Built on Compliance
Every Only Vapes machine is engineered around one principle: responsible, legal, age-verified vape retail.
Redefining Responsible Retail
Only Vapes was founded on a simple belief: vape products can be sold responsibly through automation — without sacrificing compliance, safety, or the customer experience.
We partner with venue owners, nightlife operators, and hospitality businesses to place smart vending machines that meet every state and local regulation, so you can generate revenue with zero liability headaches.
Our team brings together expertise in retail technology, regulatory compliance, and hospitality operations to deliver a turnkey solution that works from day one.
21+ Enforcement, Every Single Time
Our machines use multi-layer age verification technology that makes it physically impossible for minors to complete a purchase.
ID Scan
Every transaction begins with a government-issued ID scan. The machine reads and validates the ID in real time — no ID, no sale.
Age Calculation
Our system automatically calculates the buyer's age from the ID data and cross-references it against the 21+ threshold before unlocking the machine.
Facial Match
A live facial recognition check confirms the person presenting the ID matches the photo on file, preventing ID sharing or fraud.
Transaction Logged
Every verified sale is logged with a timestamp, location, and anonymized verification record — creating a full audit trail for compliance reporting.
We Handle the Regulatory Heavy Lifting
Vape retail regulations vary dramatically by state and municipality. Only Vapes stays ahead of every change so our venue partners never have to worry.
Licensing & Permits
We manage all required retail vending licenses and ensure every machine placement is fully permitted under applicable state and local law.
Tax Compliance
All applicable excise taxes, vape taxes, and sales taxes are calculated and remitted automatically. Venues receive clean revenue with no tax exposure.
Placement Restrictions
We only place machines in venues that meet zoning and proximity requirements — no schools, no minors-admitted venues, no restricted zones.
Ongoing Updates
Our compliance team monitors regulatory changes in every market we operate. When laws change, our machines and processes update automatically.
