Energy prices rose 41.6 percent over the last year, the largest 12-month increase since April 1980. Within the energy category, motor fuel prices (which includes all types of gasoline) increased 60.2 percent over the year. Gasoline prices increased 59.9 percent; the largest 12-month increase since March 1980. Electricity prices rose 13.7 percent, the largest 12-month increase since April 2006. Natural gas (piped utility gas) prices increased 38.4 percent over the 12 months ended June 2022, the largest increase since October 2005.

Prices for new vehicles increased 11.4 percent over the year, prices for used cars and trucks were up 7.1 percent, while prices for motor vehicle parts and equipment increased 14.9 percent.

This data is from the Consumer Price Index program and is not seasonally adjusted.

From boardrooms to grocery stores, inflation is affecting everyone. Prices are up over 7 percent in the United States and more around the world—with no signs of coming down anytime soon. Businesses are already reeling, and tired, from two years of a global pandemic that required nimble, innovative solutions. But it’s time again to strategize.

Options to Deal with Inflation

For the first time in at least a decade, inflation has become an urgent short-term consideration for almost all companies around the world. More recently, the U.S. Federal Reserve implied that the current wave of inflation may not be as “transitory” as originally suspected.

The classic response to inflation is to select one of three unattractive options. Companies can upset their customers by raising prices, upset their investors by cutting margins, or upset practically everyone by cutting corners in order to cut costs. Faced with this trilemma, most companies ultimately resort to raising their prices, then look for clever ways to mitigate the subsequent drama.

What they overlook, however, is that those options are shortsighted tactical relics of earlier eras. In the 1970s, when “stagflation” gripped major economies, businesses lacked the technology, the data, and in many cases the notion to do anything bolder or more strategic. When inflation hit during the Great Recession of 2008-09, businesses still saw themselves constrained within the same old trilemma.

Inflation in 2022 is a different story. Here at Vapor E-Cigarette, we now enjoy a level of market visibility and agility that other businesses could have hardly imagined even one generation ago. Vapor E-Cigarette has much better data and more sophisticated tools to analyze and turn this data into useful information to support decisions. It’s an ideal time for Vapor E-Cigarette to treat inflation as a strategic opportunity rather than a tactical challenge, and to choose from a better set of options. Instead of worrying about how much more to charge our customers, we have devoted our resources to figuring out how to source better products at a lower price. So, we can pass those savings on to our customers and NOT RAISE OUR PRICES. Instead, we have either been able to keep the same prices or even lower them. Yet we have not compromised on quality, we succeeded in elevating the quality.

We have gotten great feedback on our new products. Almost all our customers have commented that they are better than the older more expensive ones.

We have invested in better sourcing, better labeling, higher quality, and higher visibility.

This way of thinking and sourcing has positioned Vapor E-Cigarette to offer great prices to our customers who we know are feeling the pinch of everything else going up in price.

Come in and see us. We would love to show you how our prices have either stayed the same or even gotten lower with a better-quality product.

And as always, thank you for being our customer!

Thank you

It’s always an advantage to know the vaping laws governing the marketing, sales, and use of vape products, especially if you’re a company in the e-cigarette industry or a vapor. In the U.S, the sales and use of vape pens, liquid nicotine, e-cigarettes, e-liquids, or bulk import of such products aren’t without a list of requirements and regulatory guidelines.

Companies need to ensure compliance for their company and employees. This calls for an in-depth understanding of the rules and regulations surrounding customer age verifications, product placements and displays, sampling, internet and mail orders, restricted store sections, and many more.

Like most laws in the U.S, there are state and federal regulations for nicotine devices. Certain states in the U.S consider vaping companies to be manufacturers and retailers. What this implies is that they must deal with additional rules and laws. Ensuring that they are compliant will save them a lot of delays, fees, and fines.

Plus, the FDA is pointing to a full-out ban on synthetic nicotine, also known as TFN or Non-tobacco derived nicotine. Most (approx. 90%) of premium juices on the shelf today and including 90% of popular disposables containing this type of nicotine, that is NOT approved by the FDA, will be required to be removed from shelves by July or August of 2022.

This article covers five essential laws you should understand as a vape company and a vapor in the U.S. But before diving into it, let’s look at a general overview of vape regulations.

A Quick Overview

In the latter part of December 2020, a budget package saw the light of day after its passing by Congress.

The package included the likes of the coronavirus relief bill, but what would interest most vape companies was a 5000-page document also located inside the package.

This document was the law called the Preventing Online Sales of E-Cigarettes to Children Act.

