Just received my fume kit and extra cartridges that cost me $200 and it didn’t even taste like anything! They’re supposed to be a flavor there and you can’t barely even taste it!
Absolute waste of money. Can’t believe I spent this much money on a useless product.

We’re sorry to hear you’re disappointed with your FÜM experience. The flavor should be present, but it’s designed to be subtle. That said, we understand it can feel too light for some, and we’re sorry it didn’t meet your expectations.
Your feedback on both taste and value is important, and we’ll share it with our product team as we continue to improve. If you’d like us to review your order further, please contact us directly at support@breathefum.com so we can help.
Bullshit company
Bullshit company, complete scam.
I ordered extra cores almost 2 months ago now and have never received. Emailed support SEVERAL times and never had a response.
Pay almost £100 for a little wooden pipe, then when it comes to ordering more 'cores', even on their subscription model, you will just get constantly blanked by support and swept under the rug after paying.
Absolutely disgusting service. Do not purchase.

We’re very sorry to hear that you haven’t received your order and that your experience with our support team has been so frustrating. This is absolutely not the kind of service we want for our customers.
To clarify: FÜM never intends for orders to go unfulfilled or for customers to be left without answers. If your Cores haven’t arrived after two months, something has clearly gone wrong, and we sincerely apologize for both the delay and the lack of proper follow-up.
Please reach out to us directly at support@breathefum.com with your order number, and we’ll ensure this is escalated immediately so we can either get your order to you or arrange a refund.
We take your feedback seriously and will be working with our team to prevent situations like this in the future.
The guarantee is useless and they use…
The guarantee is useless and they use weasel words to get out of it. You must send everything back in the original box so the warranty they provide is useless and borders on illegal - the laws state clearly original packaging (note: this does NOT limit to "outer packaging only" like they claim but no original packaging whatsoever. Indeed, the wording of the law states that it is recommended to ensure protection of all items, but it is not *required*)
Anyway onto the device itself.
My son's review: It is awful. The flavours are nasty, the feel is "greasy" or "oily" on the throat and lungs.
There is no "drag" and changing the valve setting at the bottom makes no difference so the it feels like sucking through a normal straw is how he described it.
The urge to not vape did not dissipate at all over the 3 weeks he stuck with it (could not carry on as it was making him feel sick).
It took two weeks to arrive, directly from China, rather than being shipped from anywhere in the UK or EU.
Save your money. Rubbish product. Rubbish experience. Rubbish customer support.
Edit: My parcel absolutely came from China. The tracking showed it. The label showed it. And your response is weasel words - if you *really* cared, you would not block the return but you absolutely take this stance because you know it limits returns. You aren't "considering" anything because you could simply pivot and allow the return.
My experience is that you should avoid this company and their products. Even when you say something isn't working they demand video footage... how you are supposed to video a lack of "draw pressure" is beyond me. More weaseling.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and that the product didn’t meet your expectations.
To clarify, FÜM products are not shipped from China. We fulfill orders from either our US, UK or AUS warehouses to better serve customers worldwide. We understand that delivery delays can happen, and we’re working to improve shipping speed and reliability.
Regarding our warranty and return policy: we do ask customers to return items in their original packaging to help ensure products are protected during transit. This is a common industry practice, but we understand how it can feel limiting. We’ll review your feedback closely as we continue to improve.
As for flavor and usage: FÜM is designed to be a natural, air-based alternative with subtle flavor and sensory experience, not a replacement for the strong drag of vaping. While many customers find it helpful in reducing cravings, it’s clear this wasn’t the case for you, and we’re sorry it made you feel unwell.
We take feedback like yours seriously, and we’d be happy to look into your specific order if you reach out to us directly at support@breathefum.com.
I love this device already
I love this device already. Shipping was amazingly fast too. The crisp mint and cinnamon flavours are lovely, however the orange and vanilla is a little too subtle (but still nice).
I'm incredibly happy with this product and company so far... and have barely vaped since receiving the device.

Product took nearly 2 months to arrive - heavy delay in response
I placed an order as I was hoping to find a healthy alternative to smoking/vaping, I got the starter pack which cost just shy of £100. I receieved an email from the delivery agent explaining the package had been returned to sender due to the shipment being sent with "inproper documentation". I shortly after receieved a "deleivered" email from FUM. I have been attempting to get in contact with them for weeks now and have been ignored.
Edit: it did eventually arrive after 1.5 months and I was appreciative for the contact that was made finally but the lack of the response to my initial contact attempts was very disappointing.

Dont waste your money!!
no flavour, absolutely useless. may as well just suck my finger. they say flavour may not be as strong as vape but it's seriously non existent. I know it's air but I didn't expect it to be absolutely like sucking air. I could have picked up a free straw from a fast food restaurant and gotten the same benefit and saved $200.

