Certification

Recently, Victoria has amended the regulations around tobacco to include Vape retailers specifically on ‘Specialised E-Cigarette Retailer’. The ramifications for all vape stores are vast. These changes include no sampling or testing and no vaping in stores or enclosed workspaces overall to name a few.

Additionally, we cannot make recommendations that may be perceived as promoting one company over any other. We can however answer any questions you may have to any degree should they not be biased to benefit any given product. As an example of this, should you ask for a butterscotch flavour we can direct you to each of the juices that are butterscotch and outline the profiles of any juice you ask about, this will also apply with any hardware you may have queries about.

To put it bluntly, we can be honest, as we have been and as we will continue to be adhering to these guidelines. As a general rule we will continue to stock products that we believe cater to the australian market, but also supply a broad range of international flavours for people to experiment with.

Despite all of this, we are not facing a doom or gloom situation by any means, in fact we are stronger than ever before. With thousands of customers visiting us in store and online every week, we as a team cannot be more grateful for the outpouring of support we have seen. Because of this support and the 1600+ submissions our customers contributed to have our voices heard alongside the support of many other vendors here in Victoria some leniency had been granted to stores that met the standards set out in the new regulations and had in addition been open for longer than certain periods of time (Grandfathered). We (alongside a select few other vendors) have been granted the ability to retain some display space. This space will be used as it traditionally has been to display both Juice and Mods and if you have been to the stores over the last week you will see how little has changed with the display room that we have.

As we always have and will continue to say, please continue to support your local vape stores. Overall vaping in Victoria is a long way from being dead!
