Who runs Vape Shop Near Me

Vape Shop Near Me was started by Jubair Khalid in 2015, opening our first store on Commercial Drive after seeing how much of the Vancouver vape market ran on grey-market stock and counter staff who couldn’t answer a basic question about what they were selling. Jubair set out to build something different: a shop where every product is sourced properly, staff actually know the devices and juices they carry, and customers never have to wonder if what they’re buying is genuine.

Ten years later, that standard still runs across all four Vancouver locations.

Why we exist

Vancouver’s vape market has a counterfeit problem. Grey-market disposables – knockoffs of Elf Bar, Flavour Beast, and other popular brands circulate through convenience stores and online sellers at prices that look too good to be true, because the products inside often aren’t what the label says. Vape Shop Near Me was built specifically to fix that: every product we carry comes through direct, authorized Canadian distributor relationships, not grey-market importers. When you buy from us, what’s on the label is what’s in the device.

What “authentic” actually means here

We don’t just say “100% authentic” here’s what backs it up:

• Direct distributor relationships with authorized Canadian distributors, not third-party resellers
• Health Canada compliance on every product — nicotine content, packaging, and age-verification requirements
• Batch/lot tracking so any product issue can be traced back to source
• Staff trained to spot counterfeit packaging, so if something doesn’t look right, it doesn’t go on our shelves

A note on responsible use

Vaping products contain nicotine, which is addictive. We verify age (19+) on every order, in-store and online, and we’re glad to talk through nicotine strength options with anyone switching from smoking or looking to step down their intake — that’s a conversation our staff has daily, not a canned disclaimer.
