Sounds like you need to read up on mechanicals. By doesn't work what does that mean. Button doesn't move. Or when pushed doesn't light up the atomizer? What atomizer do you have on there? What ohms? Are the batteries charged?

First, we would need to know Which version.
V1 had several areas that needed addressing.
Top 510 brass ring losing contact to SS - some type of coating on the SS - Dremmel Wire wheel works wonders.
Bottom Spring needed to be replaces with a decent Hot spring - Horrible V-drop issues.
Top cap battery pin should be sanded clean.
Switch springs are known to fail - this usually results in a Dead Short condition, not open circuit.

Just looking at the design of it I would take the switch apart to check that it is deflecting the spring at the top and making contact as it should.
Not to insult you intelligence, but gotta ask. Is your button rotated to the ON position?
Been using mine with a Kick for over a year with no issues at all. Solid lil' unit.

While I understand where your coming from I said that I tried different batteries and tanks, and yes I would have tried the batteries already. and I would have said that the button wont work. but its none of that, It literally just does nothing, I push the button and I get nothing. I tried my Kayfun lite at .9ohm, I even tried a protank 2 but still nothing. Im guessing its a connection issue but have no idea how to fix that or if there has been problems with these and maybe someone knows?
Wow so I might have bought a piece of crap then, Dang. Sucks cause im not that mechanically incline. But ill look on youtube to see if someone has a video on those issues.
With good eyes this can be done through the side holes without disassemble.
There could be something there, I just looked through the holes and I see the button move in when I push it, But I don't see anything there it should hit.
The switch contact (horizontal) should 'hit' perpendicular on the pos pin (vertical) of the 510 connector. I can view both through the vent holes.
Im trying to watch videos now but I cant figure out how to take apart the head, most of the videos show them pulling the button off but it seems they don't have the black ring that turns it off there. Weird
Something like this:
Do you have and understand a Volt/ohm meter?
Testing is super simple if you do.
- to any part of the body
+ to center pin
Press switch and read

Why does yours not have the black on off turn piece around the button?
This is going to get ugly.......... I can feel it in my prosthetic leg!
Questions need to be answered for help to be meaningful.
The meter? It was in question form - not a plea for ANOTHER question.

Yes I have a meter but that will not do me any good if I cant get it apart. I have pretty much figured out its in the Head and possibly the spring that makes the connection. Please if your not going to be helpful I would appreciate you not posting on my thread.
That would be v1
You have v3 or v4
Irrelevant to testing. Do you have a Multi-meter?

Time to fire up an EGO until you can get it checked.
Unit is tested assembled with battery installed.
Test is to see if Closing the switch produces power to the 510 connection or not.
If yes, Brass ring is suspect.
If no, Battery/bottom spring/switch assembly need testing to see where the issue actually is.

Well I have other mods to use I just liked how this one worked with my Kayfun lite. The sigelei only cost me like $12 at 101vaps so im not that upset about it. And I have been reading that the sigelei's do have a lot of problems and you have to keep fixing them.
