Vape Wholesale for Convenience Stores and Gas Stations in Canada
Convenience stores, gas stations, forecourt retailers and multi-location C-store operators need a vape supplier that understands both product demand and Canada’s province-specific retail rules.
Pacific Smoke International provides Canadian convenience and gas retailers with wholesale access to disposable vapes, closed pod systems, e-liquids, devices and accessories. Available products depend on the province, store format, flavour restrictions, licensing requirements and applicable excise stamp.
Use the provincial guide below to identify the types of vaping products your location may be eligible to carry, then create a wholesale account to view products available for your market.
Vape Supply Built for Convenience and Gas Retail
A convenience store vape assortment should be straightforward to stock, easy for employees to understand and appropriate for the province in which the store operates.
Pacific Smoke International supports independent retailers, gas stations, convenience store chains and multi-location operators with:
- Wholesale access to recognized Canadian vape brands
- Disposable, closed pod, e-liquid and hardware categories
- Product options for different provincial markets
- Canada-wide shipping and expedited delivery options
- Dedicated wholesale account support
- Assortment planning for independent and multi-location retailers
Available brands and product lines include Flavour Beast, Level X, ALLO, Drip’n, Kraze and other established vaping brands. Product and flavour availability varies by province and store type.
What Vape Products Can Convenience Stores and Gas Stations Sell in Canada?
The short answer is that it depends on the province and the type of store.
A conventional convenience store or gas station usually allows minors to enter. Some provinces therefore permit these stores to carry only certain flavours, while broader flavour selections may be restricted to adult-only specialty vape stores. Prince Edward Island takes a different approach and restricts nicotine vaping product sales to designated tobacconist shops.
Across Canada, nicotine-containing vaping products cannot exceed 20 mg/mL. Packaged vaping products must also carry the correct federal or province-specific excise stamp for the market in which they will be sold.

Retailers should verify requirements before ordering or listing a product for sale.
Vape Wholesale by Province and Territory
Alberta Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
Conventional convenience stores and gas stations in Alberta can carry federally compliant vaping products across disposable, closed pod, e-liquid, device and accessory categories. Alberta has not established a province-wide flavour restriction equivalent to those in Ontario, British Columbia or Quebec.
Products containing nicotine must comply with the federal 20 mg/mL limit and carry the Alberta vaping excise stamp. Retailers must also follow Alberta’s age, display, promotion and sales requirements.
Pacific Smoke International supports retailers in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Grande Prairie, Fort McMurray and communities throughout Alberta.
British Columbia Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
British Columbia treats an all-ages convenience or gas location differently from an adult-only specialty vape store. Where minors may enter, the store may carry tobacco-flavoured vaping products but no other flavoured restricted e-substances.
Retailers must also account for British Columbia’s notice, reporting, packaging, promotion and display requirements. Product formats should be reviewed against the current E-Substances Regulation before being stocked.
Pacific Smoke International can help British Columbia retailers identify tobacco-series disposables, pods, e-liquids and supporting hardware available for their market.
Manitoba Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
Under the rules in force as of July 29, 2026, Manitoba convenience and gas retailers can carry federally compliant vaping products across the major flavour and product categories.
Retailers should watch the status of Bill 54. The proposed legislation would restrict most flavoured e-substances in businesses that allow children to enter within prescribed major urban areas. Tobacco flavour would be exempt. The bill had not received Royal Assent and would require proclamation to come into force at the time of this review.
Manitoba orders must use the appropriate Manitoba vaping excise stamp.
New Brunswick Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
New Brunswick convenience stores and gas stations require an Electronic Cigarette Sales Outlet Licence to sell vaping products.
Permitted assortments should focus on tobacco-flavoured and unflavoured products. Depending on available province-ready inventory, this can include disposable formats, closed pods, bottled e-liquids, devices and accessories.
Products destined for New Brunswick must carry the New Brunswick vaping excise stamp.
Newfoundland and Labrador Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
Retailers selling vapour products in Newfoundland and Labrador require a Vapour Products Retailer Licence. Under the rules reviewed for this guide, conventional retailers can carry the federally compliant flavour range.
