As we know, Tokopedia is increasingly restricting the sale of vape products and other tobacco derivatives. As a result, for Android users, vaping products can no longer be searched or accessed directly through the Tokopedia application.

But don't worry, for iOS users, you can still buy vape products directly through the app on your phone. The condition is that you only need to verify your ID card to ensure that you are 21+. For more details, you can read the complete guide in the article How to Buy Vape on Tokopedia via iOS here.

So, what about Android users who are already blocked from the app? No need to fret, because you can still buy vapes by using your phone's browser or via a laptop/PC. The method is very easy and almost similar.

How to Buy Vapes on Tokopedia Android

To make the step-by-step process of purchasing vape products using an Android phone clearer, please refer to the following tutorial:

1. Open the Tokopedia Website in Your Browser

Please visit the site tokopedia.com using Google Chrome or your default browser on your Android phone.

2. Login & Verify Data

For smooth shopping, make sure you have logged in and verified your data using your ID card to prove that you are 21+.

It will be useless if you haven't verified, because later on the product page a '21+ Special Item' warning will appear and you won't be able to proceed with the purchase.

So, it's better to complete the verification process first in the Tokopedia application. If you are confused, you can directly follow the guide How to Automatically Verify Identity for Alcohol & Electronic Cigarette Buyers from Tokopedia.

3. Type Search Keyword

Enter the keyword of the item you are looking for in the search bar, for example, "vape", "Hotcig R99", or the name of your desired product. After that, all vaping products will appear on the screen, and you just choose which one you want to buy.

4. Select Product and Details

Choose the product that best suits your needs. Don't forget to always check the ratings and reviews from previous buyers to be safer. After that, determine the variant, color, or other details as desired.

5. Checkout and Pay for the Product

You can click the button 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart', then complete the process as usual. On the checkout page, make sure you fill in the shipping address details correctly, choose the expedition service, and determine the payment method.

Finally, just click 'Pay Now'. Your order will be processed immediately by the seller and ready to be shipped to your home!

How to Buy Vape on Tokopedia via Laptop/PC

Shopping via laptop actually has its own advantages because the screen is much wider. This makes it easier for you to compare prices between stores, check reviews, and see product details. Overall, the method is almost similar to the browser version on Android:

1. Open the Tokopedia Website in PC Browser

First, open Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or your go-to browser on your laptop, then directly access the site tokopedia.com.

2. Login & Ensure Account is 21+ Verified

Just like on a phone, you must log in to your Tokopedia account. Make sure the account has gone through the ID card verification process for users 21 years and older. If not verified, the vape product you are looking for will still be censored and cannot be checked out.

3. Search for Your Desired Device or Liquid

Type the keyword of the item you are looking for in the search bar at the top. You can directly type something specific like "Oxva Xlim", "ice cream liquid", or just "vape". The screen will automatically display all relevant storefronts without censorship.

4. Select Product & Check Reviews

The advantage of using a laptop is that you can more thoroughly check store ratings and read illustrated reviews from previous buyers. If you are confident in the store's reputation, don't forget to choose the variant (device color or liquid flavor/nicotine) according to your preference.

5. Checkout and Pay

Click the "Buy Now" or "Add to Cart" button. On the checkout page, double-check your shipping address and select the appropriate expedition service. Don't forget to claim any free shipping vouchers or cashback if available! Finally, choose the digital payment method you usually use, then click "Pay Now".

After the payment is complete, your order will be processed immediately by the seller. You just have to sit back and wait for your dream vape package to arrive safely!

Important Tips for Buying Vape on Tokopedia

Before you get excited about checking out your desired items, there are some important tips and advice from Vapeboss that you absolutely must pay attention to:

1. Make sure your browser is always updated

To ensure a smooth search and checkout process without bugs, make sure your Google Chrome app or the default browser you use on Android or PC is updated to the latest version.

If the page suddenly goes blank or errors when you try to pay, try to clear your browser cache in your browser settings.

2. Confirm Stock Availability via Chat

Given that vape products are now heavily restricted, sometimes sellers are slow to update their stock on display.

To avoid paying only to find out the item is out of stock, it's better to get used to chatting with the seller first to confirm the availability of the device color or liquid variant you want.

3. Be a Smart Buyer (21+ Mandatory)

The 21+ rule is not just a formality requirement from Tokopedia, but purely a regulatory rule that we must all adhere to.

Make sure you are indeed of legal age and have verified your account using your own ID card data. Never try to trick the system using someone else's ID card!

4. Do Not Lend Verified Devices to Minors!

If your Tokopedia account on your phone or laptop has been successfully verified as 21+ with an ID card, please guard access to it carefully.

Do not let your device or gadget be indiscriminately borrowed by minors, and then secretly misused to checkout vape items.

Let's be responsible vapers and create a safe vaping ecosystem, purely for adults only!

Conclusion

Well, that's the complete guide on how to buy vape on Tokopedia specifically for Android and Laptop/PC users. Even though it now requires a little effort to open through a browser and mandatory ID card verification, the steps are still very easy to follow, right?
