Nor will VAPR refund or replace should you 1. not like the flavour, 2. feel the flavour is different or has changed 3.disagree with the description of the flavour or it's profile.  Furthermore, due to the sale and supply of nicotine being ILLEGAL in Australia, NONE OF OUR E-liquids CONTAIN NICOTINE.     

• Faulty Item: **We require a photo of the serial number on the packaging of your box in order to claim warranty from manufacturer. Be sure to take a photo of the scratched scratch panel and serial number before discarding of your packaging/box.
• Buyer must report a faulty item to us by email message within 3 days of item being delivered to buyer. Depending on the circumstances we may require a short video or photo of the fault, for warranty purposes in dealing with our manufacturer. In the event this information is insufficient we will require the buyer to physically return the item to VAPR, (either in store or by post). Item needs to be shipped back to VAPR by Australia Post Standard Parcel Service and tracking number MUST be provided by the buyer. Once received by us we will carry out the assessment for faulty item under manufacturer/supplier’s instructions – We require up to 3-5 business days, from the date of arrival of the item, for the assessment to be conducted, so please be patient during this time. Item/items returns must not show any signs of intentional damage or incorrect use.  
• Inline with the ACCC, Australian Consumer Law and industry standards, vaping products qualify for a statutory 3 month, (90 day), warranty period. applicable items, outside of this time frame, will not qualify for refund, repair or replacement. Please contact us if you have an issue and we will do our best to assist you if we can.

  • ​​Mi​suse, deliberate/accidental damage - including signs of dropping or damages caused by wear and tear.
  • F​ailure or damage caused due to improper use or unauthorized repairs.
  • F​ailure or damage as a result of excessive force such as dropping.

• From time to time errors may occur where an incorrect item has been sent. Please notify us immediatley and within 1-3 days from the date of Aus Post delivery to arrange a swift and suitable remedy. Replacement items will not be posted before the incorrect items in their original and unused condition, have been returned. However we will work with you to ensure a satisfactory outcome.
• PLEASE NOTE: - Li-ion batteries qualify for a 14 day warranty period ONLY. You, the buyer, must ensure that wraps have not been removed, that they do not appear to be in poor condition and ensure they are not just completely flat, under these circumstances, Li-ion batteries DO NOT qualify for warranty. Please use common sense when assessing whether the battery is faulty or whether more appropriate care and maintenance needed to have been used.
• VAPR advises against using the built-in USB charging feature on mods that use replaceable lithium ion cells. It is recommended that in order to deliver a balanced charge on Lithium ion batteries a proper external charger must be used, this also reduces the potential of damaging the cells, (removable batteries), reducing the liklihood of damage to the port, along with reducing the risk of venting. Micro and mini USB ports are notoriously fragile and as such we do not offer a warranty or repair service on any USB charging ports if you choose to ignore this warning***. Regarding internal battery mods, USB ports are often the first point of failure as they are fragile and frequently used. Please take care when utilising the charging port as signs of accidental damage or misuse, will void warranty.
• In order for VAPR to qualify products for warranty through the manufacturer we require you to keep your original packaging so we may quote the serial number should there be an issue WITHIN the warranty period, as this is not ideal for some, we can accept a photo of your serial numbers from the box/packaging. If you intend on disposing of the packaging before the standard 3 month warranty period is up, it may be worth taking photos of your serial number.
• Coils (including replacement pods), Clearamisers and Atomisers: Under the current standards set by the industry, these items are considered consumables, (that is, intended to be used and thrown away after a certain amount of time), as such these items do not qualify for warranty. Misuse, incorrect e-liquid compatibility, ie PG/VG ratio, incorrect wattage settings, and failure to prime are the main reasons behind multiple failed coils. Burnt coils are not a warranty issue. Additionally, the nature of coils is such that from time to time you may encounter a poorly performing coil.  

5. E-Liquids: In the event that you do not like the e-liquid you have selected, once the product has left our premises  we can no longer offer a refund OR exchange. For obvious hygiene and safety reasons e-liquids cannot be resold once they have left the premises, as we can no longer be certain they are in original condition. In rare cases, individuals may have a sensitivity to the PG of the e-liquid or have concerns about potential adverse reactions, in these cases please cease using the product and seek medical assistance. VAPR accepts no liability for customers who experience adverse reactions. We further do not accept liability for those whom use the devices for illegal purposes. ***PLEASE NOTE: Many of the international juices may show a warning label for nicotine on the packaging, this is a requirement in the respective countries, and is printed on ALL their packaging including e-juices that have NO NICOTINE, which can be identified by the 0mg labelling/specifications - confirming that the nicotine content contained within the juice is 0mg
6. Cancelling orders: If you need to cancel an order or portion of your order for any reason, we will refund you the cost of your order/items, via your original payment method, less the 5% processing fee that we are charged by the payment platform, which is not refunded to us and a restocking fee may apply for multiple to changes. Should you wish to make an amendment to your order, you can do so without cancelling by calling or emailing in a timely manner.

          VAPR may cancel your order at their discretion.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

It is the responsibility of the buyer to exercise correct and appropriate care and maintenance for all vape devices and accessories, by doing so you ensure the best performance and longevity of the item/s. VAPR WILL NOT replace/repair or exchange an item that has been poorly maintained, mishandled or misused. Devices that are gurg;ing, spitting, burning, leaking are NOT FAULTY. This is a maintennance issue. The manufacturer has not made an error in production, rather the device requires correct usage. We are more than happy to offer helpful tips and suggestions on best practices for your specific chosen device.  Warranty is considered void if the device/accessory has been used incorrectly, poorly handled or poorly maintained, including showing signs or expected general wear and tear.

Please be advised many bottom airflow tanks will inherently experience some seepage or minor leakage, particularly if not used regularly. Minor leakage or seepage is not considered a warranty issue or faulty product and will not be replaced, always check to ensure your coils are in tight and correctly installed. If the tank is experiencing considerable leakage we will assess the cause and replace as necessary at our discretion.
