It's possible, or a duff battery. Did you charge the battery for a good few hours when you received it? Is the LED on the end lighting up when you take a drag? Is the e-cig getting warm at all?

Hi, yes I charged battery until light went green. The LED is lighting up when I try and take a drag, doesn't really seem to be getting warm.

Take off the mouth piece and take out the filler then blow backwards through it to clear it. Put the filler back in, it should be moist but not soaked.

You can also try to take a little puff without the mouth piece attatched to try and burn off any liquid that maybe drowning the atomiser but be careful not to burn it out, only do little puffs.

Ok, think I've got it now. Still hardly any vapour though, but maybe I'm expecting too much!

Thanks for your help :)

Well it sounds as though you may have a duff vaporiser or battery. You should be able to take a primer puff then small drag and without inhaling to produce as much vapor as a regular .... My mini always produces tons of vapor, even when I inhale there is loads left to come out. Can you send it back ? Or else buy a couple spare.

Be aware you will need to adjust to taking a drag from a mini as apposed to a normal ... but you should get very good vapor from your model.

So for I have 3 friends who have flooded there atomizers on the first day. Remove the battery and mouth piece. While covering the little hole on the atomizer, put your lips around the battery end and blow through it like a straw. Aim the atomizer at a paper towel cause is gonna pour out. Do this till no more fluid pours out. Fresh cart and battery, you should be all good.

I've been having great success over the past hour or so by covering the hole for the first second of my drag then releasing. I get a real bang on lung hit with that method. The 18mg coffe that arrived today from pillbox is sweet, very subtle flavour and not overpowering. I've got some 36mg Marlboro coming tomorrow :)

disclaimer: covering the hole in your atomiser probably reduces its life span.

I have contacted pillbox to see if he will send a replacement atomiser, something's definitely wrong, I've just soaked it in water, blown out all the excess from the battery end, refilled the cart with 36mg totally wicked marlboro, put a couple of drops in the atomiser and all I get is a fine mist when I exhale!!

If you just cleaned it, it can take 30-40 puffs for the atomizer to produce good vapor.

Remember, slow, deep, inhales. Quick, large inhales, never seem to work!

There is a learning curve, just remember that ;)
