About Vape Scene Investigation

Vape Scene Investigation is the German-language channel of Simon Horst, published as @nerdsceneinvestigationsimon. Horst, based in Kaiserslautern, makes long-form commentary on the law, politics and factual questions surrounding e-cigarettes. Recent uploads include interviews, conference recordings and Patreon-exclusive material, and the channel has not published a new video in the past year.

The audience is estimated, not measured. It appears to be mostly German-speaking adults with an interest in vaping policy, skewing male and aged 25 to 44. The channel has about 17,300 subscribers, with a median of 142 views per video, so per-video reach is modest. No sponsorship disclosures were found in the last 50 videos, and the creator links an Amazon wishlist as an affiliate. Sponsored integrations are estimated at $150 to $250 per video, which at this median view count works out to a CPM of roughly $20 to $35 per 1,000 views, compared with $10 to $30 for typical paid ads.

This channel suits vape hardware or liquid brands that want to reach German-speaking adults in a regulated category, and it is a poor fit for family or general consumer brands.
