WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

As regulation deadlines approach:

  1. We will be introducing new Vaping Devices which meet the updated regulations, so you can try them out ahead of time
  2. All of our E-Liquids will be given brand new names, with a reference to the old names in the flavour descriptions, for easy accessibility

2020 Vapes is committed to helping customers navigate smoothly through these upcoming regulations. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
