Vapor Authority is an American company, headquartered in sunny San Diego, California. We purchase all of our products directly from the manufacturer or authorized distributor, and store them entirely in-house. Unlike many other retailers who are stationed abroad or drop-ship from China, when your order is placed with Vapor Authority, our team will process, package, and ship your order all from our San Diego location.
WARNING: This Product Contains Nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.
