The VaporGenie Lifetime Warranty
All VaporGenie products are sold with a lifetime manufacturers warranty covering product defects and unreasonable failures. If your VG comes apart, cracks or otherwise fails with normal use, we will replace it. All we ask is that you send us a picture of the failure (by email). You do not need to return the broken VG. Go to the Warranty Replacement Request Page to send us a warranty claim. You will be required to upload a picture of the problem, and your mailing address. It usually takes us a couple days to respond. The Warranty Replacement Request page is also accessible from the Contact Us pull down menu.
There are some exceptions to the VaporGenie warranty: Soot-clogged filters are not covered, because soot accumulation is a result of improper use. Glass VaporGenie pipes are NOT covered against breakage. Generally, damage caused by misuse such as burning your VaporGenie pipe in a fire or running it over with a truck are not covered.

Orders outside the United States are shipped by
There are 2 options for International Shipping:
- First Class International.
- First Class international usually takes from 7-12 days to be delivered, depending on location. Canada shipments usually take longer, around 2 weeks. Sometimes First Class International can take up to 3 weeks, in rare cases even a month.
- There is no tracking provided for First Class International. However, First Class International is still pretty reliable for Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Scandinavia. If you want to be able to track your package, then you must select Express Mail International.
- First Class International costs between $5 and $12 USD depending on the shipping weight of your final order.
- Express Mail International Shipping
- Faster, more reliable, and tracking capable service.
- Express Mail International takes 5-10 days depending on location.
- Costs $30 USD or more depending on the shipping weight of your final order.
We recommend the Express Mail International Service, especially for orders of $100 USD or more.
It is a requirement of U.S. and International law to declare all goods shipped internationally. VaporGenies are declared as "Smoking Pipes". Customers are solely responsible for all international duty fees

I Don't Have a Credit Card, can I order by mail?
Yes! We accept orders by mail. Send cash (we prefer cash) or a money order and a note telling us what you want to order, your address, and an email address or phone number and a signed statement affirming you are at least 18 years of age. If you provide an email address, you will receive an email shipping confirmation, just like our regular website orders. We accept US dollars, Swiss Francs, Euros, Canadian Loonies, Chinese Yuan and of course precious metals. Just do an approximate currency conversion-we arent picky.
Here are some tips on sending cash in the mail:
1) Sending cash is NOT illegal, so dont worry about that. Its just not recommended by most people, because cash lost in the mail is cash lost forever. We like cash because we have received a few counterfeit money orders over the years.
2) Put cash inside of something like a brochure, small book, or magazine. Or use a padded or thick envelope so the cash cannot be detected.
3) Put your correct return address on the envelope, so it will be returned to you if something goes wrong. If you want extra certainty, send it by Certified Mail. Its only a few extra bucks, but Certified Mail requires that you go to the Post Office in person.
With these simple, common sense precautions, sending cash in the mail is very safe and reliable

Do you accept PayPal?
Sorry, we do not accept PayPal, however we do accept payments via Dwolla Click here to learn more about Dwolla . Several years ago, PayPal closed our account without warning and confiscated the money in our account (a few thousand dollars), until they completed a dubious "investigation". They refused to indicate when our money would be returned to us, or why exactly it was confiscated. After sending legal threats to PayPal, our money was returned, and we were blacklisted. PayPal and VaporGenie are not on speaking terms and we don't do any business with them. See this website for more information on why doing business with PayPal sucks: http://paypalsucks.com/
