At Vape X, we’re committed to delivering great value along with top-tier vape products. But lately, you may have noticed prices creeping up across the board. We want to take a moment to explain why this is happening, and more importantly, what we’re doing to help.

 

Taxes, Transport, and Demand: The New Reality for Vaping in Canada

The vaping industry in Canada is changing fast. With more adult users turning to vaping as an alternative, the market has grown—but so have the challenges. From new government tax policies to rising logistics costs, multiple factors are driving prices higher across retailers nationwide.

 

Excise Taxes: What They Are & How They Impact You

One of the biggest contributors to price increases is the Federal and Provincial Excise Tax system, which now applies to virtually all vape products in Canada.

  • Federal Excise Tax: Charged per mL of e-liquid, regardless of format (disposables, pods, or bottled).

  • Provincial Taxes: Certain provinces (like BC, Ontario, Quebec) have layered on additional taxes, raising retail prices even further.

These taxes are intended to regulate the industry and discourage youth usage—but they’ve also added significant cost burdens for adult consumers and vape businesses alike.

 

Shipping Costs: The Hidden Hike Behind Every Order

With online orders surging in popularity—especially for unique flavors and bulk purchases—the demand on shipping infrastructure has skyrocketed.

  • Higher Carrier Rates: Delivery providers have increased their pricing, particularly for heavier items like 20K+ puff vapes or multi-pack cartons.

  • Fuel Surcharges & Inflation: Rising fuel prices and inflation are now part of every shipment.

  • Remote Deliveries: Rural and less-accessible areas cost more and take longer to reach, adding further to fulfillment costs.
