Four steps to naming your vape business
This four-step process will help you name your vape business. In this example, I’m creating a name for a vape business that conveys the interesting and convenient nature of their products. Here’s each step I took in crafting these business names.
#1) Brainstorm your name ideas
Start by brainstorming what words could fit into your business name. In my name ideas, I used words like “Atomize”, “Ohm”, “Glassomizer” and “Flood”, you can see that while these words do portray aspects of vaping, they also draw the interest of potential customers. Your goal here is to create a list of words or names that come to mind when thinking about your business.
If you’re stuck on words to use, try our business name generator.
Here are my name ideas after brainstorming:
- Airflow Vape
- Boost Vape
- Cloudcluster Vape

- Sweet Spot Pens
- Volt Vapors
- Atomize Vape
- Feel The Ohm
- Tank Vape
- Spoils And Oils
- Vape Escape
- Clouds Of Bounty
- Gadget Vape
- Perfected Pens
- VigorVape
#2) Shortlist your ideas
Once you’ve developed a list of possible names, do an analysis of your ideas. Remove any names that could be hard to remember, spell or speak aloud. Keep names that are brandable, sound great, are memorable, and communicate your brand values, product, or service to your target audience.
Here’s a quick checklist you can run your ideas through to help shorten your list of names:
- Is the name simple and easy to remember?
- Is the name easy to read and say aloud?
- Is the name different from competitors?
- Does the name convey a relevant meaning?
- Does the name avoid overused words or cliches?
My Shortlist:
- Puff Pens
- Dragon Vape
- Airflow Vape
- Clouds Of Bounty
Removed Ideas:
- Boost Vape
- Cloudcluster Vape
- Flood Vape
- Glassomizer Vape

- Steep vape
- Sweet Spot Pens
- Volt Vapors
- Atomize Vape
- Feel The Ohm
- Tank Vape
- Spoils And Oils
- Vape Escape
- Gadget Vape
- Perfected Pens
- VigorVape
#3) Get some feedback
You’ll now have a list of 3-6 great vape business names and you can start to ask potential customers or people working in the industry for feedback (your target audience). Avoid feedback from family and friends, are more likely to praise all your ideas and they aren’t your customer.
Be sure to ask questions like:
- What first comes to mind when you first hear the name?
- How would you spell it?
With you’re customer feedback you can now ask yourself is the name still relevant? and did it represent your business how you intended?
My customer feedback:
Airflow Vape
This name conveys a sense that vape offers a more refreshing experience than other options.
Dragon Vape
This name is not only cool, it’s also a name that touches on vaping terminology.
Puff Pens
Vape devices often come in forms that make them look like pens.
Clouds Of Bounty
This is a name with great imagery that gives customers a sense of plenty.
#4) Check It’s available
At this point, it’s good to have at least three great vape business names on your list, in case any of your names are already taken. You can do a quick Business Name Search online to find out if you’re name is available within your country/state, also be sure to search if the name is also available for Trademark and Domain name Registration.
Competitor Name Analysis
To help you brainstorm potential business names, let’s take a look at three successful vape businesses and break down why and how they’ve chosen to name their business and why it works for them.
Juul is a leading vaping brand developed by PAX Labs. Ignoring the creative spelling, the name is pronounced as a jewel and may refer to the accessory-like quality of the Juul vaporizer.
Cookie King is a name that could seem a bit odd at first but there’s a story behind its selections. The company makes e-cig liquids that carry the taste of different cookies and sweet temptations.
Puff Monster is a name that’s a bit less literal. Puff Monster creates an immediate vision of vaping clouds and people who are fans of such products will get it immediately.
5 Tips for naming your vape business
The ideal business name should be simple, memorable, and convey a meaning all at the same time. Here are my 5 tips to keep in mind when developing your business names.
1. Do a Competitor Analysis
Doing a competitor analysis as your first step will save you a lot of time in the future, knowing what names to avoid and understanding why and how your competitor’s business name words for them will help you in forming your own business names. When analyzing competitors think about:
- What business or product values are they conveying in their business name? How does that work for them?
- Is there a trend in how these businesses are naming themselves? It’s best to avoid sounding like “just another one of those businesses”.
- Who does it best? Why does it work and how can I produce a better name?
2. Focus on Naming your Business not Describing it.
A typical pitfall most businesses run into is describing their business name too literally, using overused vaping terms like smoke, e-or cigarette. A more effective business name should convey to customers your businesses and product values at a deeper level. Try to name your business in a way that has a story behind it.
Let’s take for example a real vape business named “Eleaf”.
This company has a simple name, and it portrays a healthier, more natural option when compared to smoking.
3. How to make a more memorable name
Creating a memorable business name is the first step in getting into a customer’s mind and is also a task that’s easier said than done. Your business name should aim to stop a customer in their tracks and give extra thought to your product among your wave of competitors. Some tips to create a memorable name would be:
- Use rhythmic pronunciation or alliteration (Vigor Vape, Airflow Vape
- Try using a word that wouldn’t be relevant when out of context (Glassomizer Vape – a glassomizer is a specific part of certain kinds of vape pens)
- Keep it short and simple.
4. Try purchasing a Brandable business name
Brandable business names are names that are non-sensical but read and are pronounced well. They often use letter patterns of Vowel/Consonant/Vowel as these word structures are typically short, catchy and easy to say and remember. For example, some brandable vape business names could be:
- Porosa Vape
- Sumata Vape
- Verilix Vape
You can find a full list of Brandable business names at Domainify.com
5. Avoid combining words just to create a unique name.
Another mistake business owners typically make is creating bad word combinations when they find out that their business name idea is already taken. For example, John names his business Puff Vape and finds out it’s already taken. Because he’s already decided this is what he’ll name his business he tries to opt for similar-sounding names like PuffVvape, Vapuff, or VappePuff.
You can see how these ideas are a step backward as they are not catchy, easily pronounceable, or memorable. In these situations, we suggest starting from scratch and trying the tips we mentioned previously.
