What this is
What is Nicotia Market?
A price comparison site. We hold no stock, take no payment and ship nothing. We read the catalogues of the shops we cover, reduce every product to a price per unit you can actually compare, and send you to the shop to buy. The shop is the seller; we are not a party to your order.
Do you sell anything, or ship anything?
No. We hold no inventory, take no payment and have no warehouse. Your order, your money, your delivery and your returns are all between you and the shop you bought from. If something goes wrong with an order, the shop is who you need, and their terms are the ones that apply.
How do you make money?
Affiliate commission. When you buy through a link here, some shops pay us a share. It costs you nothing extra and it does not move anything up the page: every shelf is ranked by price per unit, and the ranking code does not know what a shop pays. Some shops on the site pay us nothing at all and are listed exactly the same way.
Do you review or rate the products?
No, and we do not publish star ratings or a best-in-class badge. We own no inventory and have no reviewers, so any score we invented would be decoration. The only ranking here is arithmetic: price per unit, in one currency, in stock. That is a claim we can stand behind.
The prices
What does per pouch, per 1,000 puffs, per ml and per stick mean?
It is the shelf price divided by what you actually get. A tin of 15 and a roll of five tins never compared on the sticker, so we divide: a 15-count can and a 20-count can become two per-pouch numbers you can rank against each other. Disposables are priced per 1,000 puffs, e-liquid per ml, cigars per stick. Devices and gear have no honest unit, so they stay at their flat price.
Why does the same brand cost different amounts at different shops?
Because it does. Different shops buy at different volumes, sit in different countries, run different promotions and charge different shipping. That gap is the entire reason this site exists. Where the shops price in different currencies we convert to one before ranking, so a kroner listing and a euro listing are compared honestly rather than by whichever number happens to look smaller.
Are the prices live?
They are read from each shop's own catalogue and refreshed regularly, and the shelf stamps how long ago it last checked. They are still a snapshot. A shop can change a price, run out, or apply a discount at its own checkout after we last looked, so the price you pay is whatever the shop shows you at checkout, not what we showed you here.
Shops, shipping and age
Why can I not see some products?
Two filters, and they are deliberately stricter than the shops' own. First, whether that shop actually ships to where you told us you are. Second, whether the product is lawful to receive there — several shops will ship to places these products are banned, and a shop's willingness to send something is not evidence that it is legal to receive it. Set your destination with the SHIP TO control before concluding something is missing.
Why does one shop say “Checkout at” and another “Open at”?
Because the shops differ in what a single link can carry. Some accept a whole basket in one URL, so the button fills their cart and drops you at their checkout. Some accept only one item per link. Some accept none at all, and the honest thing is to open the product and say so rather than promise a basket that will not arrive. The button always says which of the three you are about to get.
Do you check my age, and does the shop?
We ask you to affirm you are 21 or over before the site will show you anything. That is an affirmation, not proof, and it is not the check that matters. The check that matters happens at the shop's own checkout, and the shops are wildly inconsistent about it: some run a real identity check, some only ask for a date of birth, and some do neither. Which one you are dealing with is shown next to that shop's checkout button, and set out shop by shop on our vendor trust page.
Still stuck?
If your question is about an order — where it is, what it cost, sending it back — the shop you bought from is the only one who can answer it. We never see your order. If your question is about this site, the terms and privacy pages are the long version, and neither is written to be unreadable.
