Chicago customers face higher per-device pricing than other major markets due to Illinois’s wholesale vape tax. This drives some price-sensitive behavior in our Chicago market: higher multi-pack adoption, more subscribe-and-save sign-ups for the 10 percent recurring discount, and stronger preference for higher-puff devices (better per-puff cost math under the tax burden).

Popular Picks in the Chicago Market

Three picks that lead Chicago orders:

Geek Bar Pulse X 25000 and RAZ DC25000: High-puff flagship devices over-index in Chicago because Illinois’s vape tax math favors lower-frequency, higher-volume purchases.

Fume PRO 30K 3-pack: Chicago leads our Midwest region in multi-pack bundle purchases for the same per-device-savings reason.

Foger Switch Pro Kit (refillable): Chicago has the highest per-capita refillable-pod adoption in our delivery markets. Long-term cost savings under Illinois tax framework drive this.