It regulated several vape products, like the dual battery vape mods and the more sophisticated vape setups like the Tesla Punk Vape MOD. But this was just a piece of the iceberg, and laws such as these can easily go unnoticed if you’re not paying attention. So, let’s take a closer look at five of them.

1. Preventing Online Sales of E-Cigarettes to Children Act

President Trump signed this Act into law in 2020. In the vaping industry, this act is commonly called the “vape mail ban.”

However, vape companies will feel the effects of the Preventing Online Sales of E-Cigarettes to Children Act reaching past the postal delivery. Despite its popularity since December 2020, this law isn’t new.

It had previously passed the House back in 2019 and, in July 2020, made its way to the Senate in somewhat different forms. However, the Senate received a call-to-action from CASAA concerning the bill before its passing in the summer.

Overall, few vape businesses and vapers are alarmed by the possible impacts of its passage, not knowing its full impacts.

These impacts are just NOW being felt in the closure of some online vape businesses, no shipping options, or the very long wait for vape items to be shipped. This includes many on social media asking about “What Happen” to so and so and where I would get my vape supplies. This law has caused many to close or go B2B (Business to Business only) and limited consumer choice by over 60%.

2. Preventing All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT)

All vendors of vapor products and businesses that deal in devices that deliver flavor, the nicotine from an aerosolized solution, or other substances that enable users to inhale will have to comply with Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) from late March 2021. This law also goes by the name Jenkins Act.

It regulates regular vapor products that deliver nicotine and non-nicotine vapor products, which the government might regard as containing hemp oil. You read that correctly, even zero-Nic juice is included!

Failure to abide by the rules and regulations stipulated by the Jenkins/PACT Act exposes vape companies to the possibility of heavy fines in the sums of $5,000 to $10,000 for each violation.

Because of this FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS have either eliminated or severely limited shipping with double to triple the shipping costs. The vape community has tried to address this with shipping options like the company ‘X’, but they are all Freight shippers and can take months to deliver. The exceptions are those that don’t tell the shipper service it is a vape product, then it gets through, but we don’t think that will last much longer because the first time there is a nicotine leak in 1 shipment, then there will be inspections done on all packages from any suspected source. This will end all side steps.

Then under President Biden in 2022, a tacked-on bill to add synthetic nicotine to FDA regulation was added to the spending bill that passed. So far, the FDA has said they will totally ban all non-tobacco-derived nicotine. This ruling is coming in the next few months.

3. FDA Regulation of ENDS

Electronic nicotine delivery systems, otherwise termed ENDS, are devices such as vape pens, electronic cigarettes, vaporizers, and e-pipes, among many others. All these devices are non-combustible tobacco products.

The FDA in 2016 concluded a ruling that extended CTP’s regulatory domain to cover tobacco products, including ENDS that fall under the category of tobacco products.

Hence, the FDA controls the import, advertising, sale, packaging, distribution, labeling, and manufacture of all such products. Its regulations also cover the parts and components of ENDS. However, it excludes all accessories. Some examples of such components include:

• Battery (this is why there are now labels on most vape batteries that the battery is not for vaping, this is to keep the FDA paws off of batteries)
• Atomizer
• Cartomizer
• Cartridge
• Clearomizer
• Tank System
• Drip Tip
• Programmable software (yes even software is considered a Tobacco product for the FDA if it is for an ENDS product, you know, the kind to update your mod device)

4. FDA Tobacco Regulations

Businesses that produce, modify, fabricate, mix, fix, assemble, repack, label, import, or relabel ENDS must also abide by the requirements for manufacturers, in addition to the first three laws.

If your company falls into this category, the FDA considers you a tobacco product “manufacture.” Even companies that import finished tobacco products must comply just like tobacco products distributors or manufacturers. They must file a PTMA. As of writing this, over 98% of vaping has received MDOs. This doesn’t mean it is off the shelf. Many companies are going ahead against the Market Denial Order and still make and sell. They are of the mind they won’t stop till the FDA forces them. Since the FDA is a government agency, it means it moves slowly, but don’t be fooled. The FDA with the force of the ATF (Alcohol, TOBACCO, & Firearms) will act to enforce these regulations.

Therefore, vape companies must register their company and submit a list of products, advertisements, and labeling. Per the regulations, other details needed to be submitted include an ingredient listing and data. We at Vapor E-Cigarette have filed this list for a retailer.

5. Protecting American Lungs and Reversing the Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act

In February 2020, the U.S House of Representatives approved a bill to tackle the youth tobacco crisis. The name of this bill was the Protecting American Lungs and Reversing the Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act of 2020.

