One of my cherished electric hookah-doodles (genus and phylum: KR808d-1 manual pass through, provenance: vapor4life) has either completed its time as an electric hookah-doodle or fallen into a persistent vegetative state.
This is very traumatic, because I suppose I have killed it, or so displeased it that it no longer wishes to be my electric hookah-doodle, and I have no idea why or how this has occurred.
Everything was just fine, and I was away from the keyboard for maybe an hour and a half, if that. I didn't leave it plugged in, I always unhook them from the Special Wall Rodents, even if I'm just going to be away for a short time.
During the time I was away from it, no one else was even here, much less in my office hurting any hookah-doodles.
I know I didn't do anything sedation or loopiness-related to it, in fact, I was having such a good window that I had gone downstairs and made some pasta salad, which requires using both fire and sharp things, which I only do in the most auspicious moments.
I came back up, hooked both hookah-doodles back up to their respective Special Wall Rodents, put their cartomizers back on their little headless necks, and picked up the purple-adjacent one, pushed the pushybutton - and puffing did not take place!
I checked the connections. I swapped them around. I tried putting the cartomizer (one that had been filled by specially trained professionals at a factory, not me) that was SnapCracklePopping happily away in the white one onto the one that some might call almost mauve. It remained unresponsive.
I twirled the end of whatever disposable paper product was at hand into a point to remove the dirt. There wasn't very much. I tapped its end onto the napkin or kleenex or whatever it was as if it were a condiment container, thinking there was a blockage that would fall out. Nothing did.
I tried reasoning with it, pleading, every way I could think of to call back its spirit, all to no avail.
I looked through every single page of the "maintenance" section, and a pall of shame descended upon me, for almost none of the problems involved kr808d-1s at all, and not a single one was about an electric hookah-doodle.
And the suggestions for fixing wireless ones I shudder even to type!
It is a battery! Or at the very least, battery-inspired. And connected to an electrical cord! How could I dip such a thing into alcohol - which is a liquid!!?!
Finally, not knowing what else to do, I just put it in a box, and continued puffing with the white one alone.
To add additional stupidity to the whole tragic event, it was days before I could even bring myself to discuss it or to send off for a new one.
I can't really call it a "replacement," because you can't really replace an electric hookah-doodle with which you have bonded. Even if it was only your electric hookah-doodle for a month.
Do any of you know if there's anything I could do to resuscitate it that does not sound like Fast Track To Explosion Town?
In case there is some remedy that could be applied, I'm not so selfish as to let my shame and desolation keep some other person who needs to know and is too shy to ask from finding out about it, not to mention poor not-quite-lavender hookah-doodle. It never even got decorated.

I will say that with the broken tail it would work is I pushed and turned and did ugly things to it but only for a second... not long enough to placate its awful owner. You might try wrapping some tape around its tail to see if that will hold it steady enough to get some electricity. If the wires inside the poor thing's tail are completely broken though there is NO HOPE! WAAAAA!
