Understanding Vape Costs in Canada
How much is a vape in today’s market? Prices range from 10 to 200+ CAD depending on device type, brand, and provincial taxes. Initial costs include the device itself, while ongoing expenses cover e-liquids, pods, coils, and federal excise duties. For example:
- Federal tax:
* $1.12 per 2 millilitres (mL) or fraction thereof, for the first 10 mL of vaping substance in the vaping device or immediate container
* $1.12 per 10 mL, or fraction thereof, for amounts over the first 10 mL
- Provincial variations: British Columbia imposes 20% vape tax, while Ontario charges 13% HST
- Nicotine caps: Quebec restricts strengths to 20mg/mL, affecting product availability and pricing
