Shenzhen, a city beside Hong Kong, now becomes a great place for Hong Kong citizens to try and buy vapes, because the vape shops in Hong Kong are quite hard to find while Shenzhen produces most vapes in the world and it’s a legal and free place to buy and sells vapes. More and more Hong Kong residents are asking about how to buy vapes in Shenzhen, and where to find the best offline vape store in Shenzhen.
The author who lives in Shenzhen, vapes a lot and even sells some vapes himself, is totally qualified to answer above questions from Hong Kong friends.

In November 2019, about 1 month ago, it’s hard to find vapes in offline convenience stores, maybe 1 in 10 shops. Now 1 month later in December, even the 80-year-old grandma shopkeeper who knows nothing about vapes and doesn‘t welcome new things, starts selling them in Shenzhen now. The vape brand offline expansion speed is fast and furious. How hard-working these China vape brands are!
After thorough observation and investigation, we found most vapes in small or chain convenience stores like 7 Seven, Meiyijia and Chongye Aimin, etc, are disposable, one-off and pod type. Their prices are between 39 yuan to 49 yuan, which are affordable to most traditional smokers. Meanwhile, according to our real test, no matter throat hit, nicotine strength or flavor, those disposable’ vaping experience is not inferior to any pod system or mod vape. Those disposable vapes are foolproof, convenient and instant, which is user-friendly and of high quality. What’s more, most stores have over 10 flavors in stock, great for choosing the one you like. Highly recommended to Hong Kong friends.
Convenience shops in Shenzhen are almost everywhere. Choose a few randomly and you’ll see.
The offline shop experience is essential to many novel vapers, and they only buy after they try. That’s reasonable and rational.
However, it won’t be a wise move if you keep buying from the offline stores because offline vape brand official shops often have a 10% higher price compared to buying from the brand agents and dealers, because brands have to pay the extremely high shopping mall entrance fee, the rent and staff wage.
When you want a better price experience with the same vape, contact VAPE.HK, please. We have lots of agents providing the authentic products you need at a lower price.
The share price of China Tobacco Hong Kong has soared more than 300% since listing
Public information shows that China Tobacco Hong Kong is the designated overseas platform for China Tobacco International to be responsible for capital market operation and international business development, while China Tobacco International is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Tobacco Corporation, responsible for the management and operation of China Tobacco Corporation’s international business, and China Tobacco Corporation (CNTC) group is the only one in China to engage in tobacco monopoly products according to the national tobacco monopoly system Entities engaged in production, sales and import and export business.
And China Tobacco is the most profitable company in China.
In 2018, China Tobacco achieved a total tax profit of 1155.62 billion yuan, almost 19 times that of Alibaba, 15 times that of Tencent and 4 times that of ICBC in the same period. Even in the world, it’s hard for any company to catch up. After all, Apple, the iPhone manufacturer everyone loves to use, has only a third of the profits of China tobacco.
China Tobacco Hong Kong and China Tobacco are in the same line, which is the grandson of the former. China Tobacco International holds shares of China Tobacco Hong Kong through Tianli international, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China tobacco. On August 16, Tianli international changed its name to China Tobacco International Group Co., Ltd., but it did not involve any change in the equity ratio. The controlling shareholder still holds 72.29% of the equity of China Tobacco Hong Kong (after the implementation of the over allotment equity).
On June 12 this year, China Tobacco Hong Kong was listed on the main board of the Hong Kong stock exchange, becoming the “first tobacco stock” of Hong Kong stock market. As of September 30, the share price closed at HK $20.0, more than 300% higher than the issue price of HK $4.88, and even reached 484% at the peak, becoming the new stock with the highest increase in the first half of Hong Kong market. As of today’s close, the share price has soared 307.79% in the past five months since its listing.
It is worth noting that, according to the prospectus, as of the end of 2018, China Tobacco Hong Kong had only 28 employees in Hong Kong, including 5 senior managers. The total cost of employees is about 25.914 million Hong Kong dollars, and the average annual salary is nearly one million Hong Kong dollars. In terms of operating revenue of HK $7.033 billion, the per capita operating revenue is more than HK $250 million.
On August 26, China Tobacco Hong Kong announced its first mid-term results after listing. In the first half of the year, its revenue decreased by 2.9% to HK $3.931 billion year on year; its gross profit decreased by 24.12% to HK $185 million year on year; its profit attributable to equity holders decreased by 29.6% to HK $130 million.
On September 20, Wal Mart announced that all stores in the United States would stop selling e-cigarettes. The EU also promised to complete the scientific review of e-cigarettes by 2021, providing a new basis for updating the current measures. India has taken a tougher approach, with the government saying it will issue a law banning the production, import and export, sales and advertising of e-cigarettes.
At present, electronic cigarettes have been banned in Japan, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, Thailand, Brazil and other countries or regions. China is the place of invention and main production of e-cigarettes. More than 90% of the world’s e-cigarettes are produced in China, but China’s regulation of e-cigarettes is still blank.

