Battle of the Builders 2026: Vapor Trapper on the SEMA Stage

The SEMA Battle of the Builders Presented by Mothers is one of the most watched competitions in the custom car world. Every year, top builders bring their best work to Las Vegas to be judged against the very best in the industry.

This year, Vapor Trapper will be on vehicles competing in the 2026 SEMA Battle of the Builders.

Why that matters to us

Battle of the Builders vehicles are judged on every detail. Fit, finish, engineering and craftsmanship all count. When builders at that level choose to run Vapor Trapper, it tells us we are building a product that belongs on the best cars in the world.

It also shows something we have always believed: vapor control does not have to be an afterthought. A clean, billet aluminum canister can be part of the design, not something hidden under a panel.

Built with Pot O' Gold Kustoms

One of our builder partners, Pot O' Gold Kustoms, builds with Vapor Trapper integrated from the start. Their project, Dirty Humor, is prepped for SEMA 2026 and Battle of the Builders. We will share more about that build soon.

What builders get from Vapor Trapper

For shops building competition-level cars, Vapor Trapper checks a lot of boxes:

• 6061 billet aluminum that matches high-end builds

• Patented, universal design for practically any inlet and outlet configuration

• Works with EFI, fuel cells and custom tanks

• Low-Profile option for tight packaging

• Rechargeable charcoal and a lifetime warranty