It bans most flavored tobacco and vaping products such as mint and menthol flavor. Plus, it imposes taxes on nicotine e-cigarettes and affects vape companies. However, it has not passed the Senate…yet. However, the FDA has not approved a single flavored product except for Tobacco, and they are about to ban Menthol. They are already moving to ban flavored cigars, loose tobacco, and menthol cigarettes.

Conclusion

One vital fact to always keep in mind, the law and regulations are always subject to modification via the passing of new legislation, federal decisions, ballot initiatives, high court rulings, or other approved methods. Therefore, it’s always necessary to follow the latest developments and know current information.

Often, understanding the complex rules and how they affect the vape business can be challenging. Therefore, companies may need an attorney in addition to their legal research to clear all their doubts.

DON’T PANIC, We at Vapor E-Cigarette LLC do have a lawyer to help guide the company through this regulatory maze. Because of these new laws and rules, Vapor E-Cigarette LLC must change a few things we do to stay compliant. Because of the FDA requirements and being forced to have a lawyer, it may be necessary to raise prices, but we are working hard to keep current pricing for you. We have been working hard the last few months to plan. We are now initiating that plan to be viable and to be here for years to come for our customers, our future customers, and all vapors. Vapor E-Cigarette LLC does not see these changes in a negative light, but as more of an opportunity. This is the reason behind having our event & sale. We understand that these changes may rattle some but be assured that we will do everything we can to make these changes barely impact your vaping experience or supplies. Rest assured, that our plan is working to survive these regulatory requirements and that we can and will be here for YOU. Please help by telling your friends and family about us and our products.

Vapors need to keep informed on what their government is doing. Stay engaged, and contact your representatives on the Local, State, and Federal levels. Remember to let them know your story on how vaping has helped you, you vape, AND YOU VOTE! Educating our leaders always has influenced the way they regulate. Therefore, educate, share your story, and send our leaders the REAL science on Vaping, Kratom, and Hemp Products. Without ALL of us, then NONE of us will have the choice of these life-changing products.

Over the past couple of Years, the FDA has issued marketing denial orders (MDO's) to nearly every company that submitted a PMTA, to keep their products on the market. The few companies that have escaped will almost surely receive their death warrants soon. Now that the FDA has the right to regulate synthetic nicotine, they have signaled that they will not approve any product with tobacco-free derived nicotine.

The MDOs amount to a de facto flavor ban. The FDA claims the rejections are because the applications lacked "sufficient product-specific scientific evidence to demonstrate enough of a benefit to adult smokers that would overcome the risk posed to youth."

However, this was not a standard that was issued prior to the PMTA submission deadline or ever once uttered since. The FDA is essentially applying a retroactive requirement and is using the fact that no companies fulfilled this tacked-on standard to justify decimating an entire industry.

Moreover, the FDA has spent the past 5 years telling vape companies that we cannot advertise or sell our products as smoking cessation devices. Now all of a sudden, they are turning around and demanding that we prove that they are?

All flavored vape products are being rapidly forced off the market except for tobacco flavors, as the FDA rubber stamps rejection letters to every vape company in the United States with nearly identical form letters.

The MDOs (Market Denial Orders) are not being reserved for small companies or PMTA applications of low quality. Several very large vape companies that spent between 10 and 20 million dollars on their PMTA applications have also received the exact same MDO letters for all their flavored products. We expect the MDO will force most to all products off the market apart from Tobacco flavored e-juice and the few FDA-favored hardware items.

The PMTA process is very costly and many small businesses like us at Vapor E-cigarette, could not afford this process. We have tried everything we can to stay compliant. We will continue to sell ALL our products, but we will have to change a few things to stay open under the new FDA’s draconian overreach of the vape market. Based on what we have seen, only Tobacco flavors are being approved by the FDA with the all-out ban on all other flavors. This includes cities and states passing their own flavor bans. This has forced many into the DIY world. FDA has already, through a lawsuit admitted it could not regulate the DIY Vaping Community, which we at Vapor E-cigarette will have to adapt. We already offered for many years DIY supplies, so we will have to make that our focal point going forward. We are being forced to stop offering an in-house completed tobacco product to our customers.

Like most vape companies, we will almost certainly be forced to adapt. Moreover, given the outrageous actions on the part of the FDA, We at Vapor E-Cigarette LLC believe it is worth continuing to adapt and overcome.

