How should a retailer build a first smoke-shop supplies order?
A first smoke-shop supplies order should cover repeat-use essentials before novelty depth. Start with the categories customers routinely need alongside their main purchase: rolling papers and cones, lighters, grinders, 510 batteries and chargers, basic glass, storage and cleaning accessories. Compare products by selling unit, display quantity, material, dimensions and replacement cycle, because a low unit price can be misleading when one listing is a single item and another is a full tray. Salim Distro’s catalog pages are the primary source for its current pack sizes, inventory and product descriptions; those details change as warehouse stock moves. Brand or manufacturer documentation should control technical specifications for powered products such as batteries. Regulatory treatment also depends on the item and destination: tobacco and vapor rules should not be copied onto unrelated accessories without checking the governing definition. A practical opening order uses a small number of clear price points, then expands only after the retailer can see which formats turn in that location.
Vapes and pouches bring a customer through the door. Hardware is what makes the visit worth more than one item. A grinder, a pack of cones, a lighter and a scale ride along with almost every purchase, carry no excise tax in most states, sit outside every flavor directory, and never expire on the shelf. A smoke shop that stocks only what is regulated is leaving the easiest margin in the store on the table.
This is a smoke shop supplies wholesale guide for licensed retailers, built from the hardware and accessory listings in our Maine catalog: glass, grinders, rolling papers, silicone, scales, lighters, 510 batteries, fragrance and hookah charcoal. It covers what each category is for, which brands we stock, how each line is packed, and what a first hardware order looks like for a store that has been vape-only until now.
Key takeaways
- The catalog spans glass, fragrance, grinders, papers, silicone, scales, lighters, batteries, charcoal, and other smoke-shop hardware. These products can stay on the same order and invoice as your vapes and pouches.
- Hardware carries no vapor excise in most states and is not subject to any product directory, so it is the one part of the store a state rule change cannot empty overnight.
- The four categories that pay first are rolling papers, lighters, grinders and scales. They are cheap to stock, sell daily and rarely need a customer to ask for them.
- Almost every line is packed for retail: lighter trays of 48 or 50, grinder displays of 12, silicone displays of 10 or 20, RAW boxes of 24 or 32, fragrance displays of 20. You buy the display, not the loose piece.
- Butane ships ground only. Everything else ships with the rest of your order.

Why hardware is the margin you are not selling
A disposable vape is sold once, taxed once and replaced by the next model in six months. A grinder is bought once and the customer comes back for papers, cones, a lighter and a scale for years. Hardware does not sit in a state directory, does not change flavor rules, and in most states carries no excise line, so the wholesale price you pay is the cost you keep.
It also fixes the biggest weakness of a vape-only store: the customer who walks out with one item. Papers next to the register, a grinder display on the counter and a lighter tray at the till turn a single-item visit into a three-item one without a sales pitch. That is where the extra margin in a smoke shop actually comes from.
Every hardware category we stock
The listing counts below were refreshed from the catalog on 20 September 2026; category pages show the current published listings. Every listing shows its pack size, catalog availability and, for approved accounts, the wholesale price.
These categories make up the smoke shop supplies catalog; use each category page for the current published listings. The sections below cover what to take from each.
Rolling papers, cones and tips
RAW is the paper brand customers ask for by name, and we stock 23 RAW lines: Classic, Black and Organic Hemp papers in 1 1/4, Ethereal ultra-thin in 1 1/4 and King Size Slim, Connoisseur with tips, Supernatural 12 inch, Classic and Black cones in King Size and 1 1/4, Organic Hemp cones, Peacemaker large cones, pre-rolled tips in tins and packs, rolls in Single Wide and King Size Wide, pressed bud wraps, hemp wick, pipe cleaners and rolling machines in 79 mm and 110 mm.
Papers ship by the box of 24 booklets, cones by the box of 32 packs, tips by the six-tin case. A box of Classic 1 1/4 and a box of Classic cones are the two lines no smoke shop should be without. For a store that pre-rolls, the Get Lost electric cone filling machine fills cones by the batch. Browse the rolling papers category.
Grinders
Thirty-two grinder listings. The core is ZTC Smoke, in zinc alloy and aluminum, two-piece to four-stage, from a 50 mm pocket size to an 85 mm table grinder, in plain metal, glitter, ceramic print, skull, rainbow, Rasta, Sun and Moon and weed-leaf finishes. Most are sold by the display of 12 in a countertop cube, so one line item fills a shelf.
Above the display grinders sit three lines for the customer who wants better: the Poseidon Artifacts Barracuda electric grinder with a glass jar, child lock and USB-C charging, the Cloudious9 Tectonic9 with an automatic dispenser, and the C179 hand-crank grinder with a drawer in five colors. Browse the grinders category.
Glass, silicone and water pipes
Sixty-three glass and water pipe listings, in two tiers. Hillside Glass is the case glass: 12 inch 5 mm straights, 13 inch double perc straights, 14 inch double perc beakers, 16 inch beakers and straights with colored stems, a twisted beaker, flathead 12 inch perc beakers in six colors, iridescent twisted mini beakers in six colors, cone and cylinder rigs, and a small straight pipe. It sells one piece at a time and it is what fills the glass case.
