For months there has been chatter and news reports about banning all flavored vape liquids and devices and last week the FDA finally announced what exactly they will do to combat the “vaping epidemic”. At Olathe Vape Shop, we want to make sure that our customers are informed on the impending ban and when it will actually take effect so that they can plan ahead and stock up.
Vaporizer Store and Vape Pods in Olathe, Gardner and Spring Hill, KS
First of all, not all vape juice is banned. In fact, only flavored pod style vapes and vape pod refills are part of the ban but there are exceptions. Tobacco and menthol flavored pods and pod refills are excluded from the ban which means that we will still stock pod vaporizer and disposable pods but only for those specific flavors. In other words all flavored pod vapes and refills in any other flavors other than tobacco or menthol will not be sold in our vape shop after the close of business January 31, 2020. At Smoke Tokz Olathe Vape Shop, our goal as always is to serve our customers and while we know that many of them will be disappointed with the FDA’s ban, they have stated that it is “temporary” but they haven’t provided a time frame as to how long it will last. According to the FDA’s website, they are currently implementing some sort of application program and process for manufacturers that will regulate flavored pod vapes in some way, shape or form but little to no details are available just yet as to how that will work. In the meantime, our vape shop will no longer be ordering anymore flavored pod vapes or refills with the exception of tobacco and menthol flavors. We will however continue to sell them until our supply runs out or until the close of business January 31st, 2020. We understand that this is not good news for many of our customers but we truly have no choice in the matter and we will comply with the FDA’s ban on flavored pod vapes. For questions about the flavored vape pod ban or to stock up while you still can, stop by Smoke Tokz Olathe Vape Shop at 151st and Mur Len Road before January 31st, 2020.
