FAQs
Everything you need to know about our products, services, and policies — all in one place.
Getting Started
I'm new to vaping — where do I start?
Start with one of our Starter Kits. They come pre-configured with a device, tank, coil pack, and a beginner-friendly e-liquid recommendation. Our staff will walk you through setup and maintenance in-store — no appointment needed.
What's the difference between a vape pen and a box mod?
Vape pens are slim, simple, and great for beginners — they usually have fixed wattage and smaller batteries. Box mods are larger, offer variable wattage (up to 230W+), temperature control, and longer battery life. If you want more customization and vapor production, a box mod is the way to go.
What nicotine strength should I choose?
It depends on your smoking history. Heavy smokers (20+ cigarettes/day) typically start at 18–50mg nicotine salts. Moderate smokers do well at 6–12mg freebase. Light or social smokers can start at 3–6mg. We also carry 0mg options. Our staff can help you find the right level.
Products & E-Liquids
How often should I replace my coils?
Most coils last 1–3 weeks depending on usage and e-liquid sweetness. Signs it's time to replace: burnt taste, reduced vapor, gurgling sounds, or darkened liquid in the tank. We carry replacement coils for all major brands.
What does VG/PG ratio mean?
VG (vegetable glycerin) produces thicker vapor clouds. PG (propylene glycol) carries flavor better and provides a stronger throat hit. A 70/30 VG/PG ratio is the most popular for sub-ohm devices. 50/50 works best for lower-power devices and mouth-to-lung vaping.
Do you carry nicotine salt e-liquids?
Yes. We stock nicotine salts in strengths from 20mg to 50mg across dozens of flavors. Nic salts deliver nicotine faster with a smoother throat hit, making them ideal for pod systems and transitioning smokers.
Can I try flavors before buying?
Absolutely. We have a tasting station in-store with our most popular flavors available for sampling. Our staff can also recommend profiles based on your preferences — whether you lean toward tobacco, menthol, fruit, or dessert.
Orders & Policies
What is your return policy?
Unopened products can be returned within 14 days for a full refund with receipt. Defective devices are covered under the manufacturer's warranty — bring it in and we'll handle the claim for you. E-liquids cannot be returned once opened for hygiene reasons.
Do you price-match?
Yes. Show us a verified competitor price on any identical, in-stock product and we'll match it — including online retailers. Just pull up the listing on your phone at the register.
Do you have a loyalty program?
Yes. Every dollar spent earns 1 point. Accumulate 100 points and get $5 off your next purchase. Bulk orders of 10+ e-liquids also qualify for a 10% discount. Ask at the counter to enroll — it's free.
What are your store hours?
Monday–Friday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM. Saturday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Sunday: 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM. We're located at 8500 Chambers Street, New York, NY 10007.
Device Care & Safety
How do I clean my vape device?
Disassemble the tank from the mod. Rinse the tank, drip tip, and glass under warm water, then let them air-dry completely. Wipe the mod body with a dry cloth — never submerge it. For a deeper clean, bring it in and we'll do an ultrasonic cleaning for $10.
Is it safe to charge my device overnight?
We don't recommend it. Most modern devices have overcharge protection, but it's best practice to charge on a flat, non-flammable surface while you're awake. Use the cable that came with the device or a dedicated external battery charger for removable cells.
When should I replace my batteries?
Replace batteries when they no longer hold a charge through normal use, show any dents or tears in the wrap, or are over 12 months old with heavy use. We sell batteries and offer free re-wrapping if your current wraps are damaged.
