It's a solid step in letting everyone know that they can be responsible. However, I am sure some people can think of some negative side, but I was just wondering if anyone else had a B&M that actually checks.
My B&M started checking ID's!

AltSmoke's Cincinnati store checks ID's when appropriate. I've seen them ask several times when I've been in the store.
I went just this past weekend and brought my college-age daughter with me so we could sample some flavors together. I told her as we were walking from the parking lot to the store that they were going to check her ID. And sure enough they did, which I totally approve of.

I'd settle for having a B & M in a reasonable driving distance.
Same here, the closest one to me is in a terrible area of town and has zero parking.
As for ID's, I've only been asked for my ID once and that was at the place I frequent regularly. The other places didn't.

That said I am glad to hear they are doing this.
Ditto.......
At my age, if they ask me for my ID I won't buy anything because they must be incompetent.
darn tootin`, not a thing wrong with that... 
if there is any question, it's the way it should be done, it's the Law...

If it gets as bad as checking ID's for alcohol, due to proposed regulations, current or future, they won't have a choice - they could possibly face huge fines if they don't verify every ID of every customer.
Knoxville, TN got hit with an undercover sting operation in a few restaurants a few years back - it wasn't a good time to be in there and be an employee. Servers didn't check ID's when the undercover cops ordered a round of drinks, got busted, had their ABC licenses pulled (which are required to serve and handle alcohol in a restaurant in TN), and I believe both they are the company were fined.
We don't need that sort of attention in the vaping community with or without regulations, now or in the future. That'd just be more ammo for them to ban them or heavily regulate them, more than they are already wanting to.
I'm just the opposite, if they don't check my ID, regardless of my age, I won't be buying - that basically tells me that they most likely do sell the those understand based on look and appearance. I've never had a shop not check my ID and even if they know me, I'd rather them check it to show others that they do check them to verify age.

only the under age ones

should they have a separate "side" the no-nic options, or should all vaping be restricted to 18+ years only
Both the stores I frequent have signs posted that there are no sales to those under 18, and check ID's. One goes a step farther and has a bold sign on the front door that no children are allowed in the store....and they stick to it. I witnessed a man walk into the store before me one day with his 2 young children, around 5 and 6. Before I made it into the store, he was already walking back out.
Good to hear that they're checking ID's. The last thing we need is more press about selling to minors.

That sounds like overkill to me.
I am 45. 1 1/2 PAD smoker for 25 years. If anyone wants to see my ID.....god bless them and thank you! (but in some chases it is store policy.)
I have nothing against ID'ing but, as I said, AT MY AGE if you can't tell I'm am old enough, you are incompetent.