ZTC Smoke is the volume tier: silicone water pipes in twenty-odd shapes and sizes including bottle, cactus, flamingo, pirate and sloth, silicone-and-glass hybrids by the display of 12, glass water pipes in World Cup, ball, Galaxy Kraken and premium designs, nectar straws in glass and silicone by the display of 12 or 24, and OG glass chillums by the 100-piece display. Silicone does not break in the box or on the shelf and carries the best margin in the category.
The silicone pipes category adds nineteen hand pipes, dugouts, dab straws and keychain pipes, most by the display of 10 or 20 or the jar of 25. Browse the wholesale glass category for the water pipes and rigs.
Scales, dab tools and containers
Seventeen listings. Digital pocket scales from ZTC Smoke in 100 g, 200 g and 500 g at 0.01 g and 500 g and 700 g at 0.1 g, plus branded Backwoods and Cookies folding-lid scales in 500 g and 700 g. The 500 g at 0.01 g is the one every store sells; stock it in both black and silver. Dab tools in silver, gold and decorative sets, and 5 ml and 6 ml wax containers by the jar of 40, 80 or 100. Browse the scales and dab tools category.
Lighters and butane
Lighters are the highest-turn item at any register, and the range now splits into two shelves that sell to different customers: cheap disposables by the tray, and refillable torches sold as novelty and impulse pieces.
On the disposable side we stock BIC Classic Maxi trays of 50 plus 3 bonus in assorted, RAW, skull and special-edition designs, BIC Mini Classic trays, Clipper Classic and Designer trays of 48, and Blink disposable butane lighter displays. Trays come and go quickly; check each product page for current catalog availability, confirmed before fulfillment.
The torch and novelty side is newer and is where the margin sits. Smokezilla brings the Dragon’s Breath torch as a single and a 6-count display, the High Powered torch 6-count display, Glow in the Dark cig-pack lighters by the 12-count, and the Zilla Torch dual flame. Torch Blue covers the Pivoting Dual torch as a 2-pack and a 12-count display, the Tactical Dual Turbo 12-count display, and a Voice Activated lighter as a single and a 6-count display. FYRE supplies the Gas Pump torch in black, red, green and yellow. The Serpent snake torch is the jumbo novelty piece for the counter.
For the refillable customer, Neon butane in 5X, 7X and 11X refinement ships by the case of 12 cans. Butane is ground shipping only. Browse the lighters and torches category.
510 batteries, cells and chargers
Eight listings that every dispensary-adjacent smoke shop needs. Twist 1100 mAh preheat batteries from Backwoods and Cookies by the 30-count display, the Pulsar Obi auto-draw battery by the 12-count display, the Hemper LIT battery in six variants, AWT and Samsung 30Q 18650 cells for mod customers, ZTC 510 USB chargers by the 50-count, and the Smyle Labs Robotjamin novelty battery. The seven Pulsar 510 devices, from the DL 2.0 Pro to the Delta 3-in-1, are covered in their own category. Browse the batteries and chargers category and the Pulsar category.
Fragrance, charcoal and electric hookah
Two categories a vape wholesaler does not usually carry. Forty-three Arabic-style fragrance sprays in 35 mL, sold by the display of 20, in oud, rose, amber, saffron, musk and gourmand profiles, plus a four-bottle discovery set. They sell at the register in c-stores and smoke shops alike and they do not compete with anything else on the shelf. Hookah charcoal from Amaren and Babel, coconut shell cubes and fingers in 1 kg boxes by the pack of 10, for the store with a hookah customer. Browse the fragrances category and the charcoal category.
The hookah side now goes past charcoal. The ShishaX VOLTA Black is a rechargeable smart electric heating device that replaces coal on a compatible setup. It runs OLED controls with app connectivity over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, takes a removable rechargeable battery over USB-C, and ships in its retail box with two ceramic chambers and 16 and 18 mm grommets. It is the highest-value single item in our hardware catalog and it is a different kind of sale from everything else on this page: one unit, a customer who has already committed to hookah, and a device they will ask questions about. Stock it as a counter anchor and a demo piece rather than by the display, and keep the charcoal beside it for the customers who are not ready to switch.
A first hardware order
This is a first order for a vape-only store adding hardware. It is small on purpose; every line below is a proven daily seller, and the second order can follow the store’s own turn.
That order fits one shelf and one counter, ships in the same box as your disposables and pouches, and covers the four hardware questions a customer asks most: papers, a lighter, a grinder and a scale.
Licensing and shipping rules
Hardware is sold to the same accounts as everything else: a licensed retailer with a state tobacco or vapor retail licence for the delivery address, verified before approval. Most states charge no vapor excise on papers, grinders, glass or lighters, and any state that does tax a hardware line shows it as an excise line in the cart before you pay.
One shipping rule applies. Butane ships ground only. Everything else ships with the rest of your order from our Portland, Maine warehouse. Our licence requirements guide covers what each state asks of a retailer.