The FDA has shown a blatant disregard for the rights of small business owners. They have not only kept us in regulatory limbo for over a few years, they actively encouraged us to continue to invest in our DIY in anticipation of receiving deficiency letters and an opportunity to keep doing business.

In the end, none of it mattered. We have fought it with documentation, studies, test results, working with national groups, and much more to get the FDA to recognize the importance of vaping. The FDA never even looked at any of it and dismissed most of it except a few small notes buried on their website. We received the same form letter they delivered to every other vape company in the United States.

Meanwhile, the FDA has punted on making a decision as to whether it will continue to allow Juul and other Big Tobacco vape products to remain on the market. The FDA as of this writing has only approved 3 vape products.

The FDA's recent actions have shown us that the PMTA process was a sham. The FDA never intended to give a fair review to any in the vape community. They are destroying hundreds of small businesses and handing the market to Big Tobacco.

It is Vapor E-Cigarette LLC intention to let our customers know the changes we will have to make to keep offering vape products to you, our customers for years to come and to keep FDA out.

However, we have already told you through our blog, ‘Don’t Panic’. If you are not subscribed to our newsletter, please go to our website and enter your email at the bottom of the page. Plus, you can access our blog here. Also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, & YouTube. We will keep you up to date on the changes that are coming. Please be aware that our newsletter and blog are the best ways to stay informed because there are also limitations set on vaping on social media outlets we must tread lightly on those platforms.

We are not going to approach these changes as a negative and you shouldn’t either but as an opportunity to show the powers that be, that we as vapors are resilient. That no government agency is going to stop us. We will do whatever it takes to stay away from smoking and help others discover the wonder of Vaping, Kratom, and Hemp Products.

To prove these changes are not negative, We at Vapor E-cigarette, are doing a giveaway of 3 gift certificates to help get the word out about the changes. Plus, we will be having a ‘BURNED by the FDA’ event and sale to celebrate the changes we will be doing to stay in business to keep you supplied with the vape products, Kratom, and Hemp items. This includes introducing our new DYI Juice kit called ‘Juice Barrel’. We will also be opening our website for ordering with in-store pickup only. You can check out our new re-vaped website now, just can’t order yet because the changes are still happing. We will also be adding QR codes to our products, that way if you, friends, or family wonder about a product you got from us, you can scan the QR code, and it will guide you to the product section on our website.

To qualify for the first of three gift certificates worth $150, (1) you must like the Facebook post, (2) share it on your page, and (3) comment. ‘Liked, Shared, & #BURNEDbytheFDA’. We will do a random pick out of the qualifying posts. The winner will have to show proof of following all 3 before the gift certificate will be awarded. They will be awarded on the day of the event & sale. The Gift Certificates will be good for any item in-store and in stock, with no special orders. The Gift Certificates will be good for 90 days. Each of the 3 posts will run for 1 week. Any like, share, or comment after 1 week will not qualify for the random pick for the gift certificates.

Get ready for the ‘BURNED by the FDA’ event and sale. Stay tuned for more information on the event & sale in the coming weeks.

Vape batteries are one of the most common components in vaping devices. The 20700 battery that has been rapidly being replaced with the 21700 as of late, was not always that popular. Yet there are still many vaping mods that use them and some that can only fit the 20700.

Why it’s happening

The 20700 battery has been on the market since around 2017 and is a logical successor to the 18650. These new batteries were larger, better, weighed less than the 26650, and more long-lasting than their predecessors. In addition, they were being used in power tools, flashlights, and other battery-operated devices in order to prolong their usability before needing to recharge. In the world of vaping, it seemed like a godsend. After all, you don't have to worry about changing the batteries or recharging as often with this kind of mod. But, of course, there are drawbacks. Lots of manufacturers were yet to produce high-capacity mods that supported the 20700. But when they did finally come out, the vaping community was torn. On one side there were those who liked the idea of longer lasting mods while the other was upset that they would have to pay more to replace their batteries and in some cases battery chargers to fit the bigger battery (unless you were using 26650). Even though demand for the 20700 wasn't as high, it still was a good improvement

As soon as people learned that companies started manufacturing 18650, 20700, and 21700 battery compatible mods, the 20700 was considered a stopgap. So many people did not want to dispose of their original 18650. However, once the 18650 died, most consumers moved over to the 21700 because battery makers looked at the 20700 as a failed idea. The power and portability benefits were too good to be overlooked and many other tool companies, such as DeWalt, abandoned the 20700 for the 21700. This was the same for mods. Vapors just skipped over the 20700 for the 21700. So, the decline of the 20700 was inevitable.

