3. Coil Returns

Coils (also known as atomisers/heads, cartomizers and clearomizers) have a limited lifespan and are listed as accessories or consumables by vape hardware suppliers. Coils operate at different temperatures and are optimised to work with specific voltage/resistance levels to deliver the best experience based on the type of e-liquid you are using (this affects both open and closed pod systems).

Manufacturers will sometimes offer a range of different coils for a single device (e.g. ceramic or steel) to accommodate different e-liquids. You must ensure you use an appropriate coil for your e-liquid.

We advise that most coils and wicks benefit from being given a short time to become saturated by your e-liquid before you begin to vape.

3.1. To avoid burning out your coil, please ensure that you have the correct coil for your device and e-liquid before installing your coil and vaping.

3.2. As stated above, please note that there are some items that are excluded from our Returns Policy unless they are determined to be faulty or not as described. These include coils/atomisers, cartomizers and clearomizers. This does not affect your statutory rights.

We are therefore only able to accept returns of faulty coils/atomisers/heads that are effectively ‘dead on arrival’. To return these items you must inform our Customer Services Team within 48 hours of receipt (please refer to our Returns Policy), obtain a Returns Number, and write that clearly on the outside of your package.

3.3. We advise you send the goods to us with the original order number via recorded delivery and fully insured for the full value of the goods. This will help to protect you in case your items are lost in transit as Vape Dinner Lady cannot responsibility for lost or damaged goods.

3.4. Once we have received your returned coil/atomiser, it will be carefully inspected. If we are able to confirm the coil/atomiser is defective, your coil will be replaced by our Customer Services Team.
