Facebook generally bans ads that promote the sale or use of electronic cigarettes, vaporizers, or other products that simulate smoking. Influencers on the network are also banned from promoting these products.

You should always check the latest rules before promoting vapes on any social media network. You can find some of the rules for different networks here.

Vapes are sold in natural, sweet, tangy, and herby flavors. Depending on the product, there may be dozens of different flavors for your customers to try out.

Vape cartridges are often flavored with terpenes. Terpenes are naturally found in plant oils (including the hemp plant) and are responsible for many of the strong scents and tastes associated with traditional cannabis. 

Natural terpenes provide an authentic flavor for customers who want legal or lighter alternatives. However, not all customers will want their vapes to smell like natural cannabis. You will also be able to find flavors to satisfy these shoppers. 

The concentrate of any popular cannabinoid, such as CBD, can be flavorless. Vapes may be flavored artificially to taste like anything from fruits to popular desserts.

Shipping vapes is a complex matter that may depend on the laws of your particular state.

The USPS and several other private carriers, such as UPS and FedEx, have announced rules that ban the shipping of vape products to individual consumers. These rules ban certain e-cigarettes, vape juices, and e-cig-related products. 

While most of these rules are designed to target tobacco products and distributors, many of them cover items (such as vape batteries) that are used for hemp products.

Compliant CBD and Delta-8 are legal to ship on FedEx, UPS, and DHL, but vaping devices meant to use these products may be covered under different rules.

Vapes containing some materials may not be legal to supply to every state. Before you order Delta-8 vapes, confirm you don’t live in one of the few states they have been made illegal. 

This rule does not prohibit businesses from shipping to businesses. 

You can also ship vapes if you choose a shipping option that requires adult ID verification. This shipping option requires purchasers to present their ID at delivery and prove they are 18 or 21 years of age, depending on the product. 

Carriers charge extra for this service. Some stores pass this charge on to their customers at checkout, while others incorporate it into their prices. 

The effect of any vape will depend on the material inside the cartridge. Delta-8 is often compared to a mild cannabis effect by those who’ve tried it. HHC vapes are described as similar. THC-O vapes have been described by some fans as even stronger than normal cannabis.

Unlike the others mentioned so far, CBD vapes are not psychoactive. Customers who try these vapes often report that they bring on a short-term calming effect.

Your customers will typically enjoy between 100-500 puffs from vapes.

How many times you can puff disposable vapes depends on many factors, including the design of the unit, the size of the cartridge, and how your customers use it.

Design features on the vape may increase or decrease the amount of vapor you can pull from one draw. Some designs allow more airflow, while some batteries will engage safety shutoff earlier than others—preventing long draws. 

Disposable cartridges are also not uniform in size. Vapes are typically sold in one of the following three sizes:

• 0.5g
• 1g
• 2g

The largest sizes have 4x as much material as the smaller sizes, resulting in many more puffs.

User preference may also affect the number of puffs drawn. Many batteries and disposable vapes include temperature controls. Higher heat will typically vaporize more material per puff. Long, heavy draws will also drain the material faster.

Your customers will not have to make other purchases before using a vape if they choose a disposable one. CBD, Delta-8, and most other cannabinoids can be purchased as disposable vapes. These all include both the material and the battery that will be needed to activate the device. 

Most disposable vapes come charged, but there are often charging ports if the customer has a compatible cord. 

To use cartridge vapes, your customers need an existing battery. Batteries range in price from $10-$200+. Many stores that sell vapes also choose to carry batteries or starter kits that include batteries for their vaping customers to purchase. 

Your customers may ask you if a vape will get flagged by the TSA. Vapes are a popular way of unwinding before and after flights, and your customers may want to ensure they won’t lose their new vape when they go through security.

The TSA has banned vapes only from checked luggage. These are the bags stored in the cargo area during the flight. While this may sound like a policy against vapes, the policy is intended to prevent fires from rechargeable batteries. The rules for carry-on vapes are much friendlier.

The TSA allows you to store your vaping device in your carry-on luggage and on your person. It will likely be identified by the metal detector because of its materials. Still, the TSA agent is supposed to return it after inspection (the same inspection your phone or laptop might get). 

Remember that cannabis products are banned, and agents may be required to dispose of any material they suspect to be cannabis. Let your customers know they should ensure vapes can be identified as legal products for TSA agents. Either leave them in packaging or keep receipts.
