The Texas disposable vape market is now crowded with products claiming to be assembled in the USA. If such an immediate glut of products sounds too good to be true, this is because it probably is.

For Texas vape shop owners, it’s getting harder to know who you can actually trust—especially when regulators, wholesalers, and customers are all asking tougher questions.

Mi-Pod Wholesale Vets Our Products

For Texas vape shop owners, it’s getting harder to know who you can actually trust—especially when regulators, wholesalers, and customers are all asking tougher questions.

Mi-Pod Wholesale’s position is simple: If a product is promoted as USA-built, we take that claim seriously. We vet it by seeking chain of custody and import information. We stand behind the labeling and we only deal with reputable manufacturers. 

The reality is that dozens of US certified and regulated facilities building disposable vapes with the ability to manufacture hundreds of thousands of units did not appear overnight.

Mi-Pod genuine USA-built disposable vapes. The original USA-built disposable vape is Fifty Bar, who began to execute their plan to manufacture disposable vapes in US market for adult American vapor consumers years before the Texas vape registry law was passed. They are manufactured in Thousand Oaks, CA. Pod Salt uses UK e-liquids and are assembled in the USA.

The Fasta Alien 51K is filled in the US and the new Shot Caller disposable vape is based in North Carolina. Pod Salt uses UK premium e-liquids. The Pod Salt 40K is assembled in America, designed specifically for the preferences of the US market.

Mi-Pod Committed to Responsible Marketing

Your business depends on trust—trust in your products, your supply chain, and your partners. Mi-Pod shares that responsibility. As master distributor the top brands for 21+ adult nicotine consumers, we deal directly with manufacturers and other master distributors.

• Our product selection focuses on adult appealing flavors for US adult vapor consumers only (21+).
• We work with brands that prioritize quality, transparency, and compliance.
• We take “USA-built” claims seriously enough to question them, verify them, and reject what doesn’t add up.
• We abide by all relevant laws and regulations so that our partners are not exposed by unscrupulous and fly by night businesses.
• When you stock from Mi-Pod, you’re not just buying disposables—you’re partnering with a distributor that understands what’s at stake for brick-and-mortar retailers in Texas.

There Are Bad Actors in the Market

Not every company plays by the same rules. There are “fly-by-night” brands that use loose or misleading “USA-made” language.

If you’re buying from whoever has the lowest price or a fast-talking sales pitch, you’re taking on all the risk—product reliability, customer trust, and potential regulatory scrutiny.

Mi-Pod’s message to Texas shop owners: Know who you’re buying from, and know what you’re putting on your shelves. 

Mi-Pod disagrees vehemently with regulations that deny adult nicotine consumers access to the products they prefer, and oppose vape flavor bans that increase cigarette sales. But these are battles we will fight in the court room and state house. Not by slapping a made in the USA label on a Chinese made vape. 

Mi-Pod stands behind our Built in the USA Vapes

When we say we vet “built in USA” claims, we mean it. Mi-Pod only promotes USA-built disposables when we’re confident those claims are legitimate. For our partners, that means you can rely on the following lines as USA-built products.

These are not white-label mysteries or here-today, gone-tomorrow brands. They’re lines we’re willing to stand behind for our retail partners.
