The news has been buzzing lately: Denver officially passed a flavored vape and flavored nicotine ban, and enforcement begins January 1, 2026. That means all flavored disposables, e-liquids, pods, menthols, and anything with a taste other than plain tobacco will no longer be sold inside Denver city limits.
For many adult vapers, this is frustrating. For local vape shops, it’s devastating. And for anyone who relies on flavored disposables or liquids to stay away from cigarettes, it feels like a step backward.
But here’s the good news:
Cloud Craft Vapes is located in Aurora and flavored vapes remain completely legal here.
So if Denver stops selling them, we’ve got you.
What Exactly Is the Denver Flavor Ban?
Denver’s new ordinance bans the sale of any flavored tobacco or nicotine product within the city. The definition is extremely broad, if it tastes or smells like anything other than plain tobacco, it falls under the ban.
This includes:
-
All flavored disposable vapes
-
Menthol vapes
-
Fruit, mint, dessert, candy, and drink flavors
-
Flavored e-liquids and salts
-
Any nicotine product with a non-tobacco flavor
The ban was approved by voters and will officially be enforced starting January 1, 2026.
Once enforcement begins, no shop in Denver will be allowed to carry flavored vapes at all. Not even “adult-only” vape stores.
We Fought Hard to Keep Flavors Available
At Cloud Craft Vapes, we believe adult customers deserve choices, especially flavors that help many stay away from cigarettes. We supported efforts to prevent this ban from passing.
We talked with customers, participated in discussions, and stood alongside other shops trying to protect adult access.
Unfortunately, the ban still passed.
But while Denver decided to eliminate flavored vapes, Aurora did NOT.
And that’s a big deal.
Aurora Is NOT Affected- You Can Still Buy Your Favorite Vapes Here
Because the law only applies to Denver, nearby cities like Aurora, Centennial, Thornton, Englewood, and others are not included.
That means:
-
Flavored disposables are still legal in Aurora
-
Flavored e-liquids are still legal in Aurora
-
You can legally shop at Cloud Craft Vapes for all your favorite products
We’re only a short drive from many Denver neighborhoods, so for thousands of vapers, we’ll become the new go-to shop when the ban kicks in.
We’re already preparing for increased demand and making sure our shelves stay stocked with the brands and flavors you love.
Why So Many Denver Vapers Are Planning to Shop in Aurora
Once flavored vapes disappear from Denver, adult vapers have two options:
-
Switch to tobacco-only flavors
-
Visit a nearby city that still allows flavors
Most people know exactly which one they’re choosing.
Aurora is close, accessible, and home to shops like Cloud Craft Vapes that specialize in safe, authentic, quality-controlled products. Not the random gas-station options that many vapers are worried about.
We welcome anyone from Denver who still wants access to:
-
Great Disposable Flavors
-
Nicotine salts & E-Juice
-
Menthol and mint options
-
New 2025–2026 product releases
What Happens Next?
Here’s what to expect as January 2026 approaches:
✔ Denver shops will start phasing out flavored products
✔ Prices and stock will shift dramatically inside city limits
✔ More adult vapers will travel to Aurora or order online from out-of-city retailers
✔ Cloud Craft Vapes will continue carrying a full flavor selection
✔ We’ll keep customers informed on any future changes affecting Aurora
We’re committed to serving our community and standing up for adult access.
