Can you buy a vape battery as a minor?

Vape pens are increasingly accepted by more and more people as a relaxing tool, but purchasing these tools varies by age, which has also raised concerns and doubts about their safety. So the question is: Can minors buy vape batteries?

Firstly, we need to clarify one thing. When we talk about vape pens, we usually refer to tanks that consist of three parts: a battery, a heating device, and a tank for storing e-liquid. Therefore, before answering this question, we need to discuss each of these three parts one by one.

For vape batteries themselves, in fact, minors can buy vape batteries. This is because batteries themselves are not considered as tobacco or nicotine products. Therefore, as an independent component, it can be purchased by minors. But at the same time, we need to realize that batteries are a major component of vape pens. If a teenager has not reached the age to purchase equipment, then they cannot purchase the entire device, as this is considered to be purchasing and owning tobacco or nicotine products to some extent.

That is to say, although the battery itself can be purchased by minors, if you have not reached the legal age to purchase the entire device, you cannot assemble the battery and other devices, which is also a restriction for minors.

So, what about heating devices and tanks storing e-liquid? These devices are typically considered tobacco products or nicotine products. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, minors are unable to purchase these products without accompanying adults. In the United States, federal law prohibits minors from purchasing tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes. Although the specific legal regulations for minors purchasing electronic cigarettes vary in different regions, this restriction is usually in accordance with federal regulations.

Overall, although minors can purchase vape batteries, if they cannot purchase and own the entire device, then the battery is useless. On the other hand, heating devices and tanks for storing e-liquid are often considered tobacco or nicotine products that minors cannot purchase. Therefore, for ourselves and younger friends, we should work harder to understand and master the safe use of this product, and use and protect it correctly.
