why no vapor after cleaning and filter change

I don't know why that happens, but mine did that too. After a while, it started working again.

Same here. Mine started doing the same thing. It would start working again and then stop again. I finally got rid of it after 3 years of operation.

There's a small fan in the body of the unit that pumps air through a vent next to the vaporizer and pushes the vapor out the top. If that fan goes out (happened to my first VS207), you'll stop getting vapor.

I noticed that happening to mine and upon closer inspection I saw vapor coming out of the bottom of the "face" plate. I wiggled the face around until I seemed to get a good fit and it hasn't happened since then. That was about a week ago.

Hold the 'filter reset' button (the small button with the looping arrow) down for like 15 or 30 seconds. If it still doesn't reset - sometimes I think the filter really is clever or insane and you might want to double-check that everything is making contact and there's no soot shorting anything out, but I think I only ever had one be 'stubborn' once.

Jeff, Does your filtration system have a light (red/yellow/green) that indicates when the filter needs to be changed? Let me know if you do, as I may have your solution! kkt

Same here. I bought this yesterday, filled with tap water as high as the MAX water line, put some salt before going to bed. It never actually vaporized, even though I added salt again. This morning I added even more salt, and I got neither steam nor sputtering.I think it's been about 4 big fat pinches of (Redmond Real Salt) salt so far... I'm afraid of adding more in case it damages the vaporizer.Ugh, I'm so tired, I keep waking up at night with a stuffed dry bloody nose.

Sorry ! Mine works just fine! As a matter of fact , I am thinking of buying another one Do you clean the filter? That might be your problem?

Yes I had a similar issue when I changed the filter. Call the sevice and they will help you.

In my experience, the cartridge will also become clogged, which might inhibit water flow from the cleaning cavity to the tank. I also try to stretch the time between cartridge changes, but I do change them.

Try pushing the prime button while the filter is running. It will help purge the excess air from the system. If it doesn't help, the company that makes the filter is really good about helping you fix any issues with the unit even if it means sending you a replacement. I had a problem with my filter leaking and they sent me another one right away. Since then I have had no issues with the filter.

There is no noticeable reduction in airflow until the filters need to be changed

I didn't use anything in mine, but I don't use anything when changing the filters either. I just let the tank fill up over the course of a few hours and then I allowed the whole thing to empty down the drain. I think I did this twice just to kind of rinse out the tank.

That means either you need to change the filters or possibly the battery needs to be changed to a new one. Check on the battery first, as the life of the battery is much shorter than the filters.

Happened to me. I removed and reinserted the filter a dozen times. No luck. Ended up returning it. I recommend the Pur brand.

I recommend you clean out the entire filter system, wash out the dirt , etc and place everything back in, and fill it with water before turning it on. Also check you hoses and make sure the top is lined up with the filter trays inside.

I've only had mine for 2months..I'm not sure,but other reviewers have said they have vacuumed or lightly brushed the filter to clean.

This is not usual from my experience. You might have a defective unit. Or (I'm speculating) do you have a fireplace? Maybe carbon from the air is landing on the unit surfaces. At any rate this has never happened with any of the units I have owned. Before panicking perhaps give the filter a wash using the recommendations in the handbook and restart them. Good luck.
