Company Overview
VapeOWave was founded by two ex-smokers and vaping enthusiasts, with physical stores located in Centurion and Boksburg, South Africa. Established in 2015, our mission is to provide a safer alternative to traditional tobacco through vaping—and we back that by offering a range of high-quality hardware and DIY-friendly products. We provide DIY e‑liquid concentrates, manufactured from food-grade flavorings free from harmful diacetyl compounds, and rigorously tests all electronic devices to ensure safety and reliability
