Help! I just got a Joytech Egrip and it won't work.

[Moody Boo]

I just received my Joytech Egrip today and I can't get it to give me a hit. I've been charging it for two hours, I took the coil out and put it back in (as advised on youtube), but still when I push the button to take a draw, it just flashes a few times and appears to go dormant until I push the button again. It's very cold here lately, so I thought the cold probably drained the battery in transit and it's so dead I can't hit it while it's charging. Does anyone have suggestions, or verification that I just need to charge it overnight, or something? Or do I just need to send it back? I'd so appreciate any advice you'd love to sling my way! Thank you in advance! Moody Boo

Welcome to ECF!

It sounds like you didn't charge it enough. If you got a manual with it, now would be a good time to check it out. If you didn't get a manual, you can get one here eGrip Manual

Did you over-tighten the atty? I have seen one report from a joyetech supplier that over-tightening the "screw slot" atty base will cause problems with it not firing. Try backing it off a a quarter turn.

Count the flashes then;
40 = time to recharge
10 = pressing fire button too long
5 = short circuit
Flashing while pressing fire button = atomizer not making connection

and

When fully charged, the flashing light goes out. (opposite of the instructions)
Note: after charging light goes out, it starts flashing again as soon I move mine.
