Recent actions by the U.S. FDA, such as the seizure of $76 million worth of illegal e-cigarettes, highlight the critical importance of sourcing vape products from compliant and authorized providers. At VapeTM, we prioritize regulatory adherence through our advanced age verification software, smart vending solutions, and educational initiatives to protect both consumers and businesses.

This guide explores how VapeTM’s comprehensive resources—including the Smart Vending Buyers Guide and Vape Vending Compliance Guide—help customers navigate complex vaping regulations while avoiding risks associated with illegal products.

Why Were Geek Bar Products Seized?

• Lack of FDA Authorization: The seized products did not meet FDA premarket authorization requirements for U.S. sales.
• Appeal to Youth: Flavored designs and marketing tactics targeted young users, violating strict FDA guidelines.
• Smuggling and Mislabeling: Importers attempted to bypass detection by misdeclaring shipments, violating federal import laws.
