinese market.