We’re sorry to hear you didn’t have a positive experience with FÜM. While our device is intentionally air-based and designed to provide a subtle, natural flavor experience (not as strong as vaping), we understand that the sensation can feel too light for some.
Our Cores are made with high-quality, lab-tested essential oils, no nicotine, no vapor, and no harmful chemicals, which makes the experience different from what many are used to. Some people appreciate the gentle flavor and oral fixation it provides, but it’s clear this didn’t meet your expectations.
We value your feedback and will share it with our product team as we continue improving both our flavors and how we set expectations for new customers. If you’d like us to take a closer look at your order, please reach out to support@breathefum.com.

We’re sorry to hear you had such a negative experience. Taste is subjective, and while many customers enjoy our flavors, we understand they don’t work for everyone.
To clarify, our marketing is based on real testimonials from customers who’ve found success in their quit journey. We do partner with influencers, but they are required to share their honest opinions, and we never ask for or support fake reviews.
Regarding refunds: our policy requires products to be unopened for safety and quality reasons, which we recognize can feel restrictive. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll continue reviewing our policies and communication so expectations are clearer upfront.
If you’d like us to review your specific order, please contact our team directly at support@breathefum.com. We’d love the chance to help where we can.
Please read the reviews before…
Please read the reviews before investing. As many people have said, the "pitch" is great. Purchase a sophisticated looking device that will help you kick a bad habit. However, as many people have said, the cartridges that they sell are overpriced and taste awful. The catch...no returns after you've experienced it for yourself. They claim for health reasons they cannot accept anything opened which I understand but, how are you supposed to know if you are satisfied without opening the product?? Trust me on this, you're likely better off without spending nearly $200 like we did.

We’re sorry to hear your experience with FÜM wasn’t what you hoped for. We understand how frustrating it can feel when expectations don’t align with reality.
To clarify, our return policy does require products to be unopened for safety and quality reasons, since once opened, we can’t guarantee the product hasn’t been tampered with. While this is standard in many wellness product industries, we know it can feel limiting, especially when trying something for the first time.
As for flavors and pricing: our Cores are made with high-quality, lab-tested essential oils and are designed to be reusable with the FÜM device, which helps reduce waste compared to single-use alternatives. That said, taste is personal, and we understand our blends aren’t for everyone. Your feedback on this is valuable and will be shared with our product team as we continue to refine.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, it helps us improve. If you’d like us to look into your specific order further, please reach out to support@breathefum.com.

I ordered these to help my girlfriend quit vaping because she knows how much I hate it and after spending $200 and waiting two weeks for it to come in, we used them for three days because they kept making us sick, nauseous, and giving us a constant headache, and there's no way for me to get my money back for something we don't use. $200 down the drain.

My Unfortunate FUM Experience
I placed an order with FÜM under the impression that I was supporting a Canadian company, as their branding, website, and corporate identity are all tied to Canada. However, what I quickly discovered was that fulfillment was actually being done out of the United States, specifically Las Vegas, right in the middle of ongoing tariff and duty concerns between Canada and the U.S. This lack of transparency felt misleading, as there was no indication during checkout that orders would be shipped from outside of Canada.
When I realized this, I attempted to cancel my order immediately. FÜM refused, stating it had already been fulfilled, even though I had raised my concerns before receiving the shipment. Instead, they directed me into a cumbersome returns process. To even qualify for a return, it must be within 30 days, and you are not allowed to open the package at all. In fact, they will require you to send photos proving the package has not been opened before they will even provide a return shipping label.
On top of that, I had to pay an additional return processing fee and use a Canada Post return label to send the item back across the border to the U.S. Be aware: the Canada Post label and service they provide does not allow for tracking, which means you have no visibility or assurance on the status of your package once you hand it over. This adds even more risk and frustration to an already difficult return process.
Customer service was another weak point. Responses were slow, often taking several days, and they clearly do not work weekends. This left long gaps in communication and delayed the resolution even further, adding to the overall frustration.
Even after providing proof that the package was unopened and in perfect condition, they still required multiple steps before issuing the refund. While I did eventually receive it, the overall experience left me very disappointed.
In summary, while I did get my money back, I would caution others: if you are expecting a Canadian-based fulfillment and customer experience, that is not what you will get with FÜM. The lack of transparency around shipping origin, the restrictive return policy (30 days, unopened package with photo proof), the extra costs of returning items to the U.S., the fact that the return label has no tracking, the slow and limited customer service, and the persistence required to see the process through were extremely disappointing.

