For Consumers

• Stock up on your preferred brands before October 18 — existing inventory is legal to sell until then
• Research refillable pod systems as a long-term alternative to disposables
• Check the state's ENDS directory to see if your usual brand is approved
• Note that online purchases of non-directory products shipped to PA addresses will also be illegal
• Personal possession of unlisted products is not penalized — only retail sales are targeted
• Consider switching to an approved brand like Juul, Vuse Alto, or NJoy Ace if you want to buy locally
• If you primarily use disposables, explore our refillable pod vape comparison for alternatives

For Retailers

• Pull all non-directory products from shelves by end of business October 18
• Review the AG's published FAQ on legal disposal options for unsold inventory
• Submit any pending manufacturer applications through the AG's certification portal
• Audit your entire inventory against the 159 approved products on the ENDS directory
• Check the directory monthly — new manufacturers may be added as applications process
• Understand that undercover compliance checks may begin immediately on October 19
• Review our FDA compliance checklist for retailers for broader federal requirements
