I placed an order with Smoke Cartel for three items. All three items were received at the same time. One of the items is called a Pulsar Shift; which is a weed and wax vaporizer. I plugged in the Pulsar Shift to charge it. After being plugged in for over fifteen hours, the item will not charge or turn on. I contacted Smoke cartel via their customer service portal and received an email back from someone named Brian, asking me, "does it light up like it should when you are charging it?" In the interim, I logged into my account on the Smoke Cartel website and found that I am unable to process a return because they do not show the item having been delivered while the other two items from my order show delivered. There is something else I found to be troubling. Smoke Cartel's return policy states that they will not accept a return of an electronic product that has been opened. Therein lies the problem: how am I supposed to ascertain whether an electronic product functions properly unless I open it up and plug it in? This is an awful way to conduct business. At this point, my only recourse is to report the transaction to my credit card company. Conducting business online requires trust, and I do not trust that Smoke Cartel will do the "right thing" to rectify my order.

Bought their XVAPE rechargeable vape and after a couple weeks of experimenting with it I just couldn't get it to work well for me so contacted Smoke Cartel to return it for refund or exchange for a more expensive vape that might work better. They did respond in a timely manner but informed me that if they could tell it had been used they couldn't refund or exchange. REALLY? Exactly how do they expect someone to find out how it works without trying the product first? Any wonder Amazon is taking over the world with their no questions asked returns? These folks don't have to worry about taking over anything with their customer care policy! My order # ******* FYI

Hi Ron! We cannot accept returns or exchanges on used products for legal reasons as I'm sure you understand! We do our best to work with customers in the case of defective items, in which case of course we'd be happy to issue a replacement or work with the vendor directly to see if there's any sort of warranty program in place that covers defects. However we can't exchange items that have been used simply due to personal preference. We highly suggest thoroughly reviewing the specs of the product you're looking to purchase and reading other customer reviews before placing your order. I'm very sorry the function of the XVape wasn't for you! If you'd like any recommendations on vapes that may better suit your needs and desires our team is more than happy to help. Have an awesome rest of your day, Ron!
