The new tariff threat The US government recently announced a 34% tariff increase on Chinese imports. Here’s what this means for American vapers:
- China manufactures most of the world’s vapes - restricting imports could lead to shortages.
- Tariffs are likely to be passed on to consumers, making devices and e-liquids more expensive.
- Some brands may exit the US market due to rising costs, reducing available options.
We should stock up now Prices are about to rise (new tariffs come into effect on 10 April).Future bans could make vaping harder (better safe than sorry):
- Buy extra pods/devices before costs rise.
- Watch for sales - some retailers may be discounting stock ahead of the tariff.
- Consider refillable systems (although US made options may be more expensive).
Final warning:
Don’t wait - with tariffs looming and potential shortages ahead, now is the time to stock up. Waiting could mean paying more - or worse, being stuck without your favourite products.
