📊 Market Comparison: Underwood vs Brisbane CBD vs Logan
In 2025, the ACCC’s latest market report confirms that outer-suburb vape stores such as vape and grind underwood are eroding the CBD monopoly by combining aggressive pricing with niche curation. The data below was pulled from a mystery-shop run across twelve outlets in March 2025.
Price Index (per 3500-puff disposable)
Region Average Unit Price Stock Rotation (days) Underwood AUD $33.90 3 Brisbane CBD AUD $41.10 7 Logan Hyperdome AUD $39.50 5 Flavour Availability (Top-20 SKUs)
According to a 2025 industry analysis commissioned by VapourTech Insights, Underwood stores stock 89 % of Australia’s top-selling fruit profiles, while the CBD averages only 62 %. The gap is driven by lower commercial rents allowing smaller batch imports.
💡 User Experiences & Case Studies
Case Study 1 – Emily, 27, Dental Nurse, Rochedale South
“I had been buying disposables from a Queen Street kiosk for two years. A colleague told me about vape and grind underwood, but I thought it was ‘sketchy’. The first visit flipped that idea on its head. The owner walked me through a 15-minute tasting flight and let me test draw on the IGET BAR STRAWBERRY WATERMELON HARD CANDY. My weekly spend dropped from $48 to $33.90, and the flavour is cleaner.”Case Study 2 – Liam, 34, Courier Driver, Springwood
“I drive 400 km a day. Battery longevity matters. The staff measured the coil resistance on-site and recommended the IGET BAR PINEAPPLE ICE. It lasted two full days with 3500 puffs. The CBD store never offered that level of tech support.”Case Study 3 – Aisha, 41, Marketing Manager, Eight Mile Plains
“I needed a bulk order for a staff wellness program. The IGET Bar 100 Pack brought the per-unit cost down to $18.50. Try getting that pricing in the city without a wholesaler licence.”Case Study 4 – Marco, 23, Uni Student, Kuraby
“Flavour chasing on a budget is tricky. The QUADRUPLE BERRY tastes like a smoothie bowl and costs $33.90. They even split payment across two cards when my scholarship came late.”🛒 2025 Purchase Guide: Four Disposables That Dominate Underwood Shelves
