WHO WE ARE

WHERE THE LAB MEETS THE FIELD

VM Botanix is a modern botanical company working at the point where plant science and product design meet. We develop, test and refine our own formulations rather than relabelling someone else’s and calling it a brand.
What separates us is restraint. Fewer products, made properly, with ingredient decisions we can explain in plain language and packaging we’re not embarrassed to leave out on a counter.

PROPERLY.
THE STORY

THE VM STANDS FOR SOMETHING

In 2012 we launched the Vaping Monkey brand. It found its people, built a name during its era, and ran until we closed that chapter in 2018.

The years after were spent watching the category grow up and working out what we’d do differently. The answer was never a relaunch. It was a different company in a totally different industry, with the same instincts — sharper formulations, real design, and standards the original era never had.

The VM stayed. Everything else moved forward.

VAPING MONKEY E-LIQUID LAUNCHES

An original in its category, built from scratch in Southern California.

THE CHAPTER CLOSES
We stopped rather than coast on a name that had stopped moving.

VM BOTANIX ARRIVES

Same instincts, same roots, an entirely different company and industry, and now in North Carolina.

HOW WE BUILD

MADE ON PURPOSE

Every product starts as a question about what it should do and what it can leave out. Formulation, sourcing, hardware and packaging get decided together rather than bolted on at the end.
HOW WE BUILD

SOURCING

Suppliers with documentation on every lot that comes in, verified for both integrity and quality.

FORMULATION

Built and reworked in small batches until the profile holds up run after run.

TESTING

Third-party verified full panel tested before a batch is cleared to leave the building.

DESIGN

Hardware and packaging designed to be kept, not hidden in a drawer.

DOCUMENTED
TESTED
BUILT TO LAST
THE FIRST COLLECTION

THREE TO START

Our opening release is a line of botanical inhalation devices — the category we know best, and the fastest way to show what our standards look like in practice. Treat it as the first shelf of a much larger catalogue rather than the whole of it.

VM Botanix Monkey Cream
01

MONKEY CREAM

The flavor that made the most noise in 2012. Smooth and rounded, with a soft vanilla-leaning finish. The one to hand someone first.

02

TROPIC MONKEY

The second OG flavor in 2012. Tropical, fruit-forward and clean through the exhale. Built for warm weather and short days off.

03

GORILLA GRAPE

Another original. Decadent purple grape flavor with a smooth and sweet exhale.

MORE ORIGINAL FLAVORS ALREADY IN DEVELOPMENT.

WHAT WE STAND ON

FIVE THINGS WE WON'T BYPASS

INNOVATION

We’d rather ship one format nobody has done properly than five that already exist.

QUALITY

A batch either meets the spec or it doesn’t leave the building.

TRANSPARENCY

Every ingredient is listed, and we’ll tell you why it’s in there.

DESIGN

If a product looks disposable it gets treated that way. Ours doesn’t.

EVOLUTION

Nothing here is final. Every product is a version, and versions improve.
2012 — 2018 — 2026

2012 BUILT IT. 2018 CLOSED IT. 2026 REBUILT IT.

The name changed because the standards did.
ON THE BENCH

THIS IS VERSION ONE

New formats, new formulations and new categories are already in development. We’re not going to describe them before they’re finished — but the people on our list will see them first.