Thank you for sharing such a thorough account of your experience. We’re truly sorry that it left you feeling frustrated and disappointed.
We want to clarify a few points: while FÜM is a Canadian-founded company, we currently fulfill orders from the U.S. to help us ship more efficiently to customers worldwide. That said, we understand how this could feel unclear during checkout, and we’ll review how we communicate this so expectations are set more transparently.
Regarding our return policy: it’s designed to protect product safety and quality, which is why we require items to remain unopened. We recognize that this can feel restrictive, especially when trying a product for the first time. Your suggestion around sanitization or alternate handling is appreciated, and we’ll pass it along to our team as we continue reviewing policies.
As for the return process itself, you’re right, it should be simpler and more transparent. The lack of tracking and the multiple steps you described are not the seamless experience we want for our customers. We’re actively looking at ways to improve this, along with reducing response times from our support team so customers never feel left waiting.
We’re glad that you did ultimately receive your refund, but we also know that the process left a negative impression. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll be using it to improve both communication and customer experience moving forward.

I would give them zero stars if possible. My elderly, disabled parents purchased their product online, CORRECTLY input all the shipping information only to have it changed to an old address by the third party shipping app it navigated to. They’re $200 worth of merchandise was sent to the wrong address and they were completely unaware of this for over a week when they reached out to the company and found out about the address change. The company told him if they sent another hundred dollars, they could re-ship their merchandise. They’re both on disability and couldn’t really afford the $200 they sent it in the first place. Then after a bit of back-and-forth, they were told they would be receiving a re-shipment at no cost to them by one of their customer service agents only to be followed up with a “never mind, sorry for ya” message (eight hours later) by somebody else. Terrible business ethic and abysmal customer service. You should be ashamed for not making this $200 error right.

We’re so sorry to hear about this experience. Especially knowing it involved your elderly parents. This is absolutely not the kind of situation we want for any of our customers.
To clarify: address details in the checkout process are entered and confirmed by the customer, but in rare cases, third-party carrier apps may update or pull older saved addresses, which can cause issues like the one you described. That said, we agree this should have been handled with much more care and consistency by our support team. The back-and-forth communication you experienced is unacceptable, and we’ll be reviewing this internally to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

To clarify: FÜM does not misrepresent our policies or refunds. We do offer a 30-day return window (with conditions outlined on our site), and we’re committed to honoring that. Shipping and processing times are normally much faster, but unexpected backlogs or carrier issues can unfortunately cause delays.

No where near worth the price. AWFUL customer service. DECEPTIVE marketing.
Product is not worth the money, nor does it appeal in the way it is marketed. Very deceptive. Also, to not accept returns is ludicrous, how is someone going to know if they will like it or not without opening and trying? Pay for the device to be sanitized upon return, or charge the customer a fee to do so. Pretty simple instead of just saying no you’re best out of 150 bucks. Ridiculous. 1000000% do not recommend. Product SUCKS. Customer service SUCKS EVEN MORE.

Customer service sucks - along with the product
Customer service sucks. They take a long time to respond and their policy is shit. Influencers claim “30 day satisfaction” and that’s BS. If you don’t like the product (even if it makes you sick), you’re sh!t out of luck. Once it’s been opened, you can’t return and even if it hasn’t been opened, they expect you to payments the return shipping label fee.
It tastes like cinnamon and spices - no matter the flavor. There’s no “relief” experienced after consuming, so if you’re hoping to quit smoking or vaping, this ain’t it. I now have $200 worth of product I was very excited about and it’s useless.

Read before you order and make sure if you pay for express shipping they aren't backed up because you will not get a refund even though its not your fault
So I ordered this product lastnight for my uncle's birthday I paid for express shipping so it would reach him before or on his birthday. We'll today i receive an email saying there are delays with them getting the product out and delivered on time. So I asked if I could get a refund for express shipping amd they told me no that they aren't able to do that mind you the order said unfulfilled . So the I ask for a refund and they to me NO because my order is in processing now which is wired because I just checked it amd its a good thing I took a screen shot before they changed it to processing. I would read the fine print and make sure you ask how busy or backed up they are if your looking to save money and time. If your company is running behind and you know you cannot get orders put on time you should not have the express shipping option available. Also I could not use my discount code neither even though the order wasn't processed they said it was to late. It would be one thing if they were willing to make things right or let me cancel my order but all im getting is a bunch of of empty apologies for their mess up.

FUM refuses to refund my order…
FUM refuses to refund my order because it's processing (A common predatory tactic in hopes the customer won't return to sender or ship the order back out of their own pocket so they (FUM) can keep the money)
Note: The order hasn't been shipped, today is Sunday (So they can't ship) and it has been late Friday since an order was placed, so they have no reason to refuse this request.
I'd advise others to avoid this business and look for others that provide more ethical and customer friendly policies.
Also note: You can report them to Shop/Shopify and any payment processors you might have used to bring the issue to light.
Edit: They finally refunded after enough pressure.

We’re sorry to hear you felt your experience with us wasn’t positive. We understand how frustrating it can be to want to cancel an order quickly. Our system begins processing orders soon after they’re placed so they can ship as fast as possible, and once processing begins, we’re often unable to cancel in time.
