We are sorry to say that due to circumstances beyond our control we need to take down our
vape pen accessories and
VB Eleven Pen from our site.
We have updated all our vape pens and vape pen accessories at clearance price to help you stock up. Currently our plan is to leave the VB Eleven Pen line up for two days from this email. If you depend on this pen please consider this warning and invitation to get what you need before the products are taken down.
Please note the credit card processor may have already cut us off today. On the checkout screen please choose "Pay Later" and we will send you an invoice separately that you can pay by credit card or ACH.
The background: Tobacco lobbyists were successful in getting "
PACT Act" legislation passed last year that attempts to redefine all vaporizers as nicotine devices. The wording was snuck into the 2020 Omnibus Act, stating that regardless of what "vape pens" are used for, they are to be regulated as if they were nicotine devices. The regulations are punitive and make it hard for us to survive as a company. For one thing all orders would need 21 year old age-restricted delivery (which adds approximately $20 to each order) and makes it so you cannot receive packages without being physically present. In addition, the act wants us to contact all 50 states and every tribal entity every month to pay a stiff tobacco tax on everything from vape pens to t-shirts and unrelated accessories.
PACT goes into unconstitutional territory by requiring all companies to submit their customers' private data such as address and what they bought. We would never share your data with others, especially because our products have nothing to do with nicotine! Being in California we don't even think our restrictive corporate laws would allow that anyway.
Enforcement of the PACT Act has been delayed, but damage to the industry is happening everywhere. Companies such as UPS, DHL, FedEx, and merchant banks are banning vape pens as fast as they can. We are being threatened right now by certain companies that we rely on to do our business. Even though our vape pens have never worked with nicotine, we need to take them down to avoid the appearance of providing e-cigarettes.
