odd bevavior (on my elite)
« on: April 16, 2009, 06:26:10 PM »
Hey guys,

My elite cig has been weird lately. Every time I inhale, the LED light lights up, and then it flashes on and off quickly for another 20 or so seconds, like it does when you charge it. And I can't get any vapor when when I try to inhale when it is flashing like that. And yes, it's fully charged.

Anyone know what this might be?

No, I'm still getting smoke. But I'll do that and see if it makes any difference.

edit: just changed the cartridge. Still doing the same thing. Perhaps I should contact inlife?

That happened to me today at the mall! It just means to change cartridge I guess because a few minutes after that I couldn't inhale anymore :(

Swap out the atomizer. If you haven't tried that yet.

Hey guys, I finally got my InLife kits, Elite and Royale and I think they aren't working right either. My Elite would flash even after taking a couple of drags and was charged over night. The first few hits are fine, but then it won't give out hardly any smoke. I changed the atomizers and it still did the same thing on both Elite and Royale. Then on one of my cartridges on my Royale, when I inhaled I got pure liquid nicotine straight in my mouth. I had to run and wash my mouth and hands off. My cartriges are still wet and I know that taking about ten drags on my electronic ciggs are not equaling a whole pack of cigarettes? I don't hit them hard either. All I taste is nicotine on both units and hardly any smoke whatsover. At 1 time, maybe 3 drags, it was a smoothe and heavy amount of smoke. But everytime I hit it, I get a strong taste of nicotine even on the low cartridge. I did everything right, except when I got my Elite 2 days before my Royale. I started to use it before charging it, but not with the Royale. So I called customer service and she told me to blow through the atomizer and then try, still did no good and she is sending me another battery for my Elite. Hopefully that is what is wrong. I want that smoothe heavy flow of smoke I got maybe 3 different times from it and I mostly get a bad taste or no smoke. I also noticed when I unwrapped the plastic off of my e-ciggs and cartridges, they were wet feeling, like they were sweating inside the wrapper and box. I don't know what to do.  :(

Sorry to hear this. I e-mailed customer service a week ago today and have not heard a word from them. I'm going to call them today. I think the batteries are the problem and could perhaps use some more R&D...or just a stronger battery.

Mine unit was moist when I first received it as well. I think it is just sweat inside the wrapper.

Let me know how it goes when you get your new battery.

Chris it is better to call, I sent out an e-mail the week I ordered the kits and still have not gotten a reply. That was 2 weeks ago. Better to call them when it is around 2 or 3 pm California time. I also read that alot of E-Cigarettes are being held up longer at customs these days. I am not sure if this is why it is taking so long for orders. Not for sure though.

Well, don't ask me how, but my e-cigarettes are working perfectly now. I don't know if I had to charge them for a longer period of time becouse they might have just been sitting in there boxes for so long. Anyways, I am here to say all is just fine now. You might want to charge them for a couple of days before using them.  :)

Well that's good. Mine was working fine for a week and then just stopped. I did get a hold of them by phone and they told me to e-mail them my shipping info for a new battery. I hope the e-mail gets to somebody!

In the meantime, I'll just charge my old battery for the next 48 hours and see if that makes any difference, lol.
