I originally purchased the disposable e-stick cigarette for my hubby but it wouldn't work. This happened twice more and the shop keeper thought it was our fault. I contacted Vype customer services who were brilliant and they said to send in the batch numbers of the e-sticks. That is when I Noticed that the expiry date was early 2014. Again Vype were vert helpful and when I sent the disposable ones back they sent my hubby a new re-chargeable e- stick which is great. Easy to use no messy liquid and you can charge the little case and it then charges you cigarette whilst it's not in use. Recommend this 100%.
