Our return refund policy ensures customer satisfaction at Los Angeles Vapes. We back every product with our 100% satisfaction guarantee while maintaining strict return refund policy guidelines to comply with California health regulations.
Last Updated: February 2026
Return Refund Policy – 30-Day Return Window
Our return refund policy accepts returns within 30 days of your delivery date. However, items must remain in their original, factory-sealed packaging to qualify for return consideration under our return refund policy.
Eligible returns must meet these criteria: completely unopened packaging, unused condition, all original accessories intact, and no signs of tampering or use.
Return Refund Policy – Items We Cannot Accept
California health and safety regulations prohibit returns on certain products once packaging is compromised. Our return refund policy follows these guidelines:
No returns are permitted on:
Opened e-liquids or vape juice of any kind
Any disposable vapes that have been used or unsealed
Vape pods or cartridges with broken seals
Coils and atomizers once packaging is opened
Batteries or charging equipment that has been unsealed
Products missing original packaging or components
Final sale or clearance merchandise
Gift cards or store credit
These restrictions protect your health and ensure compliance with state regulations governing tobacco products.
Return Refund Policy for Defective Products
Received a product that doesn’t work as expected? Our return refund policy covers defective items. We’ll make it right through replacement or refund following our verification process.
What qualifies as defective under our return refund policy:
Products that arrive non-functional (Dead on Arrival)
Manufacturing defects confirmed by our team
Items damaged during shipping
Products that malfunction within 72 hours of first use
Report defects within 72 hours by:
Reaching out to our customer support team immediately
Providing your order number and purchase details
Sending clear photos or video demonstrating the issue
Keeping all original packaging until we review your claim
Our experienced staff will review your claim and issue a Return Authorization if warranted according to our return refund policy.
Return Refund Policy – User Error vs. Product Defects
Many perceived defects are actually usage issues that our team can help resolve. Our return refund policy distinguishes between defects and user errors:
Coils producing burnt taste (often not properly saturated before use)
Devices not firing (typically wrong power settings)
Weak vapor production (usually depleted e-liquid or old coils)
Battery issues (frequently from improper charging habits)
Leaking (often from incorrect coil installation)
Before initiating a return under our return refund policy, consult our vaping guides and troubleshooting tips or speak with our experts.
Return Refund Policy – How to Return an Item
All returns under our return refund policy require prior authorization. Never ship items back without contacting us first.
Your return refund policy process:
First: Contact us with your order details and reason for return. We’ll evaluate whether your item qualifies under our return refund policy and issue a Return Authorization number if approved.
Second: Carefully repack the item in its original box with all manuals, accessories, and components. Missing items may result in reduced refunds or rejection per our return refund policy.
Third: Clearly mark your Return Authorization number on the shipping label. Items arriving without authorization will be refused according to our return refund policy.
Fourth: Ship to the address we provide with your authorization. Use a carrier with tracking for your protection.
Finally: Send us your tracking information so we can monitor the return shipment per our return refund policy.
Unauthorized returns will be sent back to you at your expense.

Return Refund Policy – Product Exchanges
We gladly exchange defective products or items we shipped incorrectly according to our return refund policy.
Exchange requests follow the same authorization process as returns. Specify that you want an exchange rather than a refund when you contact us.
Once we verify your return per our return refund policy, we’ll ship the replacement immediately. Note that exchanges depend on current inventory availability.
