READ ME - OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
ECBLEND AGE-VERIFIES buyers of nicotine products for compliance of at least 18 and older depending on your state or locality (21+ for the United States). This ''may'' delay your first order until we have verified your account. (We also retroactively verify existing accounts as new orders are placed.)
This process will, in most cases, be seamless and transparent to you! We do all the work, and will only contact you if there is an issue.
- Once we have verified your account through a third-party verification system, your account is marked as "verified". This means your account has been successfully verified.
- U.S. and International orders are verified.
- On rare occasions, a customer may be requested by our Customer Service to provide additional details or a copy of their ID. (Personal information may be blocked out for privacy purposes)

HOW WE VERIFY
Verification is often seamless (we do all the work) and often takes only minutes or even seconds.
We are serious about due diligence and prevention of underage access to age-restricted products.
Our age verification solution responsibly compares your account data against billions of records from multiple trusted data sources enabling us to verify age from over 100 countries and covers billions of records instantly. This process gives us the highest levels of compliance and social responsibility to consumers, parents, and law enforcement agencies.
If the initial attempt to verify an individual fails, we escalate to one of our other identity verification solutions, including contacting you to provide proof of age. This is rare, but occasionally will happen. We apologize for the inconvenience in advance, but our age-verification requirements are not negotiable. If it does happen, our Customer Service department is empowered to reward you with additional rewards points on your account after verification for the inconvenience!
AUDITABLE: Our procedures allow us a high degree of confidence that we have verified the right buyer.
IT IS THE LAW
IT IS THE LAW AND OUR POLICY TO NOT SELL TO ANYONE UNDER 18 or the LEGAL AGE TO PURCHASE OR USE VAPING PRODUCTS IN YOUR STATE OR LOCALITY

E-Cigs Can Harm Teens’ Health
Addiction to nicotine matters because using nicotine as a teen may have enduring impacts on attention, learning, and memory,2,3,4 and addiction keeps people using harmful tobacco products. But research shows that many youth underestimate how addictive nicotine is, and have low risk perceptions of products like e-cigarettes.
FDA's Youth Tobacco Prevention Plan—is a series of actions to stop youth use of tobacco products, especially e-cigarettes, with special focus on three key areas:
- Preventing youth access to tobacco products
- Curbing marketing of tobacco products aimed at youth; and
- Educating teens about the dangers of using any tobacco product, including e-cigarettes, as well as educating retailers about their key role in protecting youth
