10 years on the inside.
Now on your side.
BANVape was founded by someone who spent a decade in the vaping industry — selling products, working with manufacturers, and watching from the inside as the industry evolved from a smoking cessation tool into something much more concerning.
We're not a government organization. We're not a pharmaceutical company. We're former insiders who saw how the sausage gets made and decided the public deserves to know too.
Our mission is simple: give people the unfiltered truth about vaping, provide honest reviews of products that actually help people quit, and build the resource we wish existed when we started questioning what we were selling.
The journey to BANVape
Entered the Vape Industry
Started in the vaping business believing it was a healthier alternative to smoking. The industry was young, growing fast, and felt genuinely positive.
Saw the Cracks
Watched as companies shifted focus from helping smokers switch to acquiring brand-new nicotine users. Marketing got younger. Flavors got sweeter. Something changed.
The EVALI Crisis
The vaping illness outbreak was a turning point. Saw the industry scramble to protect profits instead of customers. Started questioning everything.
Couldn't Stay Silent
After years of internal conflict, started documenting everything I'd learned — the ingredients, the marketing tactics, the targeting of young people.
Launched BANVape
Turned a decade of insider knowledge into a resource to help people understand what they're inhaling — and quit for good.
