Vancouver is British Columbia's biggest vape market, with a mix of boutique vape lounges and neighbourhood smoke shops from Downtown to East Van. Remember that in British Columbia the legal purchase age is 19 and flavoured e-liquids are restricted to adult-only specialty vape shops, with limited exceptions for tobacco, mint and menthol. Where we do not know a field, it is shown as unknown rather than guessed, so confirm details with the shop before you travel.
Vape laws in Vancouver
Canada regulates vaping products at the federal level through the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act (TVPA). Since July 2021 the nicotine concentration in any vaping product sold legally is capped at 20 mg/mL (2%), and all products must carry bilingual health warnings and child-resistant packaging.
In British Columbia the legal purchase age is 19. British Columbia keeps flavoured e-liquids in adult-only specialty vape shops rather than banning them outright. The province also caps refill containers at 30 mL and pod cartridges at 2 mL, and requires a minimum distance of 6 metres from doorways, windows and air intakes when vaping in public.
Canada applies a national excise duty on vaping products, and several provinces add their own excise stamps. Rules can change, so check the current provincial regulations before you travel or order online; this page is a summary, not legal advice.
Vape and tobacco rules change often and can differ between a city, county and state. This summary is general information, not legal advice, and is not a verification of any shop's licence. Confirm current requirements with the relevant state or local authority, and always be ready to show government-issued photo ID proving you are of legal purchase age.
