My elephant too. I contacted the company. They said if you have the reciept, to email them and they will send you an email response with shipping address, etc. and they will send a replacement part. You likely need an entirely new base/body of the elephant. You will need to clip the wire and send it in with the reciept (less than 1yr so it is under warranty). Or, if you don't want to do all that, they told me I could return it to the store to return or exchange it. I think a trip tp the store sounds best.

i carry mine with me for the quick little touch ups -- living in louisiana the humidity is horrible -- i have not had any issues -- i just pulled mine out and tried it -- screw cylinder in -- push the "on" button, listen for the hiss, then slide the ignitor (took 2 times), touch to feel the cylinder getting hot!!! ta da!!! works like a charm!!! hope this helps!

I actually received a little water with mine! Imagine my surprise when I was looking at the specs on the motor housing and noticed water on my countertops. Appeared to be clear but smelled stagnate (the blue covers had fallen off the threaded cinnectors and allowed the water to run out). Shipping was several days later than promised, but I have not connected pump yet so I dont know what else comes with it (hmph).... sounds like some better QC is in order here. I did get the threaded to barbed connections.

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

I believe you've got a defective one as I did. Mine did not produce any steam. If I were you, I would return it right away. Give it a 1 worst rating as I did.

I'm sorry to hear you had a problem. Mine arrived in perfect condition, and I've been using it daily with no problems. I'm sure Amazon will help with the return and sending another one to you. I LOVE mine!

I had these same issues. However, after inspecting this lighter just after refilling it, I found the little round twist at the bottom of the tank. This regulates the pressure of the gas coming out. As you use the lighter, you need to adjust this knob for the correct pressure so that when tank is full, it doesn't have so much pressure that it won't light. Once I learned this, the lighter works perfectly. I've had no issues since using the regulator twist.

Sounds like yours might have been defective. Mine was intact. I'd call them up and get a new one sent and return that one.

Hmm, well I can honestly say that I do not recall a sweet odor when I turned mine on. Perhaps it's just the oils and lubricants giving off that initial vapor right out of the box? If the smell remains I would call the manufacturer. The customer service is supposed to be pretty good.

Hi Michael: That is not normal. I'd see about getting a replacement. Mine ignites very quickly and well.

You didn't buy it from me, but perhaps on my recommendation. My igniter has been fine, but if you look at others reviews suggest many have igniter issues like yours. Just like them, you can use a lighter, following the manufacturer's instructions.

No. Mine has worked great so far. Did yours always do it or did it just start. I would contact the vendor and attemp to get a new one. Mine is PERFECT

First, I would make sure all the settings are correct. If they are, and if you have humidity, then I would say you got a dud. We're in the northeast, where it's been disgustingly humid for it seems like forever, and ours is working fine. We empty it 3 or 4 times a day and run it on high, usually. If you got a defective unit, I don't know what the return policy is, but would think the company -- or Amazon -- will honor the warranty without any problem.

When I first got mine, I set it up in the kitchen under some lights, filled the water tank, and then turned it on to confirm it worked. I ran it for a few minutes and then unplugged it and carried it to my room. I noticed that it wasn't blowing out much mist. Like you are noticing now. I proceeded to empty out the basin and try again, and it worked like a champ. See, in carrying it down the hall with the water tank full, when it gets jostled around with the valve open, more water gets into the basin than should be and the ultrasonic platter can't work through the higher levels of water. Just empty out the basin, put the water tank back on and turn it on. Also, the more you turn the knob, the more mist comes out. Turn it until it stops turning, that's full power.

Thanks. How do u like it so far. It seems rather expensive if u have to replace a wick every couple of weeks. Would you recommend this humidifie? And thank you for the information.

David, my suggestion is return it and ask for a refund. Mine worked for half a glass of juice and then there was more juice on my walls and ceilings than my glass. So please return it, ask for your money back and buy another brand.

That is not normal. It sounds like the kit you have is stale. I would send it back or ask for a replacement.
