Start your day by knowing the basics. The federal minimum age to buy vapes is 21, but some states have stricter limits or require special permits for vendors. For example, a state might require a separate license to sell vaping products, and that affects where you can buy.

Before your first coffee, check your state's age verification rules. Most retailers will ask for ID, but some states have additional requirements, like a photo ID plus a signature. If you're buying online, the retailer must verify your age, and some states prohibit shipping altogether.

What to check:

• Your state's minimum age (federal is 21, but confirm).
• Any special licensing for retailers that might affect where you can buy.
• Online sales restrictions—some states require age verification at delivery.