Eligible categories may include disposable vapes, prefilled and closed pod systems, bottled e-liquids, devices and accessories. Packaged vaping products destined for Newfoundland and Labrador use the peach-coloured Canada excise stamp.
Pacific Smoke International supports retailers in St. John’s, Mount Pearl, Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor and surrounding communities.
Nova Scotia Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
Nova Scotia convenience stores and gas stations require a Vaping Products Retail Vendor’s Permit. The province prohibits flavoured vaping products, so assortments should focus on tobacco and flavourless series.
Available formats may include select disposable devices, closed pods, compatible devices, e-liquids and accessories. Products sold in Nova Scotia must carry the Nova Scotia vaping excise stamp.
Pacific Smoke International provides focused product options for retailers operating in Halifax, Dartmouth, Sydney, Truro, New Glasgow, Amherst, Bridgewater, Yarmouth, Kentville and other Nova Scotia communities.
Ontario Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
Ontario convenience stores and gas stations may sell tobacco, mint and menthol-flavoured vapour products. Other flavoured vaping products are restricted to specialty vape stores and other specifically authorized retail channels.
A conventional Ontario store can build an assortment from eligible disposable products, prefilled pods, closed pod systems, e-liquids, devices and accessories within the permitted flavour range. Nicotine products must carry the Ontario vaping excise stamp.
Pacific Smoke International supports convenience and gas retailers throughout Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa, Hamilton, London, Windsor and the rest of Ontario.
Prince Edward Island Convenience Store and Gas Station Rules
A conventional Prince Edward Island convenience store or gas station cannot sell nicotine vaping products. Provincial rules permit nicotine vaping products to be sold only inside designated tobacconist shops that meet the applicable adult-only operating requirements.
Even within a designated tobacconist shop, only tobacco-flavoured nicotine vaping products are permitted. Retailers should not treat an ordinary C-store tobacco licence as authorization to sell nicotine vaping products.
Pacific Smoke International recommends confirming tobacconist designation with the Government of Prince Edward Island before purchasing nicotine vaping inventory.
Quebec Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
Quebec permits only tobacco-flavoured or unflavoured vaping products. The restriction applies across retail channels, including specialty vape stores.
Quebec also imposes product-capacity requirements, including a maximum 2 mL capacity for certain tanks and capsules and a maximum 30 mL capacity for refill containers. Nicotine concentration cannot exceed 20 mg/mL.
Convenience and gas retailers can consider province-compliant disposable products, pods, e-liquids, devices and accessories carrying the Quebec vaping excise stamp.
Saskatchewan Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
Saskatchewan convenience stores and gas stations where people under 19 may enter can sell tobacco, mint and menthol-flavoured vaping products. Most other flavours are restricted to adult-only specialty vape shops.
Eligible conventional-retail products may include disposables, prefilled and closed pods, e-liquids, compatible devices and accessories within the permitted flavour range.
Packaged vaping products destined for Saskatchewan use the peach-coloured Canada excise stamp.
Yukon Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
Yukon convenience and gas retailers can carry federally compliant vaping products across major product and flavour categories, subject to current territorial sales, promotion and display requirements.
Businesses cannot display or promote vaping products where youth could be present. Products intended for the Yukon market must carry the Yukon vaping excise stamp.
Pacific Smoke International supports retailers in Whitehorse, Dawson City and communities throughout the territory.
Northwest Territories Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
The Northwest Territories prohibits the sale of flavoured vaping products other than tobacco flavour. Conventional convenience and gas retailers should therefore focus on tobacco-series and unflavoured products.
Eligible formats may include compliant disposables, closed pods, e-liquids, devices and accessories. Nicotine products must carry the Northwest Territories vaping excise stamp.
Pacific Smoke International can help retailers in Yellowknife, Hay River, Inuvik and other communities evaluate available products for the territorial market.
