Premium, TPD-compliant, and high-performance e-liquids optimized for Erbil, Baghdad, and Basra wholesale distribution channels. Engineered for outstanding flavor delivery and device longevity.
As a strategic trade gateway in the Middle East, Iraq is experiencing a robust structural shift in tobacco consumption, pivoting dynamically from traditional Hookah (Shisha) to high-mobility, electronic vaporization systems.
Over the past five years, the urban hubs of Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, and Sulaymaniyah have seen rapid expansion in vaping demographics. Driven by a young, tech-savvy population and growing health consciousness surrounding traditional combustible tobacco products, the demand for high-quality e-liquids has surged exponentially. The transition is characterized by a high demand for both disposable vape devices and refillable pod systems.
However, the Iraqi market is highly distinct. Unlike Western markets governed strictly by TPD regulations, Iraq's market demands a blend of extreme flavor intensity, high nicotine delivery stability, and exceptional thermal resilience due to hot climate conditions. Temperatures exceeding 45°C during summer require e-liquids to maintain viscosity stability to prevent leaking—a primary pain point for local retailers. At Esaturn Vape Co., Ltd., we formulate our exports specifically to withstand high temperatures by optimizing vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG) ratios.
Headquartered in Shenzhen, the global hub of electronic cigarette innovation, Esaturn operates a state-of-the-art facility engineered for mass production and bespoke OEM/ODM solutions.
Our facility is equipped with automated assembly lines, high-precision liquid-filling machines, and cleanroom environments that meet international GMP standards.
An experienced team of engineers, lab technicians, and production specialists dedicated to ensuring that every product batch meets precise specifications.
Robust supply chain logistics and massive scaling capacity enable us to fulfill bulk orders for the Middle East market swiftly and reliably.
From raw material sourcing to production, assembly, testing, and packaging, every process is carried out under a strict quality management system. Each product undergoes multiple inspections to ensure safety, reliability, and consistent performance before shipment.
Our formulation engineers design vape juices utilizing USP-grade raw materials to ensure maximum purity, flavor fidelity, and chemical stability under variable temperature profiles.
Every batch of Esaturn E-Liquid is blended using 99.9% pure Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG) sourced from globally recognized pharmaceutical raw material suppliers. This purity prevents the accumulation of toxic byproducts and ensures a smooth throat hit that satisfies regional preferences in the Middle East.
For pod systems, we utilize high-stability nicotine salts. Nicotine salts mimic the absorption rate of traditional cigarettes, providing quick satisfaction at lower wattages. This technology is crucial for the Iraq market, where high-nicotine disposables (2% to 5% salt nicotine) dominate the urban retail sectors.
During transport and storage in hot Middle Eastern climates, standard e-liquids can lose viscosity, leading to device leakage. Esaturn solves this through proprietary stabilizer adjustments. By fine-tuning the VG/PG ratio (e.g., 50/50 for pods and 70/30 for sub-ohm devices) with food-grade binding agents, our juices maintain stable viscosity up to 55°C.
We source food-grade flavor concentrates from leading flavor houses worldwide. Our chemical formulations are guaranteed free from harmful additives like diacetyl, acetyl propionyl, and acetoin, making them compliant with both European TPD standards and Middle Eastern customs health checks.
From custom brand development to specialized packaging design, Esaturn provides a comprehensive suite of services to scale your brand in the Iraq market.
We match local flavor preferences, specializing in double apple, mint, grape, and sweet tropical fruits popular in Iraq.
Customized formulation alignment to match target nicotine limitations and packaging warning labels in English/Arabic.
Every formula undergoes heat, stress, and container interaction testing to ensure a stable shelf-life of 24 months.
Smooth transit routing through major ports (Umm Qasr) or air freight direct to Baghdad and Erbil airports.
Exporting vape products to Iraq requires deep understanding of changing customs frameworks, import duties, and localized logistics channels. We provide comprehensive compliance support.
Iraqi customs function under two primary administration systems: Erbil-based KRG customs and Baghdad-based Federal customs. Import regulations, tax rates, and security inspections can vary considerably between these entry points. For instance, Erbil is often preferred for rapid air freight distribution throughout northern Iraq, while Basra’s Umm Qasr Port serves as the entry point for large bulk ocean freight shipments.
We supply all required international documentation, including COA (Certificate of Analysis), MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets), and ISO 9001/GMP certifications, facilitating smooth clearance at both federal and regional checkpoints.
To succeed in the Iraqi retail market, clear packaging and localized warning labels are essential. We assist brand owners in developing packaging designs that feature bilingual instructions (Arabic and English) alongside clean barcode registration for local point-of-sale systems.
Additionally, we offer customized batch coding and anti-counterfeiting verification labels, helping retail customers in Iraq verify that their products are authentic imports from our Shenzhen factory.

Get answers to the most common queries from importers, distributors, and vape shop owners in the Iraq market regarding ordering, logistics, custom formulations, and compliance.
For customized OEM/ODM e-liquid formulations and packaging, the initial formulation and brand design stage takes 7–10 working days. Once the samples are approved, mass production requires 15–20 days depending on the volume. Shipping transit times typically take 15–25 days via ocean routes to Umm Qasr, or 5–7 days via cargo flights to Erbil International Airport or Baghdad International Airport.
We adjust the formulation base of our export e-liquids using specific ratios of high-purity Vegetable Glycerin (VG) and stabilizers. This ensures that the viscosity remains within the optimal range even when temperatures reach up to 55°C, effectively preventing leaks in pod systems and disposables stored in local retail shops.
Yes, we provide localization design services. We can customize the product packaging, warning text, and instructions in both Arabic and English to comply with regional marketing standards and help your brand build trust with Iraqi consumers.
For our standard brand packaging, the MOQ is low, starting at 1,000 bottles per flavor. For fully customized OEM orders (custom bottle shapes, custom packaging box designs, and specialized flavor formulations), the MOQ is typically 5,000 to 10,000 bottles per flavor profile.
Yes, we work with specialized logistics partners experienced in Middle Eastern freight. We provide complete commercial documentation, including Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), Certificate of Analysis (COA), and compliant packing lists, ensuring a smooth customs clearance process.
