We deliver vaping products to every province in Canada, from a Canadian warehouse, in Canadian dollars, with tracking from the first carrier scan. This page sets out how that actually works: what the timings are, what the packaging looks like, and the one thing most people get wrong, which is assuming the rules are the same everywhere.
They are not. The federal framework sets a floor and every province builds on it differently, with different minimum ages, different flavour rules and in three provinces a dedicated 20 percent tax. Where you live changes what you can buy and what it costs, and that is worth understanding before you order rather than at checkout.
How delivery works
Orders placed on a business day are dispatched within 24 hours. Tracking reaches you at the first carrier scan, and from that point you can follow the parcel yourself rather than waiting for us to tell you where it is.
Everything ships from inside Canada. Nothing crosses a border in either direction, which means no customs step, no import charge and no currency conversion at checkout. Prices are in Canadian dollars throughout.
Carriers, service levels and current timings are set out in full on our shipping and delivery page, and our returns policy page covers what happens if something arrives damaged or faulty.
Packaging, and what a neighbour sees
Parcels carry no product branding on the outside. There is nothing on the label indicating what is inside beyond the carrier information, which matters in an apartment building, a shared entrance or a workplace reception.
That is a deliberate choice rather than a marketing line. A large share of our orders go to addresses where somebody other than the buyer handles the parcel first, and discretion is the point.
If your building has a concierge, a parcel room or a controlled entry, saying so at checkout genuinely helps. Almost every delay in a dense city is a building access problem rather than a transit one.
What timing to expect
Transit times vary by distance and by whether an address is urban or rural. The table below sets out the honest bands rather than a best case.
| Region | Typical band | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Southern Ontario and Quebec | Fastest | Dense carrier networks, shortest transit |
| Lower Mainland British Columbia | Fast | Comparable to central Canada |
| Prairie cities | Fast to moderate | Weather occasionally disrupts a week |
| Interior British Columbia | Moderate | Mountain highway routing, winter closures possible |
| Vancouver Island | Moderate | A water crossing adds roughly a day |
| Atlantic Canada | Moderate | Eastern end of the network, storms occasionally disrupt |
| Rural addresses anywhere | Add a day or two | Normal for any national carrier |
Weather is the main variable outside anybody control, and in most of Canada that is a real factor between December and March rather than a disclaimer.
The rules change by province, and they change a lot
This is the part most retailers gloss over. Federal law under the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act caps retail nicotine at 20 mg/mL everywhere in Canada and sets the packaging and promotion framework. Provinces then add their own rules on top, and those differ sharply.
Two provinces prohibit flavours other than tobacco outright. Nova Scotia went first in April 2020 and Quebec followed in 2023. In both, the fruit, menthol and dessert profiles available elsewhere are simply not on sale, and zero nicotine products are not exempt because the prohibition attaches to flavour rather than nicotine.
Most other provinces restrict rather than prohibit, keeping flavours to specialist or age restricted retailers rather than general retail. Our vaping laws by province page sets out the current position province by province.
Provinces compared
The table summarises what actually differs. It is a summary rather than legal advice, and rules in this area have changed more than once.
| Province | Minimum age | Flavours | Provincial vaping tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ontario | 19 | Restricted to specialist retailers | None |
| Quebec | 18 | Tobacco only, prohibited otherwise | None |
| British Columbia | 19 | Restricted to age restricted retailers | 20 percent |
| Alberta | 18 | Restricted to age restricted premises | None |
| Manitoba | 18 | Restricted to age restricted premises | None |
| Saskatchewan | 18 | Restricted to age restricted premises | 20 percent |
| Nova Scotia | 19 | Tobacco only, prohibited since 2020 | 20 percent |
If you order to more than one address, it is the delivery address that determines which rules apply, not where you live or work.
City pages, and why they exist
Delivery is not uniform across a country this size, and neither is climate or housing. We keep a page for each major city we serve covering what is genuinely different about ordering there.
In Toronto and Vancouver that is condo towers and building access. In Ottawa and Gatineau it is a provincial border running through one urban area. In Winnipeg and Edmonton it is cold severe enough to change which hardware works.
The full set covers Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, London, Kitchener, Windsor, Barrie, Montreal, Laval, Quebec City, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Victoria, Kelowna, Calgary, Regina, Saskatoon and Halifax.
Age verification
We operate an age gate on every visit and verify age before any order is dispatched. The minimum is 18 in Quebec, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and 19 in Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia.
We use the rule that applies at the delivery address rather than a single national standard, which means somebody who may legally buy to one address may not be able to buy to another.
That is not a policy we can flex on, and we would rather state it plainly than have an order fail after it has been placed.
