I am an extremely new user. Just got my mini yesterday. Charged it the 12 hours put the new cartridge in (menthol) and tried it. It worked:D then didn't:( And I haven't been able to get it to work after the first two puffs.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I am sure it is something.:confused:
Can anyone help? I am really impatient I did leave a message at Puresmoke last night but I want to know now. I know I am terrible. So pretty please if any one can help I would be very appreciative.

Thanks,

Mechele

The cartridge might have flooded the atomizer. First, take out the cartridge, and put the blank mouthpiece back in. Try taking a short hard puff or two. If still nothing, try changing batteries. The first one may have been defective. If that still doesn't work, it may be a defective atomizer. If you bought a spare, try it. If not, or if that doesn't work, you'll have to exchange it.

Could be a number of issues as far as I can tell... if you have any spare parts, see if you can swap out 1. battery. 2. atomizer.

If you just bought a starter pack only with no atomizer - then you should have an extra battery, correct? See if the other battery would work for you.

If it still doesn't work, then try out a new atomizer. Again, if you bought a starter kit with no spares, then you are out of luck. See if the atomizer isn't flooded (but with a pre-filled cartridge it really shouldn't) - and in that case, try washing the atomizer off with running hot water (don't burn yourself), blow excess water out from the battery side, and let it stand on top of paper towel to drain overnight - and see if that works.

If it still doesn't work, then you should contact Puresmoker to replace them. They are very good and responsible folks, you shouldn't have any problem - although they've been getting hit by so much orders right after their move to Tennessee. At the same time, depending on the model you've got - mini might be the 901 - try find a new atomizer for DSE901. (If you've got the Peewee, it's RN4081 atomizer you should look for, but I'm quite certain their Mini = DSE901)

BTW, Puresmoker's batteries do come pre-charged as far as I know... I don't think you need to charge it 12 hours. Maybe, just perhaps maybe, 12 hr of overcharging might have killed your batteries? (But inboard circuit should really protect the battery from overcharging, so it's unlikely... but you never know with Chinese QC. ;))

OK I feel realy realy dumb right now.:p I figured out what I did wrong. I didn't push the cartridge in far enough.:oops: No said it would be so tight. It didn't wiggle or anything so I thaught it was in. My hubby came home looked at it and push it down all the way. Wow do I look silly! But I have learned alot from all of your advice incase something actually goes wrong.

It works great now go figure. LOL:lol:

Thanks again,
Silly Me
