Federal Nicotine cap in effect July 23rd
The Canadian federal government will be publishing guidance for the federal nicotine cap in their latest Canada Gazette Part II which is set to be released on June 23rd.
In there, we expect the latest Nicotine Concentration in Vaping Products Regulations to be released.
We will no longer be restocking on any e-Liquid, disposable, or pods above 20mg nicotine. We will continue to sell above 20mg until all stock has been depleted. After July 23rd the maximum concentration for all e-liquids, and pods, and disposables will be 20mg.
Retail sale - Vaping Products
2 (1) These regulations apply to every vaping product that is intended for retail sale in Canada, as well as to its packaging.
Vaping Products - otherwise furnished

Coming in to force
The Regulations come into force on the 15th day after the Gazette II is published (July 8th)
Retailers have until the 15th day after the Regulations come into force to liquidate stock.
Based on this data, we expect the nicotine cap to come into effect on July 23rd, 2021.
We will no longer be restocking on any e-Liquid, disposable, or pods above 20mg nicotine. We will continue to sell above 20mg until all stock has been depleted.
