If it isn't totally cooled off sometimes i do have to push the ignition switch a couple of times, but when cool it usually lites the first time.
Put the liquid on the cotton filler in the mouthpiece. Only a drop on the cake in the pod. When you draw on the device it will pull the juice out of the mouthpiece and into the pod.

Thanks for the great feedback, everyone. I will have to break mine out and try it again!
I picked mine back up a couple days ago. It seemed to be producing nice amounts of vapor... Break in? So I decided to drip 2 drops in a fresh pod. Made more vapor. I have been using this thing for the past few days about half the time and the e-cig the other half. I am kind of taking a liking to it. Have not yet tried a clean pod with silica and juice only, nor have I tried refilling with juice. Original verdict was bad, now it is much better.
I got a ploom today 
I will do some videos but unfortunately won't be able to post them here

This guy on youtube did a vid. YouTube - Ploom Review!
If anybody who got a ploom wants to resell it, send me a pm
edit: but he obviously knows nothing about e cigs. Good way to check out the vapor production though.

Wow, watching that vid makes me wish I would have given mine a bit more time... lol. I didn't get ANY vapor. I'm starting to think the pod was junk.. should've tried another one. Oh well...
+2, someone take that kid's camera away. Seems way too sure of himself.
I have two now and started on videos. I'm not being so nice about the ploom as that guy
Haha sorry I linked it, I just wanted to see some vapor production from somebody and I thought some others would like it to.
Yeah, it was good to see the vapor, I just wanted to drag him out into the yard and give him a huge wedgie about two minutes into it. 
My only real complaint about the Ploom is the mouthpiece is so critical to the operation...but it falls off extremely easily. After only getting an opportunity to try a few pods, the mouthpiece was misplaced and I set the Ploom aside. The other day I decided to give it another chance, but right after ordering more mouthpieces* I found the original one. Excited, I grabbed a pod flavor I hadn't tried yet, made sure the Ploom had plenty of butane and put it in my shirt pocket to try in the car. ...but by the time I reached for it, the mouthpiece had popped off somewhere in transit rendering the Ploom again useless until the new mouthpieces arrive. :doh:
*When I tried to order a pair of replacement mouthpieces for $4.95, I was only given one option for shipping at $10.52, so I contacted Customer Service who sent the following:
So +1 for Ploom Customer Service! I'm still a bit concerned about how easily the mouthpiece falls off, but I suppose being in beta this is something they could improve on in future revisions. Additionally or alternately, creating a fitted protective carrying case could really help in this regard.
I actually think that the Ploom has some very good potential in the marketplace. Being that it vaporizes actual tobacco (or non-tobacco herbal blends) in a well packaged cartidge, it isn't in danger of being classified as a medical device. The price on the pods is, IMO, a bit steep and I think it could be significantly improved by a slightly larger pod.
As it stands, the Ploom is basically a very small penstyle hookah. In its present iteration, I don't think it is "ready for prime time" as a complete substitute for smoking, but I think it has the potential to get there.
