I just got my e-cig today and recharged it for at least 4 hours and when I try to turn it on, it is still flashing red and if I try turning it on while charging, it flashes red too. It also looks on when it's recharging because of the white light around the turn on button, this normal?
E-cigarette, battery flashing red

Welcome to ECF, Yepppp. Do you have a user manual for the device, or have you contacted the vendor?
I haven't contacted them because I didn't want to wait 3 days or so for a reply to an e-mail. I do have a manual I'll check to see if it says anything about this
Cool cool, I would give it another hour on the wall charger and then assemble and fill.
Watch a few youtube videos about the unit while it charges. Pay attention to how the reviewers are inhaling and the general functions of the unit.
Which coil have you installed?
Welcome to the ECF.
Cheers
I
think it was a 1.2 ohm coil, the blue one but the reviews don't show any recharging, just taste testing and product testing so I don't know but I'm for sure hoping for the wall recharge to work
That's strange that the manual doesn't detail the LED codes and colors. I tried to d/l a manual from Vaptio's site but it (the manual) isn't available, or it's just not easy for me to find.
eta: BTW, the email address for Vaptio is support@vaptio.com.
Manual just shows u have to tap 5 times and it's on and then hold the button to vape but nothing is happening when I do that
Hi. Try this..
Take the coil off.
hold the button down. What does the light do? Color, flashing?
Then give it 5 quick clicks. Quick.
Then hold the button. What is the light doing.
Then put the coil in, with juice.
Hold the button.
Then 5 click it quick, and try it again.
So, you have 4 things to try and report back.
Good luck, Yepppp

I looked around the web.
It flashes RED when you do a 5-click, either off or on. Odd, since then we don't know if it is off or on. Kind of important to know in these gadgets. lol
Charging, the light around the power button will flash white while it is charging and switch to a solid white light when fully charged.
Make sure you have installed the coil correctly, and make sure it is primed with a drop of juice.
And I would then try the other coil.
Do you have a voltmeter/ohmmeter? (to check the coil)
Best of luck

Hi, I was holding it down for a solid 10 seconds without coil and it didnt show any light, tapped it 5 times and it flashed red 3 times. While recharging it was flashing at first but has been static white for some time now.
It doesnt have any volt or ohm meter, I btw am very new to this so but I followed a tutorial and did what they did so im guessing it should work but whenever its on and I hold the button, It just flashes red like 5 or 6 times

I just noticed something in this video at 1:48 ish he taps it 5 times and it turns on, and then when he holds it, it turns white. If I do the same thing It turns on but that when I hold it, it just flashes red
I would guess that the red flashes (when firing the device) indicate either a bad battery, or a bad (or incorrectly connected) coil. I believe you may have to contact the manufacturer or vendor for support, even if it does take a few days.
Man, when I take the coil off, it shows the same flashing lights, guess its the unremovable battery, great.

I disagree. Since it show the same flashing lights whether the coil is on or off, then I'd think the coil is no good. It has the ability to know if the coil is shorted or open, not making a circuit. I thin it is open.
When you screw the coil into the top cap, just get it on "lightly" tight. Don't crank it too tight.
I'm thinking the center of the coil isn't making contact with the battery.
If the coil has juice on it, you could try to screw the coil into the battery without the glass sleeve or the top cap. Just to test it, hit the button for no more than a scant second. Just to see if you still get the red blinks. If you do, then my bet is a bad open coil.
Did you try the other coil?
I feel for you, bro. If I waited for my first vape, then it didn't work, I'd ..., I'd ....
ok, I'd really be postal!
OH. MY. GOD. I feel so stupid now, literally didnt pay much attention and when trying to switch coils, I tried to get the blue one out and noticed it was stuck and I looked and thought about what you said about the battery not touching the coil and I realised I put the coil in the wrong way down FAIL. Blue coil still stuck in there, hope I can get it out. This thing is glued in there, literally super stuck

My guess is that the light is telling you there is a short or not detecting atomizer.