What you can do now

If you're one of the few people who like the 20700 and invested in mod equipment that fits it, now is your time. You can buy a sleeve that would make your 18650's fit in it instead. Vapor E-cigarette still has dependable 20700 batteries in stock. All you must do is come in and pick them up. These units will now be an item for collectors because of the 20700 ending. So do not fear that the 20700 battery is going extinct, but instead take pride in owning one and know that it is one of a kind that will never be seen again. That makes it unique and valuable in the vaping universe. The trend now is either to get mods that use batteries other than the ones that came with your device, or just to get 18650/21700 batteries which are compatible with more mods. The only drawback is that this opens the door to the cost savings of battery choices. What this means is that there is no need to have many different batteries to provide power to your vaping habit. But what you need to do is be sure that you buy good batteries from reputable retailers and sites. Plus, they should give you advice about battery safety.

It's not just about turning off your e-cigarette after every use, but keeping you and your mod safe to use, keep battery safety at the forefront of your mind and you'll be safe. It would be unfortunate if we cannot use these any longer because a story of battery accidents shuts us down.

Vapes that bit into the 3 BIGS money has caused a huge ripple in the world of vape. Vapes were invented and made for individuals when the 3 BIGS and all the non-for-profits only blew more smoke by just talking but never coming up with a real solution vapes filled. This scared them all. We all know what happens when you scare the 3 BIGS, they start to regulate it out of existence. That is exactly what is happing.

So, let’s play the what if…then game. What if vapes disappeared? Well for me the world would become a black-market quickly because I am not going back to smoking, just like the rest of you feel. But we hop aboard the time machine and go to a future where vapes are gone, disappeared, regulated out of existence. Then what? We see some back to smoking cigarettes or other legal tobacco products and the deaths related to smoking goes back up. The 3 BIGS are back making their money while people die. Same song 2nd verse could get better but it's going to get worse.

We are now 20 years into the future 2042. As a vapor, I am going to find the black-market. I would make a ‘speak easy’ for vaping. Some say vaping is too big to be taken down. They thought that about alcohol too. But did you know the first Black Woman Millionaire made her money by running black-market alcohol? Well, us vapors can run vapes. We can learn from the past and make safe products. We can 3D print our own mods, buy electronic components that are available, even write the software. In 2042, technology will be bigger (as shown from the last 20 years). We can keep vapes alive. While we do this, we fight the 3 BIGS. We change minds and educate about the real world of vapes. It may take awhile but we can bring it back for the betterment of all smokers.

Now, we hop back to our own time, 2022. What are we doing to keep vapes from being regulated out of existence? Are you fighting it? Are you stock piling? Are you calling your representatives? Instead of waiting for 2042, let’s get motivated to keep vapes alive and well. What can you do?

The first thing is to talk to your friends and family about what vapes have done for you. Second, go make an appointment with your representatives and talk to them and give them real stories and science along with the FDA & ATF. Third, fight the misinformation spread by organizations like ‘Truth”. Don’t just call names or use derogatory language, just explain it with a cool and calm voice. Have conviction in your conversations. Call out manufactures that use pictures or names that appeal to kids. Stop that clerk or person outside selling to kids. If all of us stand up, the 3 BIGS can’t do anything. They can only take away vapes if we let them. If they want to use kids to outlaw vapes, then let’s take that option away. Whenever possible, talk kids out of vaping. Don’t let manufactures use cutesy names or packaging, tell them to change it. Ask your local retailer/convenance store about their policy on selling to kids and check on them whenever you go in for that drink or coffee. Talk to the manager or head office to make sure the vapes they choose to sell don’t appeal to kids. Be polite but determined in your message that vaping is a life saver for adults.

Now I know politics is not for many, but we must dip our toes in to get our message across. I don’t care if there is a ‘R’, ‘D’, or a ‘I’ after their or your politics, we are all vapors. Not everyone is going to see eye to eye, but we all can agree vapes need to be here now and 20 years from now. Our vape world won’t end if we vapors’ work for it. The 3 BIGS are using their money and weight to shove us around. Are you going to stand for it? If vapes disappeared, how would you get it back for you and all vapors?

Why will the vape world not disappear? Because of all vapors will stand up for their life changing/saving products. Our rebel community will take on any challenger threating our devices. We are not going away. All of us will save it together.

However, above it all, be a representative for vaping. Be seen, have conversations, be a witness and above all else, don’t go back to smoking.

Be well and take care.

