What to do:

If you are in possession of a Vype eTank Pro and/or a stand alone battery for the Vype eTank Pro, please make sure you check the product code.

Devices purchased from Sainsbury’s have the code on the back of the Vype eTank Pro kits.

If you have an affected product, stop using it and return it. You will be offered either a replacement device or a full refund.
