Okay guys. Thanks for backing me up. I am so very disappointed and thought I was overreacting. sweet-vapes is the vendor. Here's what happened. I got it as a gift. (My parents ordered it for me for bday and I told them to use sweet vapes cuz I've used em in the past without issue but never for more than coils) egrip was defective. Made sure it had a full charge. It wouldn't fire. It just blinked. I tried the aspire bvc trick and it worked with those but I decided I want a device that works like it should with stock coils... Others agreed with me, it should work outta the box. However, I did try all the suggestion the kind folks from this thread and still got the same results. So I contacted them and made arrangements to return and exchange. I paid shipping to send it back (and think they shoulda paid it, but...) Then once they got it I made arrangements to have it overnighted and I paid the extra shipping for that, minus the few bucks they would have originally paid to ship it to me. And then you know the rest. I got the same unit back. TOTAL BS

now no one is answering phones or email of course. I am so angry.
