Starting January 1, 2024, the state of Texas will implement stricter standards on the packaging of vape products. For more information and background, check out our feature article: Texas Implements Stricter Regulations on Vape Packaging.

The Protecting Children From Electronic Cigarette Advertising Act states that a person may not sell or cause to be sold an e-cigarette container that: 

1. Depicts a cartoon-like fictional character that mimics a character primarily aimed at entertaining minors.  
2. Imitates or mimics trademarks or the trade dress of products that are or have been primarily marketed to minors.  
3. Includes a symbol or celebrity image that is primary used to market products to minors.  
4. Resembles a food product, including candy or juice.  

 

 

Texas Compliant Packaging

The term kid-friendly is bandied about freely by nicotine prohibitionists, but most of the packaging restrictions outlined in the Texas law have long since been embraced by the industry. Mi-Pod Wholesale is the master distributor for many of the top brands in the business and make a point of avoiding companies that egregiously flout regulations. Our disposable vape collection has the freshest inventory, hottest products, and we boast the best customer support as well. 

Unfortunately, a few respected companies that clearly market to adult vapers did slip up. A small image of a mango is just as much of a violation as a vape that is shaped like a juice box or is decorated with the face of a celebrity. How regulators choose to approach such disparate marketing approaches remains to be seen.

Flonq Max Smart

In terms of smart vape features and great performance, the Flonq Max Smart is match for the best brands in the industry. The flavors are the typical and popular stuff most vapers look for. But the biggest feature of the Flonq Max Smart are the three nicotine strength options.

This distinguishes the Flonq Max Smart from the competition and builds great customer loyalty, as there are very few MTL/nic salt style vape juices for draw activated devices that are available nicotine free. Most nicotine free vapes are at least 70 percent VG and designed for mods.

Has all the flavors, performance bells and whistles of a top of the line disposable vape, but also is available in three nicotine strengths. The almost classy and modern technological appearance is a welcome break in a jungle of pastel boxes.

Lost Mary Verdict

Popular beyond belief with a host of amazing flavors that have surpassed even their EBCreate cousins in terms of desirability, the Lost Mary might not have a big LED screen but these designs just work. The work exceedingly well in fact. 

 

 

Spaceman 10K Pro

The Spaceman 10K Pro is a professional grade disposable vape engineered by by one of the biggest names in vaping. Smok technology underpins the Spaceman 10K Pro.

Despite the strange name, this is a robust device with an adult appearance. It is a shame Smok's PRM Bar included fruit images on the box. Luckily, the Spaceman has performance which is out of this world. 

 

 

Orion Bar 10000 by Lost Vape

The big brother of the Orion Bar 7500, the tiled appearance spells out Lost Vape. More germane, the classic Orion Bar airflow control is situated in the same place, the great flavors are present, and a smart display will keep vapers apprised of their situation.

With a basic ergonomic design loaded with features and great performance, is a conservatively designed disposable vape with a strong collection of flavors. With a Smart LED and 18ml capacity, it gives up nothing in terms of performance when compared with its competitors when it comes to flavor and satisfaction. Certainly it is not the flashiest device.

Final Thoughts

If you look at the Texas compliant disposable vape arena, the most credible manufacturers will still be available. Even the cases where fruit images ran afoul of the law, these issues do not impact every model. This is good news for Orion Bar and Smok disposable vape fans. 

The best Texas compliant disposable vapes are all unique enough where they are not totally interchangeable, but there is significant overlap. With the exception of the marvelous Flonq Max Smart, you are always going to be dealing with 5 percent nicotine strength, a 3.7 battery, and nic salt e-liquids. Lost Mary and EBCreate have some nicotine free flavors but do not offer the middle strength of 2 percent. 

It is unfortunate that this law came to pass, no doubt in response to certain brands that relentlessly utilize the IP of established entities and imitate food and beverages.

Surely a small mango graphic on an Orion Bar 7500 wasn't what lawmakers had in mind when passing this law. Rather it was juice boxes, and strange vapes with childish cartoons. Fortunately, similar FDA restrictions have been on the books for years and most of the best brands remain available for adult vapers to enjoy.
