E-cigarette and vape products/items are made up of different parts and are therefore subject to different warranties.
• E-cigarette kits and devices (that use external batteries) have a 3-month warranty starting from the date of purchase. However, longer manufacturer warranties may apply to certain products/items, including IOQS (from Philip Morris New Zealand) and VUSE (from British American Tobacco New Zealand).
• Disposable e-cigarette products/items, clearomisers, atomisers (also known as coils or heads), pods, and tanks, are consumable items and are not covered under warranty. However, if they are deemed to be Dead on Arrival (faulty on receipt), we may replace them at our discretion.
• E-liquids are consumable items and are not covered under warranty. The only exception to this rule is if there is a manufacturing fault, in which case we will replace them.
• Batteries and Mods have a limited lifespan that is determined by usage. They are guaranteed for 30 days from the date of purchase. This warranty is void if the unit has been damaged due to misuse and/or tampering.
• Chargers, charging cases, leads, and wall adapters (only for products/items sold separately, not for bundled products/items) are warranted for 3 months from the date of purchase. If an item has an electrical fault, including but not limited to failure to charge, we will replace it. We reserve the right to change our warranty terms without notice. We also reserve the right to refuse any item returned to us that does not meet our stated requirements.
