I'm about to lose my mind.

Okay, I got a Gamucci starter kit for xmas. So begins my troubles.
After quickly exhausting the 5 cartridges they gave me I ordered a refill liquid called 'Veppo." After waiting 10 days to finally get this thing going, I find it doesn't work. I have looked around for troubleshooting sites and got nearly nothing out of it. I dropped 3 drops into the empty cartridge, no smoke. I dropped another. A little bit. I dropped 2 more. A little tiny bit, then nothing. What in the hell is going on and how do I fix it? My batteries are charged, I've tried both of em. I'm beginning to thing this e-cig thing is gonna be a major waste of money.

Thanks!

No...it is not a waste. Just retrun that e-cig for your 30 day money back and buy a better one like a Joye 510. Problem solved. E-cigs are like autos. Some are good and some are bad. buy a good e-cig and get good performance and less maintanance issues...buy a bad one and it'll piss you off and nickle and dime you to death.

AGREED!!! You get what you pay for and thats all there is to it(unless you buy from smoking everywhere of course) lol

I have never heard of a Gamucci ecig. Why not try to drip a couple of drops of eliquid on the atmozier and see if this helps. If the atomizer and battery are working this should produce vapor. I don't know where this came from but if this does not work then I would return it and get something else. You can read the forum to see what everybody recommends.

E-mail the customer support from where the e-cig was bought. I would not do another thing until you have made contact with the seller! Then either keep it or return it. I would still do some research here on the forums though.

May I just ask what you ended up paying for this?

 

[HzG8rGrl]

I thought it was a x-mas gift????? Maybe from him/her self???

 

[Victor7]

It was an xmas gift from my dad. And I'm guessing he paid around 85-90$ for it. The Veppo 30 mL drops were 30$... Gamucci is how I found about ecigs, apparently they're all the rage in Britain

Welcome to the long, frustrating but ultimately wonderful world of vaping! You have paid your initiation dues, now start reading to learn how to make it a rewarding experience. Unfortunately most people begin the journey just as you have. We spend/waste a bunch of money buying the wrong things a wonder "how those people in the videos get all that vapor."
My suggestion is to read all you can on this forum for a few weeks and then make an informed decision.
Good luck and don't give up. They DO work. I've been cig free for over 4 months now after smoking for 40 years! I have virtually no wish to smoke an analog (real cigarette) anymore. You can do it, it just takes a little reading and effort.

I agree with Martha. Take the stuffing out of your cartridge and drop a couple of drops right on the atty. Replace the blank cartirdge (so you don't burn your lips) and see if that works.

 

[Victor7]

Okay, let me get this straight cause I am new at all of this (dare I admit it..). What y'all are say is remove the stuffing at the bottom of the cartridge and drop some in there, or literally placing drops on the metal bands of the atomizer?

 

[Bekinder]

Victor, I think you have that right after reading through the posters here. Sometimes you have to really puff on one several times to get the atty going properly. When I clean mine, it take some puffs, several with no inhale to get the atty heating enough to vaporize the ejuice.

So sorry you are having this problem. Beginning is difficult because you have a learning
experience with a unit. I've only been doing this since Nov 1 09 as my quit date.
I have spent too much money on supplies and juices. Now I have enough units and
supplies, I should not have to buy anything for sometime. It's discouraging when you
are new at something and the product (expensive one at that) is not doing what you expected.

If you get the puffing to work and get some good vapor inhales, then you will know what
it's suppose to taste like. If it begins too taste odd and burned, time for some more drops.

Hope it all works out for you. Good luck!

 

[Victor7]

So, juices on the atomizer bands or underneath the stuffing in the cartridge?

 

[Bekinder]

Atomizer bands..just two to three drops then puff, puff, puff!

 

[Greeneyeddevil]

We started out with a Gamucci we bought at a store locally and if we had to stick with that we wouldn't still be vaping lol. Those are way overpriced and we couldn't get ours to work worth a crap grrrrr.... We came across this site and ended up getting Joye 510 no-box kits from cignot and it's been great and way cheaper. I would try to return the Gamucci if you can and see about getting a better and cheaper kit with plenty to spare for juice and extra atomizers

 

[HzG8rGrl]

Greeneyeddevil-can he remove the stuffing and do what others are advising without voiding the warranty? I have never seen one of those brands and do not know. I advise to return or get in touch with customer service.

I'm not really sure. We just got one of the disposable ones instead of the whole kit thank goodness. We paid $15 bucks just for the disposable and I don't think it even came with any extra carts. I found this picture of what the kit looks like

Gamucci America | Micro Starter Kits

I'm not positive but it looks in the pic like it uses cartomizers

I would definitely get a hold of customer service and see what could be done. If he can't get a refund, does anyone know what model that is so maybe he can find different parts elsewhere for it?

 

[Kimber]

Atomizer bands..just two to three drops then puff, puff, puff!

Yep. Here's a video so you don't think I'm crazy. If you have an automatic battery instead of a manual with a button, I would just use 2 drops until you feel comfortable that you're not going to flood the battery. It says Liberation ecigs but it works with almost any ecig. It's the method I use on my 510.

What, Gamucci or e-cigs in general?

 

[seminolewind]

Make sure that the atty part is actually making good contact with the battery part. Sometimes I get attys that are not, so I switch a few times till I get one that's making contact.
