1. Dead on Arrival (DOA)
Please inspect your order immediately upon receipt.
- Coverage: This applies to disposable items that cannot be covered by a long-term warranty, including Puff Box refills, VIM pods, tanks, cartomisers, and coils.
- Action Required: If an item is faulty out of the box, you must contact Customer Service immediately.
- Process: DOA items are replaced once troubleshooting is complete. We may request a photo or video to expedite your claim, though you may also return the item for physical testing.
2. The 14-Day "No Quibble" Period
- Malfunctions: If any hardware malfunctions within 14 days of purchase, we will provide an immediate replacement or a full refund.
- Unopened Items: Puff Box kits and pods can only be returned under this 14-day guarantee if the packaging remains unopened and sealed due to hygiene regulations.
- After 14 Days: If a fault develops after the first 14 days but within the warranty period, the item must be returned to us for inspection before a replacement is issued.
3. Standard Warranty Terms
Our warranties cover manufacturing faults or malfunctions that develop under normal use.
- Duration: The warranty period begins from the date of dispatch.
- Replacements: A replacement does not "restart" the warranty. The original purchase date remains the start point for your coverage.
- Repair or Replace: We will attempt to repair faulty items first. If a repair is not economical or the product is discontinued, we will provide a replacement of equal or greater value.
- Processing Time: We aim to process returns within 5 working days of receipt.
- Territory: Warranties are valid only for orders placed within the UK and EU.

- Hardware: Covered for 14 days only (Dead on Arrival). No long-term warranty applies.
