Armed thieves robbed its bank of $16,000 in 1922.
Vape Delivery in Ceylon, Saskatchewan | Prairie Vape
Ceylon's history includes a genuinely dramatic, well-documented event most small Saskatchewan villages simply don't have: in 1922, armed thieves robbed the local Bank of Montreal branch of roughly $16,000 in cash, securities, and bonds — a real, substantial sum for the era, and a real crime that would have shaken a village this size to its core. The first homesteaders arrived in the Ceylon area in 1905, the railroad reached the district in 1910, and the village incorporated on September 26, 1911. Today Ceylon sits on Highway 6, about 110 km south of Regina and 50 km north of the Canada-US border, with a population of 111 as of 2016.
A real, documented robbery in a village this small
It's worth taking a moment to appreciate what an armed bank robbery actually meant for a community the size of Ceylon in 1922. Sixteen thousand dollars was a genuinely enormous sum at the time — equivalent to a substantial multiple of that figure in today's money, representing real savings, mortgage payments, and business capital belonging to local farmers and merchants, not an abstract corporate loss. A robbery of that scale happening in a small, newly incorporated prairie village would have been real, significant local news, likely discussed for years afterward.
Bank robberies of small-town branches were a genuinely real, if not constant, feature of prairie life in the 1920s — rural banks often held substantial cash reserves to serve an agricultural economy that ran heavily on cash transactions at harvest and planting time, while offering considerably less security infrastructure than banks in larger centres, making them real, practical targets for organized criminals during exactly this era.
Whether the thieves who hit Ceylon's bank were ever caught, and what happened to the stolen money, isn't detailed in the readily available record — but the robbery itself remains a real, documented piece of local history, a genuinely dramatic single event standing out against Ceylon's otherwise fairly typical early-1900s founding story: homesteaders in 1905, a railroad in 1910, incorporation the following year.
On product: Flavour Beast Mode Max 2 50K is a genuinely high-capacity disposable, in flavours like Bussin Banana, Extreme Mint, and Groovy Grape Passionfruit. If you'd rather have a reusable device, the Uwell Typhos SE is a capable pod system. Koil Killz Salt 30ml is worth a look if you're picking e-liquid separately from the hardware.
Nicotine strength depends on device type more than personal preference. Flavour Beast Mode Max 2 50K, like most disposables, is a mouth-to-lung device, and that category commonly runs 12 mg/mL up to Canada's federal cap of 20 mg/mL — a hard nationwide ceiling, nothing legally sold here exceeds it. The Typhos SE can run mouth-to-lung or direct-lung depending on the coil; direct-lung setups typically pair with lower concentrations, usually 0 to 6 mg/mL.
Every product carries the federal excise stamp and comes from an authorized Canadian distributor. Saskatchewan restricts flavoured vaping products beyond tobacco, mint, and menthol to specialty vape retailers and online sales specifically. 19+ is Prairie Vape's policy for every order we ship, in every province, matching Saskatchewan's own legal minimum — Prairie Vape's own order verification process runs considerably more securely than 1920s rural banking ever did.
Orders ship from Saskatoon by tracked courier, with tracking sent as soon as it's moving.
Puff count is worth a quick word too: 2,000 to 4,000 suits occasional use, 5,000 to 7,000 covers daily use for most people, and anything above 8,000 mainly matters if reordering often isn't something you want to manage.
Small-town bank robberies during the 1920s were a genuinely documented broader phenomenon across the Canadian prairies, sometimes tied to organized criminal groups moving between communities in the pre-automobile-security era, when a fast getaway and a rural bank's comparatively thin security made this exact kind of crime a real, if uncommon, risk for towns like Ceylon.
Every product carries the federal excise stamp and comes from an authorized Canadian distributor, worth checking regardless of where you buy or how eventful a given community's own early history happened to be.
Ceylon's position 50 km north of the Canada-US border is worth its own note, since border-adjacent communities during this era sometimes saw real cross-border criminal activity, given the relative ease of moving stolen goods or evading pursuit across an international line — whether the 1922 robbery had any specific cross-border dimension isn't confirmed in available sources, but the village's geography alone made that kind of possibility genuinely plausible for the period.
It's worth adding that a documented armed robbery is a genuinely rare kind of historical record for a small prairie village to carry — most of the founding stories covered on this site involve settlers, railways, and incorporation dates, while Ceylon's own history includes a real, if uncomfortable, moment of genuine criminal drama that most comparably-sized communities simply never experienced, the kind of event that likely got retold at kitchen tables for years afterward, a real, memorable piece of the village's own oral history, likely outliving the specific written record of the case itself by many decades, passed down informally, generation to generation, long after any official police file on the robbery was closed for good.
