Very often a video can identify the cause and a simple fix can be established. The manufacturer also requires a video to review.

Orders placed before 2pm will be sent out same day. Orders placed after 2pm will be sent the following day. Please note when sales are on it may take an extra day to despatch simply due to volume of orders.

Shipping is Monday to Friday currently. 

If an item does not turn up. Royal Mail/DPD/UPS ask that you wait 10 working days after date of dispatch to see if it arrives.  If still not arrived, a replacement will be sent. This is hugely inconvenient i know, but it is rare for items to go missing. There are no issues refunding or replacing any item that does happen to go missing, but Royal Mail terms state 10 working days must pass before can be reported missing.  By ordering from vaping 101 you accept these terms.  Refunds of any postage fees for late deliveries will not be offered.

Important Please Read - 

Tanks, RDA’s, RTA’s etc – Do not allow these to leak, they “will” cause problems. All tanks leak but there is a wealth of information to stop a tank leaking that can be found HERE. 

Squonkers – Do not overfill your squonk bottle. Do not over-squonk. There is a learning curve with squonking, allow your RDA to leak it will cause problems. There are many tutorial videos that can be viewed HERE. 

Mods/Devices – Never charge via USB unless the battery is built in. Purchase a dedicated charger. Don’t drop. Don’t allow tanks to leak. Always use appropriate batteries in good condition with no damage to the outer wrap. Replace any damaged wraps. Use paired batteries (have same amount of cycles). Your Mod is not waterproof.

Do not store devices in pockets. This puts unnecessary strain on the tank which also transfers to the Mod's 510 connection and will cause problems.

These are all absolutely simple, common sense essentials to a happy vaping life. Do not rely upon Vaping 101 footing the bill for your unwillingness to follow these simple, key steps.
