It's worth being precise about the distinction here, since it's genuinely different from stories like Cando or Colfax, where a Saskatchewan community was directly and deliberately named after an American town by settlers with a real, personal connection to that specific place. Available sources don't establish that Colgate, Saskatchewan was named specifically after Colgate, North Dakota, or that the two communities share settlers, founders, or any direct historical link — they appear to be a real coincidence of naming, two separate small communities on either side of an international border happening to carry the identical name, likely both drawing independently from the same common English surname rather than one being named directly after the other.
That's worth appreciating as its own kind of interesting fact rather than assuming every shared name across the border implies a direct connection. Common English surnames and place names were genuinely likely to be independently reused across multiple new settlements during the same general era of North American westward expansion, without every instance tracing back to a single deliberate cross-reference.
The village-to-hamlet restructuring around 2000 places Colgate among several communities covered on this site that lost formal incorporated status right around the turn of the millennium — a genuinely recent administrative change by the standards of most of the century-old founding stories elsewhere on this site, reflecting the same ongoing rural population pressures that have continued reshaping small Saskatchewan communities' formal status well into recent decades.
On product: Ripper Z 99K 10mg/mL is a genuinely high-capacity disposable at a slightly lower nicotine strength, in flavours like Triple Berry, Mighty Mint, and MTN Citrus Raspberry. If you'd rather have a reusable device, the VooPoo VRIZZ 2 is a capable pod system. Apple Drop Salt Nic 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. Most disposables run mouth-to-lung and commonly sit at 12 mg/mL up to Canada's federal cap of 20 mg/mL — a hard nationwide ceiling, nothing legally sold here exceeds it. Ripper Z 99K's 10 mg/mL strength sits comfortably within that range for anyone who prefers a slightly milder mouth-to-lung option. The VRIZZ 2 can run mouth-to-lung or direct-lung depending on setup; 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.
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.
Shared place names across the Canada-US border are a genuinely common phenomenon beyond just Colgate — a lot of common English surnames and place names show up independently in multiple states and provinces, a real reflection of how limited the actual pool of common English naming conventions was during the era both countries were rapidly settling and naming thousands of new small communities within a few decades of each other.
Every product carries the federal excise stamp and comes from an authorized Canadian distributor, worth checking regardless of where you buy or how many other places around the world happen to share a given community's exact name.
The Rural Municipality of Lomond No. 37, which now governs Colgate directly following its restructuring from village status, represents the more durable administrative layer for this small community today — real local governance continuing regardless of the hamlet's own formal incorporation history, the same pattern that applies across a lot of the small, restructured communities covered elsewhere on this site.
It's worth adding that name coincidences like Colgate's are a genuinely useful reminder not to assume every cross-border naming similarity implies a documented historical link — sometimes two places simply end up sharing a name through entirely separate, unconnected decisions made an ocean or a continent apart from each other, a coincidence worth appreciating rather than over-explaining, two Colgates that simply never had any reason to know about each other, each developing its own real, separate identity on opposite sides of an international border, without either community's own residents necessarily even knowing the other existed.
