Age Verification and Shipping Restrictions

Vaping products are regulated in Canada. Purchases from Kootenay Vape Shop are restricted to adults of legal age, and shipping is subject to provincial regulations. This page outlines what to expect when purchasing online.

Age Requirements

The legal minimum age to purchase vaping products in Canada varies by province:

British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Yukon: 19 years or older
Alberta, Quebec: 18 years or older

All KVS online store visitors must pass an age confirmation gate before accessing product listings or completing a purchase.

Shipping Eligibility

Vaping product regulations vary by province and continue to evolve. At checkout, enter your delivery postal code to confirm whether KVS can ship to your address. Shipping eligibility is determined at the time of order based on current provincial rules.

KVS ships from its Kootenays distribution point. Orders to BC and other western provinces typically have shorter transit times.

Delivery and ID Requirements

Canada Post and courier services handling regulated products may require:

A signature from an adult of legal age at the delivery address
Government-issued photo ID confirming age if requested by the carrier

If no eligible adult is available at delivery, the shipment may be held at the local post office or depot for pickup with ID. Tracking information will indicate the pickup location and hold period.

In-Store Purchases

At all four KVS locations (Trail, Creston, Kimberley, Grand Forks), government-issued photo ID proving legal age is required before any vaping product purchase. This includes e-liquid, devices, coils, pods, and accessories.
