Please Help! iMECIG G3 First Time use!

[Avatre]

Hi, I'm really hoping someone can help me here. I've just purchased and received the iMeCig G3 from Amazon, and put it all together as instructed. The battery is working fine, and when pressed briefly I can see it working and the atomizer thingy smoking a little. I filled the tank thing - but not overly full - and left it for 10 minutes to soak.
Now, when I try and take a drag... nothing! No smoke, no nothing, it's driving me a little up the wall and I'm in desperate need of a nicotine fix! As I know the battery is working, I cant for the life of me figure out why I'm not getting anything.

Did you put it together and press the fire button before you filled the tank with any juice? Is that the smoke you're referring to? If so, replace that coil as you fried it by applying power to a dry coil. Factory coils don't like being dry fired. See if that helps.

I think youtube has a video tutorial on that device. Might take a quick look at it for help.

I've looked on youtube and cant find anything that helps. The coil thingy is still working, I can see it's got eliquid on it so its not dry. It's almost like its blocked or turned off or something when its put together but I cant see anything.

Empty the juice, take it apart, put it baack together again...see if that helps. Make sure the coil didn't somehow come loose a little and isn't making a good connection.

Might be as Eskie says, a burned out coil, or it could be you aren't getting a connection to the coil.

 

[Avatre]

I've tried that, about a dozen times now, I just don't get it!

When its assembled Avatre, press and hold fire button a couple seconds. You should hear a soft sizzle. Gently blow and you should see vapor exit the air holes. If none of that is occurring the unit may not be be switched on which is a quick triple click of the power button on some of the starter kit batteries.

The battery and the coil are fine, I can see both working, its when I attach them to the tank and mouth piece bit that it just.. stops

 

[mongo74]

Then replace the coil like Eskie said. You probably burned it out.

Edit: that's just strange.

some have air vents.. make sure they're not closed off as well.

I'be tried uploading an image and a video but it wont let me. Basically, the battery has a light to show when its on, how much charge etc. I press that and it lights up, with the coil thingy on the battery, it sizzles and smokes a little like it should I think? I'll try the spare coil thingy but I don't think this one is burned out?

 

[Cheallaigh]

it will be if you tried firing it before it had juice on it.

 

[Avatre]

I don't hear any sizzling or anything when I put the part that holds about 3ml liquid and the mouth piece bit on

 

[Cheallaigh]

I know there are vape stores there... why not go see one? we're limited by not being able to see.

 

[Avatre]

You were right! I burned the stupid coil thingy out, works fine with the spare! Thank you, I was sure it wasn't that so I probably wouldn't have tried it heh.

Just make sure from now on don't fire coil when the tank is not on it and has juice in it