Weather, and what it does to your order
Between December and March, weather is the single largest cause of a delivery running late in most of Canada. Prairie storms, lake effect snow, mountain highway closures and Atlantic nor easters each disrupt a week occasionally.
None of it is predictable more than a day or two out, and no carrier can route around a closed highway. The only practical protection is a small buffer at home.
A spare pack of replacement coils and a spare bottle of vape juice cover the two things that actually stop a refillable device working. Neither is expensive, and both turn a weather week from a problem into a non event.
What we deliver
The catalogue is the same nationwide, subject to the provincial flavour rules above.
- disposable vapes, from compact capsule devices to high capacity rechargeable ones
- vape kits, vape pods and vape mods for refillable setups, which cost far less to run at the same consumption
- vape juice in salt and freebase nicotine at or under the federal 20 mg/mL ceiling
- replacement coils, vape tanks and batteries and chargers as replacements and spares
- nicotine free vapes for anyone stepping down or vaping for flavour alone
- accessories, dry herb vaporizers and our CBD and hemp range

What it costs, and where the tax lands
Three provinces apply a dedicated 20 percent tax on vaping products on top of ordinary sales tax: British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. The rest do not.
Because those taxes are proportional rather than flat, they scale with everything you buy and bite hardest on recurring spend. That makes moving off disposables save more in those three provinces, in absolute terms, than it does anywhere else.
Our refillable versus disposable vapes comparison sets out what refilling involves and vaping versus smoking cost calculator turns your own consumption into an annual figure against what you were spending before. For most daily vapers that number changes the decision.
Choosing hardware before you order
The single most expensive mistake in this category is buying on vapour production rather than on how closely a device replicates what you are replacing. It is also the most common.
Large airy devices produce impressive clouds and need a much lower nicotine strength to be usable. A recent smoker using one tends to vape continuously in search of a satisfaction that is not arriving, because the nicotine strength that suits the hardware is far below what they actually need.
What works instead is a tight draw device at a higher salt nicotine strength, which is our vape pods and vape kits territory. Our best vape for beginners in Canada guide sets out the reasoning, nicotine strength calculator matches a strength to your previous habit, and Health Canada quit smoking resources publishes independent guidance that has nothing to sell you.
When something arrives and does not work
Most reports of a faulty device turn out to be one of a small number of ordinary causes, and working through them in order saves a return that was never needed.
A burnt taste with liquid still visible means the wick can no longer keep up with the coil, which is the end of a useful life rather than a fault. A device that produces nothing is usually flat, locked, or has liquid insulating a contact. A pod that will not register is nearly always condensation in the pod well.
Our why a vape stops hitting walkthrough covers the full diagnostic order, and disposable vape troubleshooting covers disposables specifically. If a device genuinely fails out of the packet, that is a fault and our returns policy page sets out how we handle it.
Travelling with what you order
Anything containing a lithium cell travels in cabin baggage and never in checked luggage. That covers devices, spare cells and power banks alike, and it is the position set out by Transport Canada lithium battery rules.
Spare cells need individual protection against short circuit, which in practice means a plastic case or tape over the terminals. Empty tanks before flying, because cabin pressure changes push liquid past seals that hold perfectly at ground level.
Moving between provinces changes which rules apply to what you can buy there, though not to what you already own. Our guide to taking a vape on a plane covers the practical steps.
Common questions
Which provinces do you deliver to?
All of them. Everything ships from inside Canada, in Canadian dollars, with tracking from the first carrier scan. We do not ship outside Canada in either direction, so there is no customs step and no currency conversion.
Is the packaging discreet?
Yes. Parcels carry no product branding and nothing on the outside indicates what is inside beyond the carrier label. That matters in apartment buildings, shared entrances and workplace receptions, which is where a large share of orders arrive.
Why can my friend in another province buy things I cannot?
Because provincial rules differ sharply. Quebec and Nova Scotia prohibit flavours other than tobacco outright. Most other provinces restrict them to specialist or age restricted retailers instead. The delivery address determines which rules apply.
Why do the same products cost more in some provinces?
British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia each apply a 20 percent tax on vaping products on top of ordinary sales tax. The rest do not. It is a tax difference rather than a retailer markup.
What is the minimum vaping age in Canada?
It depends on the province. 18 in Quebec, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and 19 in Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia. We verify age against the rule at the delivery address before dispatch.
How long will my order take?
Southern Ontario, Quebec and the Lower Mainland are fastest. Interior British Columbia, Vancouver Island and Atlantic Canada sit a step behind, and rural addresses anywhere add a day or two. Winter weather is the main variable outside anybody control.