You may ask why so many Hong Kong vape shops closed, here is one reason but all the reasons:
Electronic cigarette ban and Sino-US trade war bankrupt Hong Kong’s vape transit industry
You need to ask the local shop for more details when you’re in Hong Kong.
On its first day listing of China Tobacco Hong Kong, the opening price of this stock rose about 2%, and was way up and the rise once peaked at over 19%, and finally closed at HK$535, rising 9.63%, with a turnover of HK$1.088 billion and the latest total market value of HK$3.567 billion.
What’s more, this achievement was accomplished under the pressure of a 1.73% drop in the Hang Seng Index.
Futures Securities’s dark market data last night showed that China Tobacco Hong Kong closed at HK$5.2 and ended at HK$4.99, up 2.25% from HK$4.88, earning HK$110 per transaction. At today’s closing price, every transaction will earn HK$470.
Industry analysts believe that relying on more than 300 million smokers in the completely monopolistic business, China Tobacco has a strong bargaining power on the upstream and downstream supply chains, so that China Tobacco Hong Kong has an obvious and strong competitive advantage.
The prospectus shows that China Tobacco Hong Kong is the designated overseas platform for China Tobacco International in charge of capital operation and international business development. China Tobacco International is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Tobacco International. It undertakes the management and operation of China Tobacco International Company by organizing trade in tobacco products, supervising the operation of overseas subsidiaries and overseas investment of China Tobacco International Company.
China Tobacco is the only entity in China that engages in the production, sale and import and export of monopoly tobacco products according to the national tobacco monopoly system.
“We are the sole operating entity in the business we are currently engaged in,” China Tobacco Hong Kong denoted when talking about its “competitive advantage” in its prospectus. “We have the strong bargaining power to suppliers, customers and sufficient cash flow.”
According to Li Yunyi, an international analyst at Anxin, China has the largest number of smokers in the world, with 306 million people in 2018 and 144.5 billion yuan in cigarette sales, accounting for 44.6% of global cigarette consumption. With the increasing disposable income of residents, the consumption of high-end tobacco products in China is increasing, which promotes the upgrading of consumption of tobacco products and optimizes the structure of the tobacco market.
Zhongtai International said that only China Tobacco Monopoly Corporation and its affiliated companies are currently eligible to monopolize the tobacco trade in China under the restrictions of the national tobacco monopoly system. Although tobacco control campaigns have been strengthened around the world in recent years, the number of smokers is huge and demand for tabacco is rigid. What’s more, the monopoly position of China Tobacco is stable, so there is no market competition in the short term.
At present, China Tobacco Hong Kong enjoys the exclusive right to operate in four major businesses: import of tobacco products, export of tobacco products, export of cigarettes and export of new tobacco products including vapes. Although similar to the nature of the business of controlling shareholders, the business of the company still has monopoly attributes because of the separation of geographical location, .
The prospectus shows that from 2016 to 2018, China Tobacco’s revenue in Hong Kong was HK$6.610 billion, HK$7.807 billion and HK$7.033 billion respectively, while net profit in the past three years was HK$338 million, HK$348 million and HK$262 million respectively.
Although China Tobacco Hong Kong’s total revenue and net profit declined in 2018, it was disclosed that this was not due to operational problems. Among them, the decline in income is caused by the accounting treatment of related items in the import and export business of tobacco products; and the decline in net profit is due to the lower limit of cigarette price stipulated in document 250, which came into effect in 2018, resulting in the reduction of the profit margin of the cigarette export business of the company.
Analysts believe that in the future, China Tobacco Hong Kong with no competitor will usher in several times of good profits in the industry, and its performance recovery is very likely.
Surprisingly, China Tobacco Hong Kong, which had an annual income of 7.033 billion and a net profit of HK$262 million last year, had only 28 employees in Hong Kong.
According to the prospectus, by the end of 2018, China Tobacco Hong Kong had only 28 employees in Hong Kong, China, including 5 senior managers, 12 business operators, 3 human resources, 1 securities and investor relationship, 4 financials, 1 compliance and risk management, and 2 strategic and investment employees.
The Vape Shop Hong Kong is the best well-know vape shop in Hong Kong. This shop sells all kinds of vape products and e-liquids at a reasonable price.
Here are the main product categories from the Vape Shop Hong Kong:
The author counted all the products from this shop, and the total product number of Vape Shop Hong Kong is around 500.
The main products it sells are e liquids, over 300 kinds of e-liquids are available there. The best-sellers are between 100 HKD – 200 HKD, that is, 10 USD – 25 USD per product.
And the second hot-selling category is the starter kits with over 50 kinds of vape device products for choices. The best-sellers are between 300 HKD – 400 HKD, that is, 40 USD – 50 USD per product.
After calculation, you’ll need to spend around 50 USD – 75 USD to enjoy a full vaping experience.
When asked about the Relx, this shop replied, “Hong Kong has made all nicotine eliquid illegal so any products containing nicotine (e.g. Juul Pods, Relx Pods, etc.) are allowed here so we’re unable to sell them.
We do have quite a lot of refillable pod vapes available though if you want to check them out on our page on our website.”
