FAQs
What are the new regulations for vaping in NZ?
The New Zealand Government has introduced significant amendments to the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990 in an effort to curb youth vaping. These changes include stricter regulations on advertising, retail visibility, penalties for selling to minors, and a complete ban on disposable vapes. READ MORE.
How does VapeCycle work?
To participate in our VapeCycle program, simply drop your used pods, devices and e-liquid bottles off at any of VAPO’s 30+ vape shops across New Zealand, or download a shipping label to mail used products directly to TerraCycle for FREE!
Can I bring vapes into Australia?
If you’re visiting Australia, you may bring a small quantity of vapes under a traveller’s exemption. The vapes must be for use in the treatment of the traveller or someone the traveller is caring for, who is entering Australia on the same ship or aircraft.
The maximum allowable quantity is:
- 2 vapes
- 20 vape accessories (including cartridges, capsules or pods), and
- 200 mL of vape substance in liquid form.
