WINNIPEG, MB: Cold Turkey Vape Shop, a trusted Winnipeg provider of vape products, is preparing for excise tax increases in the new year that will impact the price of vape products in Manitoba. Starting in 2025, Manitoba joins Ontario, Quebec, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut as one of the CRA’s specified vaping provinces and enters into a coordinated vaping duty agreement with the federal government that will effectively double the duty rate applied to all vaping products.
Founded by Daniel and David Lofchick in 2014, Cold Turkey Vape Shop has been Winnipeg’s trusted source for all things vape for the past decade. Carrying the city’s largest selection of e-juice as well as an extensive range of products including disposables, salt nicotine, hardware, coils and pods, cannabis accessories, closed-pod systems, freebase e-liquid, and more, its seven locations are popular with veteran vapers and first-timers alike. The Cold Turkey Vape Shop team prides itself on its industry knowledge, high-quality products, and outstanding customer service—always seeking to stay abreast of developments in the Canadian vaping market.
One such major development is the fact that, in 2025, Manitoba, along with New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Alberta, and Yukon, is joining Ontario, Quebec, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut as a CRA-specified vaping province. This means that, effective January 1, 2025, vaping products sold in Manitoba must be stamped with a provincial excise stamp. This stamp will apply an additional provincial vaping duty equal to the federal vaping duty on all vaping products, effectively doubling it. Until March 31, 2025, transitional provisions will still allow for the sale of qualifying vaping products that entered the duty-paid market without provincial excise stamps prior to January 1, 2025. As of April 1, 2025, the new excise tax regulations will take full effect for all vaping products with no exceptions.
The Cold Turkey Vape Shop team is making every effort to educate its customers about the upcoming provincial excise tax increases so that they will know exactly what to expect in the new year.
