Review Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Product Selection

We select products to review based on reader interest, market popularity, and editorial judgment. We prioritize products that are widely available to US consumers. We do not guarantee coverage of any product, and brands cannot purchase a review.

How We Obtain Products

Products reviewed on The Vape Lens are obtained in one of the following ways:

• Purchased: We buy the product at retail price, with no brand involvement.
• Press sample: The brand sends us a unit for review at no charge. This is disclosed in the review.
• Loaner: The brand provides a unit temporarily. This is disclosed in the review.

Receiving a press sample does not guarantee a positive review or any review at all.

Testing Methodology

We test products over an extended period under real-world conditions. Our evaluation covers:

• Build quality and materials
• Vapor production and flavor accuracy
• Battery life and charging performance
• Ease of use and maintenance
• Value for money at retail price
• Safety features and compliance

Ratings

Our ratings reflect our honest assessment at the time of testing. Ratings are not influenced by affiliate relationships, advertising, or any commercial arrangement. We reserve the right to update ratings if a product changes significantly after launch.

No Pay-to-Play

We do not accept payment for reviews, positive coverage, or inflated ratings. Any sponsored content is clearly labeled and separate from our editorial reviews.
