I just got mine yesterday and it worked fine up until today. It is fully charged and is probably not defective from the looks of it. The battery could hold on as long as it wants but when i plug that atomizer in it have a whole new story. The light fades as soon as i press it and then blinks 10 or more times. Like i said the battery alone does no such thing when it is on, all i do is press and hold as long as i like

What manual says? Blinking may indicate something. If not, return it, buy from somebody else. Anyway, vaporfi gear is overpriced.
Agreed. Sounds like an atomizer short to me. If it's doing this on day two, I'd get a refund. VaporFi has pretty decent juice flavors (not stellar, though), but their hardware is generally rebadged Kanger gear that's been marked up about 300-400%. No exaggeration. You can get an identical Kanger kit for a fraction of the cost.

Incidentally, which kit is it? Might help in debugging the issue.

Yep. That's just a standard 1000mah kanger ego battery and a evod glass clearo. About a $15 starter kit elsewhere online and in most vape shops. It's really not a bad starter kit, and your problem is likely with those evod coils. VaporFi still uses the old, problem-ridden coils, not the upgraded ones. Try putting another coil in it. Might just be a bum coil.

Personally, I'd still get a refund... shouldn't have issues that quickly. Too expensive to boot. You likely paid about $60 for that $15 kit.

But stupidly enough, i paid 25 or 30 bucks for shipping... I would be losing some money and i checked kanger and to tell you the truth i saw a 650 mah for 45

Yeah... don't buy direct from Kanger either... they really mark stuff up online, too. They make most of their money selling wholesale, so they really put a markup on their direct to consumer sales online. Best to look at vendors' online stores. Where do you live? If in the US, Canada, or Europe, there are TONS of reputable and affordable vendors online... and you can really save on shipping by ordering from in country.

Couple of good and affordable US vendors here:

Sweet-Vapes | Electronic Cigarettes & Hand Mixed E-Liquids

Electronic Cigarette | E Cigarette | myvaporstore

Vape Super Saver

For Kanger products, Vape Super Saver is tough to beat. They also offer free 1st class USPS shipping on orders over $15.

If not in the States, ask around here on ECF... lots of members here from all over the world.

Pretty decent starter kit here:
Curve Mini 20W Kit with 1 bottle of US made Patriot Range e-liquid
Use discount code "forum1" or "forum3" to get 20% off... $34.98 with shipping.

Get coils here:
Eleaf GS Air Coils Organic Cotton
No discount codes that I know of. $9.50 for a pack of five, plus $3 shipping. I'd personally get two packs (10 total) since shipping is the same.

That's $47.48 total for everything ($56.98 if you get two packs of coils), including 10ml of juice to start you off (their RY4 is pretty decent). Take that stock coil that comes with the kit out and keep it in the box as an emergency spare only to be used if you run out of coils and are waiting for a new shipment... the organic cotton coils produce FAR better flavor and vapor and wick juice tons better.

If you dig the VaporFi juices, cool. Their stuff is pretty decent, actually... and not outrageously priced like their hardware is. Their Cuban Cigar and Morocco Gold are nice tobacco juices to try, if tobacco is your thing... see if you have a local VaporFi around you and see if you can get your issues fixed there, in store and sample some juices while you're there.
