For Licensed Venue Operators
The detail you asked for.
Below is the specific product, pricing, and compliance detail that operator partners typically want before a first conversation. Nothing here is on the public site, by design.
Product
Cho's Vending Inc. launches with a single SKU. Single-SKU operation keeps inventory simple and compliance posture airtight under the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 (SFOA) — every unit in every machine is the same federally compliant, excise-stamped, mint-flavoured disposable at the federal 20 mg/mL nicotine ceiling.
- Product
- OVNS 2500 disposable vapour device
- Flavour
- Mint Ice (menthol; SFOA s.9 compliant for non-specialty retailers)
- Nicotine strength
- 20 mg/mL (federal NCVPR maximum)
- Puff count
- ~2,500 per unit
- Packaging
- Bilingual, excise-stamped (Ontario coordinated stamp)
- Supplier
- Brampton, Ontario distributor (named on request)
Pricing & revenue split
A single dispense is $30 (HST included). The venue rings the sale on the venue's own POS, collects $30 from the customer, and keeps 25% — about $7.50 per unit — paid into the venue's till at the moment of sale. Cho's takes the remaining 75% in a monthly settlement by e-transfer. Zero capital expenditure on the venue side. Zero inventory carry. No equipment purchase.
- Retail price (HST-in)
- $30.00 per unit
- Venue share
- 25% (~$7.50 per unit)
- Cho's share
- 75% (~$22.50 per unit)
- Settlement

- Capacity per machine
- 90 units (9 slots × 10 per slot)
Machine
The machine is a 23.8" staff-operated unit with a 9-slot architecture, weighs 28 kg, and runs on standard 110V. The customer-facing surface is a single touchscreen — no product windows, no branding, no product imagery. The machine is inert without an RF keyfob unlock from venue staff — it cannot dispense on its own and is never operable by a customer.
- Dimensions
- 750 mm W × 300 mm D × 670 mm H (29.5" × 11.8" × 26.4")
- Weight
- 28 kg
- Placement
- Free-standing on a counter or stand, or wall-mounted — behind or near the bar
- Power
- Standard 110V
- Connectivity
- WiFi, 4G, Ethernet
- Lock
- RF keyfob — staff unlock per transaction, manual relock
Compliance posture
Cho's is the principal seller of record and carries the regulatory load on every filing, every inspection, and every product-liability claim. The venue's only role on the regulatory side is the same 19+ ID check it already performs for every other age-restricted product on the bar.
Our compliance model is fully documented under the SFOA and the provisions applicable to licensed bars and nightclubs. Where a regional public health unit conducts a pre-operation inspection, we complete it before first sale, and we cooperate with any Display & Promotion inspections that follow.
- Operating Act
- Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017
- Federal overlay
- Tobacco and Vaping Products Act + VPPR + NCVPR
- Indemnity flow
- Cho's → Venue (not the reverse)
- Inspection
- Completed where the regional public health unit conducts one
Operator partnership terms
A standard Cho's venue partnership is a 12-month initial term with auto-renewal. Either side can terminate with 30 days' written notice — no early-termination penalty. Cho's installs, restocks, services, and removes the equipment — including any table, stand, or mount — at our cost. The venue provides space at or behind the bar, a power outlet, and the staff time of the 30-second dispense flow at the moment of sale.
A full venue agreement is provided for review before any signature. It is templated and reflects terms already executed in market.
