Abstract: A system and method for authenticating an electronic vaping delivery unit. The system comprises: a double-sided insert disposable onto a container, a device operatively configured with a data network, and a user interface operatively linked to the device. The double sided insert comprises a front side and a reverse side. The front side comprises a first identifier and the reverse side comprises a second identifier. The reverse side and the second identifier are concealed when the double sided insert is deposed against the container. The front side and the second identifier are exposed when the double-sided insert is removed from the container. The user interface is configured to allow access to a user upon a successful recognition of the first identifier. The user interface is further configured to generate an authenticating confirmation upon a successful recognition of the second identifier.
