They usually take multiple hours to charge, but how are you trying to turn it on? Generally it’s fiv or 6 fast clicks

IIRC it has a fairly large internal battery. Leave it plugged in for a few hours. Also what are you charging it with, a wall wart or are you trying to charge it off the USB of your computer?
As Eskie said, it has a large battery. Give it a few hours to charge fully. If it still has an error message on the display, contact the vendor for a replacement or refund. It's a SMOK, so expect issues to come up with these mods, even right out of the box.

Tried looking up what charger comes with this device – couldn’t find anything. It claims up to 1amp charging. I would not go any higher than that. If using a phone charger, ensure it does not go over 1amp – many of the newer ones are 2amp or more. USB off a computer is only 0.5amps…perfectly safe to charge your device with but will be slow. As already mentioned, plug it in and leave it for a few hours.
Have you tried holding the reset button for 10 seconds?
Good advice re. slow charging, and be on standby to replace.
With a little luck, it will charge.

Okay, I’ll let it charge while I’m at work and if it’s still giving me errors by then, I’ll see about getting a replacement mod from the website. I appreciate all of the fast responses! You guys are great!
May I suggest, actually stress, that you be present when you charge the device. If the device heats up, it is either over charging or defective in which case you should stop charging immediately. These batteries are quite powerful, and if pushed beyond their limits such as over charging, they can also be quite dangerous.
See if they will let you return it for a store credit. If they do let us know what about the G150 attracted you to it and maybe we can give you recommendations for a different kit. SMOK is not leading the industry in quality or customer satisfaction. No manufacturer is bullet proof but there are many better choices out there in almost all price ranges.
Are you sure it came with a charger? I've never heard of Smok (or no one off hand for that matter who include anything other than a USB cable) include one. What you're using to try ABC charge it is important so if this is not better by now please leave more information about that.
True... I bought a lot of mods and the only ones I remember coming with anything else than a USB cable was the old cig a likes and perhaps an ego.

That’s what I meant, it came with a usb plugin and I have a charging block for an iPhone that I attempted to use to charge it. When it didn’t work, I plugged the usb cable into my computer to try, and then my ps4. Nothing seemed to work. I’m currently going through the support process of gearbest in the hopes that I can get a refund, or at the very least a g150 replacement. I have tried resetting it, I held the button down for more than 10 seconds but the batter still was having errors. I’m just going to assume at this point that gearbest sent me a faulty vape. I’m not too worried about it. I understand these things happen.
Get a wall charger to plug that usb into. I never charge from computers or other devices.
The iPhone wall wart is fine, it outputs 1A which should be fine. Don't try to charge with your computer, the USB 2 port only puts out 500mA, and it's just not a reasonable way to charge I'm glad you're getting a replacement from
gearbest. Good luck.
gearbest. Good luck.
Another one bits the dust....
