The only one I know that sells them is Protovape.
Evolv 510 Connector
I believe they got all Evolv's stock, and Evolv isnt interested in making them for retail at this point.
I still LOVE them, one of the best on the market IMHO.
I have a few VT 510's that I plan on using for the Silos. I've had zero issues with them.
I sent an email to voice my concerns over the new legislation comming for vaping here in Canada.
Specifically for the up comming flavour ban. To my surprise I got a response today
Looks like we are taking a much more liberal approach to vaping here in Canada.
I see whats going on all over the world now & want to wave our flag
Here's my email & the response I received.
Hi
My name is Peter I'm 55. I was a life long smoker & had a hard time trying to quit!
A few years back I discovered vaping, it was a life changer for me!
I was able to quit smoking permanently for the first time since I was a youngster!
All thou I'm 55. I still like Candy & Sweet flavouring for my E-Juice.
A wide variety of flavourings is what keeps it fresh for me, If I get board with a flavour I can just switch to another.
In my opinion Children are not being targeted by the flavouring.
I see vaping as harm reduction, I would never encourage any one to try it, If they were not try to quit smoking.
Even if it's not 100% safe, We know for sure it safer than smoking!
There are too many smokers, we seriously need the number reduced!
Vaping can do that! But why regulate the types of flavouring? Adults like Candy to.
I really hope my Government, will see the benefits of letting people quit smoking, with E-Cigaretts Even if the choose to use Candy flavoured Juice.
Thanks
Peter
Dear Peter,
Thank you for your email of April 28, 2017, concerning the regulation of vaping products. I apologize for the delay in responding.
First, I would like to congratulate you on quitting smoking. It is indeed the single best thing you can do to improve your life and health.
As you may know, on November 22, 2016, the Government introduced Bill S-5, An Act to amend the Tobacco Act and the Non-smokers’ Health Act and make consequential amendments to other Acts. The proposed legislation would establish a new approach to regulating vaping products and includes measures that would support the implementation of plain and standardized packaging for tobacco products. This legislation is a key element of the Government’s overall tobacco control agenda, which also includes banning menthol in most tobacco products and modernizing Canada’s approach to tobacco control.
Bill S-5 responds to the recommendations of the Standing Committee on Health’s report entitled Vaping: Toward a Regulatory Framework for E-cigarettes, which received all-party support. Bill S-5 aims to protect youth from nicotine addiction and inducement to tobacco use, while allowing adults, particularly adults who smoke, to legally access vaping products as a less harmful alternative to tobacco.
Vaping products are currently available in a wide variety of flavours. It is the promotion of certain flavours such as confectionery and dessert that Bill S-5 proposes to prohibit, as current evidence suggests they may be more appealing to youth. The proposed legislation would provide legal access to adults to such flavoured products as it is recognized that flavours make vaping products palatable to adults seeking a less harmful alternative to tobacco.
Bill S-5 was introduced in the Senate. It will be studied and debated as it moves through the legislative process. Should the proposed legislation receive Royal Assent, requirements for vaping products would be further elaborated in regulations. We encourage interested parties, such as yourself, to comment on the regulatory proposal when it is pre-published in the Canada Gazette, Part 1.
Once again, congratulations on quitting smoking and thank you for taking the time to share your views on this important issue.
Sincerely,
Roberta Acason

This seems like double talk to me though?? Though I have not read the proposal.
If it just means prohibiting advertising, thats not so bad.
If it just means prohibiting advertising, thats not so bad.
that's what it looks like to me
What is promotion? definition and meaning - BusinessDictionary.com
www.businessdictionary.com/definition/promotion.html
Definition of promotion: Marketing: The advancement of a product, idea, or point of view through publicity and/or advertising. See also sales promotion.
I wasn't expecting a reply at all! I don't see why they would flat out lie to me?
The jist of the reply is they are all for vaping as harm reduction.
The reply says straight out, they don't plan on restricting flavouring for adults!
Just the marketing of them to Children.
Are they being marketed to children now, in Canada?
Not that I know of! I haven't seen any adds for Vaping here in Canada.
Maybe it's preventative?
I'm just happy there is no plan to make it illegal! I would do it any way, but it's nice to know they see the harm reduction aspect.
Definition of a politician that seems to be universal - One who can look themselves in the eye in a mirror, tell a flat out lie, and make it convincing enough that they, themselves, believe it is true.
Being a skeptic and cynic by nature I think the truth is in the details and minutia of that legislation similar to "you can keep your plan" with the stipulation that IF your plan is included in the first place not being mentioned.
