New Bada-Bing e-gar... am i missing something here?

[GrimmGreen]

i'm not sure if this is normal , or if i'm just missing something here... but i can't get any air through this thing... nothing nada , when i try to draw i can hear the switch moving back and forth but that's about it , it's like sucking on a pencil , no air moving at all... any ideas? figurehead?

That's not normal. When I draw on the BB, it's almost silent and it's literally like breathing, no effort at all. Can you draw without the mouthpiece?

no not at all , i took the mouthpiece off and the battery cap off and i still get nothing... no airflow at all

Warranty? Definitely not supposed to do that. I'd try sending it back for replacement.

GG I am sorry to hear of your problems Will the member take it back??
Did they claim there are any issues before you bought it?? which I am sure they did not Giving the benfit of the doubt to all of our members, maybe something happened in shipping
My ecigar from Ruyan, heavens gift, the 2nd atomizer was somewhat tempermental, I spoke to Wayne, he gave me a bunch of advice and sure enough it started to work

Maybe you can email Wayne at HG or Steve at PS and see if they can be of help

You might as well try everything in the book then. Here's figurehead's cleaning method. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/puresmoker/9933-bada-bing-club-3.html#post206929 Maybe it could loosen whatever gunk is in the atomizer tube. Does the atomizer turn on at all?

well... i just finished charging the battery all the way , green light status , plugged it in... nothing , i sucked REALLY hard a few times and now there is a very very slight airflow but no LED and no vapor

i did , let me know how yours is...

 

[Kevin]

Damn, I hope mines not like that.

 

[GrimmGreen]

Damn, I hope mines not like that.

i may have just got a bad one , if i order an atomzier for $22 it will total about as much as i would have paid for a starter kit anyway... but now i have no warranty..... dang...

If you are a little mechanical, there's a post where someone took it apart and rebuilt it. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/8368-cigar-rebuild-pics-bling-v2.html Really cool stuff. If you are interested in taking it apart to see what the blockage is, you can try his method.

Same here. Mine works but the draw is extremely hard...

I tried it with the batt. and cart out and got the same thing.

Must be something with the pressure switch.

 

[srtga]

OK, I pulled the cart and battery, went out to the garage, fired up the compressor and blew 125 psi through the damned thing from the battery end of the tube

The draw is still a little harder than I'd like but it's working OK...

dang , what have i got to loose? i'll give it a shot...

that's a good idea srtga , you think the quick stop down the street will mind if i use their air compressor for that?? ha ha

Same Issues here on the two units I've tried so far....both a very hard pull and very little vapour most of the time. I tried switching batteries /carts/atomisers but to no avail.

The only thing that works is if I drip and use the tip only. Plenty of vapour and decent throat hit dripping and it's a much easier pull.Seems to me it's definitely an issue with the cart/stuffing.

I'll just drip them 'til the attys die.

Mine's definitely not the cart stuffing. I can remove the cart, batt, and tip and draw through just the atom. tube and it's hard to draw...

I can feel the switch actuating. It "feels" like some sort of little flapper in there. Mine makes pretty good vape, I just have to suck on it 'till I'm cross eyed

Maybe I'm just spoiled by my 510...

Mine was stuck but drew real hard and heard a pop.The thing draws alittle hard but good vapor.The light sometimes stays on,could be sensitive switch.I took out cart filling and it was real hard or packed tight not like poly filling.I rinsed it out and loosened it up and added juice that seemed to help.

Mine makes vapor pretty well and did from the minute I got it. The draw is just a little hard. I actually drilled a .062 hole in the tube where the cart goees. This made it draw well but the vapor production went down

Maybe it's just the way they are...
