flag Charlie's Holdings licenses AI/blockchain age-gating tech to block underage vape access, with a 100% success rate in tests.

flag Charlie's Holdings has licensed a new AI and blockchain-powered age-gating system from IKE Tech to prevent underage access to vape products, aiming to meet FDA safety goals. flag The system uses biometric Bluetooth verification to continuously confirm user age, with a study showing 100% of adults passed verification and no underage users succeeded. flag Charlie's will test the technology this spring on its SBX product line and integrate it into PACHA-branded devices, gaining three-year exclusivity for age-gated nicotine analogues. flag The move comes as flavored vapes remain largely banned in the U.S., fueling illicit markets and limiting adult access to lower-risk alternatives.
