The first location opened in 2013, and it also doubled as a vape lounge where people could relax and vape. After the initial success of the first shop, a second opened in 2019.

Vape City Delivery Options

Vape City can deliver items to any address in the continental US as well as to Armed Forces locations. The company currently does not offer international shipping. Shipping costs are determined at checkout, as users have to fill in their information and then get a price estimate. Typical shipping time ranges from 3-5 business days, but users will have to check with the store or carrier for more accurate arrival time.

Deals and Discounts

The company does not offer any dedicated discounts for members of the armed forces (active-duty or veteran), nor does it feature discounts for law enforcement of first responders. The site does offer discounts on selected items on their Special Sales page, as well as offering half off of all e-juices (at the moment, it may change later). The e-juice deal is buying one and getting half off a second bottle, which, again, is a limited time offer.

Guarantees and Warranties

There are no specific warranties or guarantees offered by the company at the moment. Users have the option of returning defective or damaged items to the store if they notify a customer service representative.

Customer Service

The store has mostly positive reviews from customers both in person and on the website.

I love the written word, and in my career as a journalist, I strive to provide the facts about everything I write about. There are too many false and alarmist stories out there about life and vaping mainly. My mission is to make e-cigarettes less scary to people with informative articles and extensive research on not only the possible evils of cigarettes and Big Tobacco, but the objective side of e-cigs.
