Terms of Use

These Terms of Use describe how you may access and use VapePicks (the “Site”) and the content we publish about e-cigarettes, vape devices, and related products. By using this Site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the Site.

The Site is intended only for adults who are legally permitted to use nicotine products in their jurisdiction. If you are under the legal age for nicotine in your region, you must not use this Site.

1. Who This Site Is For

VapePicks is designed for:

  • Adults who already use nicotine and want practical information about vape devices

  • Adult readers comparing devices, formats, and features

  • Adult readers checking how a product performed in our structured tests

This Site does not:

  • Encourage anyone to start using nicotine

  • Provide recommendations for minors

  • Provide tailored medical or mental-health advice

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have known heart or lung disease, you should speak to a licensed healthcare professional before using any nicotine product. Our content cannot replace that conversation.

2. How You May Use VapePicks Content

Unless we say otherwise, all articles, images, charts, and other materials on VapePicks are for personal, non-commercial use.

You may:

  • Read and view content on the Site for your own information

  • Share links to our pages on social media, email, or messaging apps

  • Quote short excerpts with proper attribution and a link back to the original page

You may not, without our prior written permission:

  • Copy or reproduce large portions of our content on another website, app, or printed material

  • Use our content to build or train commercial tools or databases

  • Present our reviews or scores as if they were your own independent findings

  • Use our name, logo, or branding in a way that suggests a formal partnership or endorsement

If you run a website, app, or publication and want to reuse more than short excerpts, you should contact us first and obtain explicit permission.

3. No Medical Advice and No Clinical Relationship

VapePicks provides product testing and user-experience information, not medical, diagnostic, or therapeutic services.

  • Nothing on this Site is a medical opinion, diagnosis, or treatment plan.

  • Nothing on this Site creates a doctor–patient relationship between you and any member of our team, including our clinical advisor, Dr. Adrian Walker.

  • Any references to symptoms (such as cough, throat irritation, or chest discomfort) are described as subjective experiences, not as medical findings.

If you have questions about nicotine addiction, breathing problems, chest pain, long-term cough, heart disease, pregnancy, or any other health issue, you should speak directly with a licensed healthcare professional in your region. You should never delay, avoid, or change medical treatment because of something you read on VapePicks.

4. No Guarantee of Safety, Efficacy, or Smoking Cessation

Vape devices and nicotine products carry risks. On this Site:

  • We do not describe any device or product as “safe,” “harmless,” “risk-free,” or “healthy.”

  • We do not guarantee that any device will help you quit smoking or reduce health risks.

  • We may mention that some users report switching from combustible cigarettes to e-cigarettes, but this is not a recommendation or a promise of benefit.

Any discussion of risk, harm, or regulatory warnings is based on information from public-health bodies and technical reports, not on personal guarantees. Your own risk profile depends on many factors, including your overall health, history of nicotine use, other exposures, and local regulations.

5. Legal and Regulatory Context

VapePicks is created under the legal framework that applies to us, but:

  • Laws and regulations around nicotine, vaping, advertising, and product access vary by country and region.

  • Some devices we discuss may not be legal, registered, or available in your jurisdiction.

  • Age limits, labeling requirements, and product standards differ from place to place.

By using this Site, you agree that:

  • You are responsible for understanding and following the laws and regulations that apply where you live.

  • You will not use VapePicks to bypass or ignore age restrictions, sales limits, or local safety rules.

We do not guarantee that any product mentioned on the Site complies with the rules in your jurisdiction. When in doubt, check with your local authorities or regulators.

6. Content Accuracy, Changes, and No Warranty

We work to keep our content accurate, up to date, and clear. However:

  • Device specs, prices, availability, and regulations can change over time.

  • Manufacturers may update designs, coils, materials, or firmware without advance notice.

  • Our reviews reflect devices as they were tested during a specific time period.

The Site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available” without any guarantee:

  • We do not promise that the Site will always be available, error-free, or free of interruptions.

  • We do not promise that our information will always be complete or current.

You use the Site at your own risk. VapePicks, its authors, editors, and advisors are not liable for:

  • Any decisions you make based on our content

  • Any losses, injuries, or damages related to the use of products we review

  • Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages that might arise from using the Site or following our product suggestions
