Have questions about vaporizers or e-liquids? We have answers. Let us help.
Where is your store located?
We are proud to offer 2 brick-and-mortar locations in Doylestown, Pennsylvania (E State Street) and Ambler, Pennsylvania (N Main Street).
Can I purchase products online?
Unfortunately, no. This is due to the “Preventing Online Sales of E-Cigarettes to Children Act” which was snuck into the COVID-19 omnibus spending bill signed by President Trump Dec 2020. Many describe this as the “vape mail ban”; an attempt by the US Federal government to disrupt the vapor industry. Rather than fine or shut-down websites that do not use approved methods of age verification; the bill effectively restricts access to adults over the legal purchase age of 21. Ironically this was approved in a bill intended to safeguard the American public from the Pandemic; yet forces consumers to leave their homes and go to a physical store location to get their products. So at this time we are no longer able to ship products directly to retail consumers.
What Ingredients are in the E-liquid solution?
This varies but all of our vendors take great strides to use USP approved (food-grade) ingredients and USP/FDA approved (pharmaceutical-grade) nicotine. The primary ingredients in e-liquids are vegetable glycerin (a carbohydrate derived from plant oils), propylene glycol (an organic diol alcohol compound recognized as generally safe for human consumption by the FDA), and nicotine. However it should be noted that many of our liquids are also nicotine FREE. Most juices include water, natural and artificial-based flavorings as well. We'd be happy to provide more comprehensive ingredient lists for any of our vendors upon request, but most appear right on the bottles. We also carry a large selection of nicotine salts.
Do you mix your own liquids?
ALL of our e-liquids are made in the US using only the safest ingredients. We do NOT self-mix liquids at our shop to increase our profit margins... rather we have aligned ourselves with only the best and highest rated e-juice vendors in the country that operate in clean-room, safe environments and have been in business since the beginning of this movement.
Can I sample the e-liquids at your store?
At this time, we do not (due to COVID-19 restrictions and recent FDA guidance). Typically under normal circumstances we do not allow any smoking or combustible products in the store, but vaping is certainly allowed and encouraged. Once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, vaping will be welcomed again in the store. However our TASTING BAR may remain closed indefinitely. If possible, customers can “smell-test” certain flavors/products, and our digital menu (with detailed flavor descriptions) should be back up and running shortly.
What is nicotine and how is it used in these products?
Nicotine is an alkaloid found in the nightshade family of plants. It is a stimulant drug with known addictive qualities. Nicotine is included in many of the oils that we sell, but present in measurable quantities (unlike with cigarettes where these levels vary dramatically). Therefore thru more measurable amounts, we aim for our customers to have the means to monitor their intake more effectively. We also stock 0mg nicotine oils and carry nothing above 18mg in freebase form. We carry a large selection of disposables and nicotine salts as well ranging from 18mg to 50mg strength.
Are vaporizers different than cigarettes?
The primary difference is combustion, which is a chemical reaction that occurs when tobacco is ignited. Since vaporizers use a heating element rather than generating combustion, you essentially are eliminating dozens of carcinogens present when smoking tobacco products. Vapor also produces no tar or offensive odors. We carry a HUGE selection of products for use with either liquid, salt, dry-blend, or concentrate.
Can using e-cigarettes and vaporizers help me to quit smoking?
The FDA has pending/proposed regulations that prevent vendors and wholesale suppliers from making any claims that would suggest this. However everybody's experience using vapor technology can be different and we prefer to let our customers make that determination for themselves.
How old do you have to be to purchase these products?
You must be 18 years of age to enter our store(s); and 21 years of age to purchase any “tobacco” or nicotine-based products.
