Blu bar Device Only

No. It is a rechargeable device sold without pods. Charges via USB-C (charger not included) and takes Blu Bar pods separately. Since 17 June 2025, non-rechargeable, non-refillable disposable vapes have been banned for sale in NZ. This device does not fall under that ban, because it recharges and the pods are swappable. To lock or unlock it, press the side button five times. Pods are sold separately; check the Closed Pod Systems category for compatible options.

No, the charger is not included. The charging port is USB-C, so any standard USB-C cable and wall adapter will work, the kind most phones already use. Need pods to go with it? See the full range of pre-filled pod vapes on the HiVape site.

Vaping hardware and e-liquids in NZ are restricted to people 18 and over. Age verification applies at checkout and at the door if buying in store. This applies regardless of whether the product contains nicotine, since a bare device is still age-restricted because it is built for vaping use. HiVape’s Auckland store is at 286 Karangahape Road, CBD. Full age and purchase policy is on the Privacy and Legal page.

Press the side button five times in quick succession. The same sequence unlocks it. This is a standard safety feature on pod devices, worth using if you carry the device loose in a bag or pocket. Full specs and instructions for similar devices are listed on each product page in the Closed Pod Systems range.