Yes, this is from ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’. You know that old movie where only 1 human is rescued from the destruction of the earth.

Well, this may not be the destruction of the earth but about the destruction that the FDA is doing to the vaping universe.

If you don’t already know, the Federal Government gave FDA the power to regulate vaping, all of vaping. This includes but not limited to zero nicotine juice, mods, pods, coils, batteries, even the software. This herald the end of vaping as we knew it. However, when a laboratory was able to make nicotine synthetically, that opened the door to keep most vaping products and in-house juice being made and sold. This left the FDA in the dust. Or the vape world thought it would work because the law required a tobacco product to be derived from tobacco. Synthetic nicotine, since it was not from tobacco, allowed manufactures of vape products to continue. All a vape company’s products that had once been denied by FDA, could now continue without being pulled from the market.

BUT (knew that was coming), the last budget bill passed into law (March 2022) had a vape rider introduced by the Representative from Illinois and signed by the President. This rider added synthetic nicotine to the FDA regulations. This requires all vape final and completed products to undergo the PMTA process. This process is time intensive, extremely costly, and no guarantee of approval. This has caused many vape manufactures, suppliers, and retailers to close. FDA uses the ATF to enforce this policy. This isn’t a joke. The FDA has already caused the closing of many operating in the vape universe. The ATF has already rated many stores and manufactures because of this PMTA that came about by the Deeming Rule. If you want more details, we added links to the bottom.

Since synthetic nicotine is under FDA now, several vape related products and businesses who used synthetic nicotine to continue to operate, now must go through the PMTA process or shut down (usually forced to shut down). The FDA has opened a very short window for those who changed their products to synthetic nicotine to file and begin the PMTA process. This starts now (4-1-2022). Those vendors have till 4-14-2022 to get their ducks in a row (required documents gathering). Then from 4-14-2022 to 5-14-2022, those companies must file their documents for PMTA. On 7-13-2022, if the vape products have not been filed or approved, then they become illegal and must be removed from the market. This will be enforced by the ATF.

Also, it has been already signaled by the FDA, if a vape company’s vape products had already been denied before the switch to synthetic nicotine and that was the only change, then the chances of those items being denied again are almost at 100%.

What does this mean to YOU? This means that the vape products you rely on to keep you from smoking are highly likely to be removed from the market. The FDA had already denied millions of PMTA’s and many who DIY, have been slowly discovering this fact, because some of the big players in the vape market have already closed. Since they could not afford the FDA PMTA process or were denied and forced to close. There are several lawsuits in the works. However, there is as of right now hope but no relief yet.

DON’T PANIC– Just like in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you may be looking up at this thinking the FDA and the ATF are the horrible big aliens about to blow-up your world. You don’t want to go back to smoking. Vaping helped you to be free from all of that. That it’s the end of the world….” what am I going to do for my vaping needs?”

Here at Vapor E-Cigarette, we got your back. Vapor E-cigarette is here for you. We have been and currently are working toward solutions for our customers and all vapers with our close relationships with regulators and vape distributors & manufactures. We are going to do whatever needs done to be done to have the vaping products you have come to depend upon. In the future, as the laws change, we will adapt to these changes to keep going. Now, some vape products may not be packaged the same way or have the large amount to choose from, the fallout has yet to be realized, BUT WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! There will be changes, but these changes will allow Vapor E-cigarette to still serve you. Vaper E-cigarette is on top of this ever-changing situation. We are working for you to keep vaping legal and YOUR choice. We will have more information for you as the situation evolves. Stay Tuned and Stay Cloudy.

On Black Friday, November 26th we will open the shop at 10:30am sharp with our annual Buy One Get One Free bottles of our Vice and Brew lines of house juice. This is a great chance to try some new flavors or just stock up on your favorites. We are also giving astronomical deals and discounts on our kratom, the best and freshest strains you have come to know and love, that should not be missed at the lowest prices we have ever had! Some of our select Mods, Tanks, RDA's, CBD, and Cannabinoids will continue to be at the same amazing discounts through the business day Friday. 

On  Novermber 27th, Blue Saturday, we will drop some discounts slightly but continue with our house juices Buy One Get One Half Price, more discounts on kratom, and other special items at a great sale price. Like our Artery PAL II for just $10 each as well as Blue Blood bangers and bowls for $6. 

We have loved sharing these deals with you as our way of giving thanks to our loyal customers. Because of the great turn out we have decide to continue some of these great prices onto the next week when we will be putting our percolators and water pipes on special. Keep and eye out for that Blog. Hope to see you all soon!
