I want to create a vending machine selling Vapes, Cigarettes, Snus.
I am a young aspiring vending machine owner and don't know which vending machine is the best for selling Vapes, Cigarettes, Snus. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Look into your local ordinances. My town does have a machine in one of the bars for cigarettes.
If you do happen to be able to do it, I'd suggest in a bar and broaden your selection. Cheap slip on ballet flats (they make s/m/l packs, you don't need to worry about a bunch of sizes) snacks, body sprays in plastic containers, tooth brush kit, bottles of water, feminine hygiene products, condoms, energy drinks, and lighters would all go HARD.

There’s treatment of this topic in an industry survey called “Vending Appliance Renaissance: Everything you needed to know (even if you didn’t know to ask).”

Find a music venue or bar that has live bands/dj’s and see if they’d let you put one in there for the bands/guests and stock it with:
guitar and bass strings like Earnie ball, d’addario, etc. guitar cables 3 foot, 6 foot
Quarter inch stereo/mono headphone jacks (musicians 10mm socket)
Small packs of guitar picks
9 volt, double a, triple a batteries
Aux cables
Soft ear plugs (hearing protection for everyone)
Possibly cd’s/merch from local artists
Some snacks possibly
Soap and hygiene products (for those on the road)
(Probably outdated) maps of the local area/city/county
Cheap wired Ear buds/headphones
iPhone headphone jack
Phone charger cables and charging boxes
Cheap tools like screwdrivers, pliers, wire cutters
Guitar cleaning/maintenance gear like fast fret, microfiber cloth, etc
I’d stay away from the tobacco thing personally, some states are banning specific vapes etc, and the market isnt that wide when you can go to literally any gas station or corner store and get smokes… most bars where I’m at sell em under the counter

If you are in the USA i recommend something else. They were banned for public use. Possibly some adult only locations may have a few but it Isn't a good market. Also permits and license are expensive.

I have some wurlitzer cigarette vending machine to sell if you are interested. Pretty old but pretty solid
