Overview of Lookah customer service
Lookah is a consumer electronics brand focused on portable e-rigs, vaporizers and glass-electronic hybrids. Customer service for these products centers on three activities: pre-sale guidance (model selection and compatibility), post-sale support (warranty/repairs) and logistics (shipping, returns, replacements). As of 2024 most manufacturers in this category operate a centralized support portal that handles 70–90% of inquiries via web form or email, with phone escalation reserved for complex warranty cases.
Understanding Lookah’s support workflow helps you get faster results: open a ticket with clear documentation, expect an initial triage reply within 24–72 hours, and an RMA or repair estimate within 3–10 business days depending on workload. If you bought through a third-party retailer (Amazon, eBay, local vape shops), the retailer’s return window — often 14–30 days — and their own policies will take precedence for returns.
How to contact Lookah: channels and expected response times
The most reliable starting point is the manufacturer’s official website: https://lookah.com. Look for a “Contact” or “Support” page; most brands provide a web ticket form plus an official support email (commonly shown in the site footer). Typical response benchmarks in this industry are: automated acknowledgement immediately, human triage within 24–72 hours, technical troubleshooting within 2–5 business days, and a definitive RMA decision within 3–10 business days.
If you require faster escalation, mention order number, purchase date and “urgent” in the subject line — authorized distributors often provide phone escalation for verified purchasers. Keep in mind that phone support is less common for international customers; for cross-border purchases you should be prepared to handle shipping and customs paperwork if an RMA is required.
Warranty, returns and repairs: step-by-step
Most consumer vaporizer brands offer a 12-month limited warranty covering manufacturing defects (verify your exact terms on the invoice or the product page). The typical sequence is: (1) confirm that the issue is a manufacturing defect (not wear-and-tear or user damage), (2) submit evidence (photos/videos + serial + order number), (3) receive an RMA authorization, and (4) ship the item to an authorized repair center. Out-of-warranty repairs or replacements often carry fees (estimates commonly range $25–$120 depending on the component).
Return windows depend on where you bought the product. Direct purchases from Lookah or an authorized site often allow returns within 14–30 days for unopened goods. Retailers like Amazon may have different policies and handle returns directly. Expect restocking fees of up to 10–20% in some cases for opened items, and remember that consumables and glass components are frequently excluded or handled differently.
When an RMA is authorized, the vendor will provide a shipping address and an RMA number — always write the RMA number on the outside of the package. Ship via a carrier with tracking and insurance (USPS Priority, UPS, DHL), and keep the receipt; lost-in-transit claims without tracking are commonly refused. Invoices for repairs and replacement quotes should be provided in writing; typical turnaround for paid repairs is 7–30 business days depending on parts availability.
Shipping, international shipments and insurance
Domestic shipments within the United States generally move in 2–7 business days for standard shipping and 1–3 business days for expedited options. International shipments commonly take 7–21 business days depending on customs clearance. If your order is delayed beyond the carrier’s published transit time, open a support ticket with the order number, the carrier tracking number, and the date of shipment.
For international buyers expect additional costs: customs duties, VAT/GST, and brokerage fees. Lookah and other manufacturers typically list duties as the customer’s responsibility. If you need the vendor to mark the package a certain way, request documentation before shipment — but be aware that falsifying customs information is illegal. Always insure shipments for the full declared value when sending returns or RMAs; insurance claims require declared value and tracking evidence.
Troubleshooting common issues before filing a claim
Before opening a support ticket, perform reproducible troubleshooting steps and document them. Common quick fixes include: ensuring the unit is fully charged (use original charger), cleaning electrical contacts with isopropyl alcohol, checking and replacing glass or atomizer components, and trying a different power source or cable. Firmware updates or user-replaceable coils/ceramics are often the culprit and can be resolved without an RMA.
Record a short video (15–60 seconds) showing the problem from start to finish — this reduces back-and-forth with support and shortens resolution times. If the device powers on but performs poorly, note battery voltage, error lights, and model/serial numbers; if it does not power on at all, confirm charger functionality with a multimeter or a known working cable to rule out simple power issues.
Documentation to include with your support request
- Order number, purchase date and retailer (invoice or screenshot). If bought from Lookah, include transaction ID and shipping address.
- Exact model name and serial number (e.g., “Lookah Seahorse Mini, SN: XXXXX”), firmware version when applicable.
- Clear photos (front/back) and a short video showing the malfunction; include a ruler or coin in photos for scale when reporting broken glass.
- List of troubleshooting steps already tried (charging time, cable swap, cleaning, reset), plus any error messages or LED patterns.
- Preferred resolution: refund, repair, replacement, or part-only replacement — and willingness to pay for out-of-warranty service if needed.
Providing these items up front typically shortens response time by 30–60% and reduces the chance of being asked for additional evidence.
Typical resolutions, costs and timelines
- Remote troubleshooting and resolution: 24–72 hours. No shipping required; simple fixes like settings or firmware fixes.
- RMA-approved part replacement (glass, mouthpiece, coil): 3–10 business days after the part is in stock; shipping additional.
- Full unit replacement under warranty: 7–21 business days including inbound and outbound shipping; refurbished units are common for replacements.
- Out-of-warranty repairs: cost estimate 5–14 days; typical fees $25–$120 depending on component and labor.
- Refunds after return receipt: 5–14 business days to process once the returned item is received and inspected.
These ranges are industry-standard benchmarks; actual times depend on stock levels, geographic location and peak seasons (e.g., November–January sees higher volumes). Always confirm the specific SLA (service-level agreement) and any shipping addresses provided in the RMA email before sending items.

We use a warehousing and shipping facility in LA, California, USA, which is where the order for Lookah products will be shipped from.
Why isn’t my Lookah working?
If the connection between the battery and the cartridge is too loose or too tight, the device may not work. Additionally, If a cartridge has leaked, the residue from the oil or wax can prevent the cartridge from making a good electrical connection with the battery.
Why is my Lookah clogged?
Debris or Residue Buildup in Airway
As you enjoy your vape, a portion of the vape liquid vaporizes, cools down and become harden in airway, leaving behind tiny residue. Over time, these remnants accumulate, gradually narrowing the airflow holes within the cartridge and leading to clogs.
How to fix atomizer fault Lookah?
This can be caused if the thread is dirty or the atomizer coil is not making good contact.
- Unscrew and take off the 710 coil.
- Replace the coil and turn on the device to see if it now works.
- If the fault remains, please try a different 710 coil to see if that resolves the fault.