Nunavut Convenience Store and Gas Station Vape Wholesale
Nunavut prohibits vapour products that have or are represented as having a distinguishing flavour other than tobacco. Conventional retailers should plan around tobacco-series and unflavoured products.
Eligible formats may include province-ready disposable products, closed pods, e-liquids, devices and accessories. Products intended for sale in Nunavut must carry the Nunavut vaping excise stamp.
Pacific Smoke International supports retail businesses in Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet, Cambridge Bay and communities across Nunavut.
Wholesale Vape Product Categories for C-Stores and Gas Stations
Disposable Vapes
Disposable devices provide a self-contained format that is straightforward for store employees and adult customers to understand. The specific disposable models and flavours a store can carry depend on its province and retail format.
Closed Pod Systems
Closed pod systems combine a compatible device with replaceable prefilled pods. They can give retailers a structured product ecosystem while keeping the assortment more focused than a large open-system category.
Bottled E-Liquids
E-liquids support adult customers using compatible refillable devices. Bottle size, flavour and nicotine concentration must be appropriate for the province where the product will be sold.
Devices and Accessories
Devices, batteries, chargers, replacement glass and other accessories can support a more complete vape assortment. Retailers should confirm that every device, component and packaged product is eligible for their particular sales channel.
Building a Practical Convenience Store Vape Assortment
A strong C-store assortment does not require every available device, brand or flavour. It requires a focused selection appropriate for the store’s province and customer base.
Start by:
-
Confirming that the location is permitted to sell nicotine vaping products.
-
Identifying the flavour categories allowed in that store format.
-
Verifying licences, permits and registrations.
-
Selecting products with the correct destination excise stamp.
-
Choosing a focused mix of disposable and closed pod formats.
-
Adding compatible devices and a limited selection of essential accessories.
-
Training employees on age verification, display and sales requirements.
-
Reviewing sell-through before expanding the assortment.
Multi-location operators should build different product lists for provinces with different flavour or stamping requirements. Inventory should not be transferred between provincial markets without confirming that the products and excise stamps remain appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can convenience stores sell vapes in Canada?
Convenience stores can sell vaping products in most Canadian provinces and territories, but the permitted flavours, licences, product formats and excise stamps vary. Prince Edward Island restricts nicotine vaping product sales to designated tobacconist shops.
Can gas stations sell flavoured vapes?
It depends on the province. Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon and, under rules in force on July 29, 2026, Manitoba allow a broader federally compliant flavour range. Ontario and Saskatchewan limit conventional retailers to tobacco, mint and menthol. British Columbia permits tobacco flavour in all-ages stores. Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut have broader flavour prohibitions. Ordinary Prince Edward Island gas stations cannot sell nicotine vaping products.
Can a C-store carry the same products as a specialty vape store?
Not always. Ontario, British Columbia and Saskatchewan allow adult-only specialty vape stores to carry products that conventional retailers cannot. Prince Edward Island restricts nicotine vaping products to designated tobacconist shops. Other provinces apply the same flavour rules across retail channels.
What vape products are usually suitable for convenience stores?
Depending on provincial rules, suitable categories may include disposable vapes, prefilled pods, closed pod systems, compact devices, bottled e-liquids and essential accessories. Every SKU should be reviewed for flavour, packaging, nicotine concentration and excise-stamp eligibility.
Do convenience stores need a licence to sell vapes?
Licensing varies. New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia have specific licence or permit requirements. Other jurisdictions may use notices, registrations, tobacco retail licences or municipal requirements. Retailers should check with their provincial regulator and local municipality.
What nicotine strength can Canadian retailers sell?
Federal regulations cap the nicotine concentration of vaping products manufactured or imported for sale in Canada at 20 mg/mL.
Which excise stamp does my store need?
Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, Alberta, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut use province- or territory-specific vaping excise stamps. British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador currently use the peach-coloured Canada stamp.
Does Pacific Smoke International supply multi-location retailers?
Yes. Pacific Smoke International offers wholesale services and account support for independent stores and multi-location retail businesses. Product lists should be separated by destination province where flavour or excise requirements differ.
