According to current UK legislation, our products can only be purchased and shipped to people over the age of 18. We are required to verify the age of any new customers.

This guide explains why this is necessary and how we verify your age. More information can also be found on our terms of service and privacy policy pages.

Why do you need to verify my age?

We appreciate that this may be frustrating, and you may be unhappy sharing your personal information. However, the law exists to protect those below a minimum legal age. The following bodies are responsible for enforcing these rules in the UK:

Department of Health & Social Care

On 1 October 2015, it became illegal for adults to buy (or try to buy) tobacco products or e-cigarettes for someone under 18.

Trading Standards

All retailers are responsible for ensuring they do not sell age-restricted products online to people under the minimum legal age.

How do we verify your age?

The system carries out as few checks as possible. In most cases, your age can be verified instantly, and your Vapier UK order will be shipped normally.

What information do you need?

To verify your age, we require your full name, current address, and mobile phone number when placing your first order with us. When purchasing from us, the billing address you provide will be your current home address. It’s essential to ensure that the billing address on your account reflects your current home address. In some circumstances, we may also require your date of birth to assist with the verification process.
