Lavamonster Vape sells nicotine products to adults aged 21 and over. This page explains how our age verification works, what you need to complete a purchase, what happens if verification fails, and the health warnings that apply to every device we sell.

We publish this in full because the rules matter. Nicotine is addictive, these products are not for children or non-users, and the age limit is not a formality we can wave through.

The 21+ Age Requirement

United States federal law sets the minimum age for buying tobacco and nicotine products at 21. We apply that limit to every order, every delivery and every replacement shipment, with no exceptions for repeat customers, family members or long-term accounts.

• You must be 21 or over to place an order
• You must be 21 or over to accept delivery
• The name on the order must match the eligible purchaser
• Photo identification may be required at checkout or at the door
• Purchasing for someone under 21 is prohibited and ends the account

Full regulatory detail on retail sales of tobacco products, including the federal minimum age, is published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and in the FDA’s retail sales guidance.

How Verification Works At Checkout

Verification runs automatically when you place an order. Our system checks the name, date of birth and billing address against a third-party identity database. An adult signature and photo identification check may be required on delivery for orders flagged by the system.

Stage	What happens	Why
Checkout	Age and identity data checked automatically	Confirm the buyer is 21+
Before dispatch	Failed or ambiguous checks flagged for review	Avoid an unlawful sale
On delivery	Signature or ID check where required	Confirm the recipient is 21+
On replacement	The same checks apply again	A replacement is still a sale

We keep the minimum verification data necessary, and we retain it only for the period the law requires. Our Privacy Policy explains how that data is handled.

If Verification Fails

If we cannot confirm that you are 21 or over, the order is not dispatched. Depending on the stage, it is either cancelled or held while you provide additional identification. If you believe the check produced a false negative, contact us with your order number and we will review it manually.

1. We notify you by email that the order needs attention
2. You reply with the requested identification or correction
3. We re-run the check or escalate for manual review
4. If it still does not verify, the order is cancelled and refunded

Repeated failures, or a pattern that suggests an attempt to buy on behalf of a minor, result in a permanent block on the account and the delivery address. Refund outcomes for cancelled orders are set out in our Refund Policy.

Nicotine And Health Warnings

Every product we sell contains nicotine, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. Product labels carry this warning, and we repeat it here so it is visible before checkout rather than only on the packaging.

• Nicotine is addictive – do not start using it if you do not already
• Not for use by anyone under 21, by non-smokers or by non-vapers
• Not for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding
• Not for people with heart conditions, high blood pressure or diabetes without medical advice
• Keep devices and pods away from children and pets at all times
• Report nicotine poisoning symptoms – nausea, vomiting, dizziness – to a medical professional

These products are not medicines and are not approved smoking cessation devices. No claim is made that they will help you quit smoking. Health information about tobacco and nicotine is published by the CDC, and research information is available from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Preventing Youth Access

Underage sales are prohibited. We do not market to minors, we do not run campaigns aimed at young audiences, and we do not sell to anyone who cannot prove they are 21 or over. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe a minor has ordered from us, contact us immediately and we will cancel the order, refund it and act on the account.

Underage vaping is a public health concern that regulators track closely. Federal reporting and enforcement routes are set out by the FDA, including how to report a retailer that sells to minors.

Delivery And Recipient Requirements

Deliveries require an adult aged 21 or over at the address. Carriers may ask for photo identification and a signature. If no eligible adult is available, the parcel may be returned, and redelivery or refunds are then handled under our standard shipping and returns terms.

Safe Storage And Use

• Read the manufacturer’s instructions on the pack before first use
• Store devices cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
• Charge rechargeable devices with the correct cable and never leave them unattended
• Do not disassemble, puncture or modify a device or battery
• Dispose of used devices responsibly and never in household recycling unless accepted locally
• If a battery swells, overheats or smells unusual, stop using it and dispose of it safely

Questions About Eligibility

If you are unsure whether you are eligible to buy, ask before ordering through the contact page. It is much easier to answer the question in advance than to cancel an order after payment. Trade buyers should review the wholesale requirements as well, because business accounts are verified through the same age and identity checks.
