The only time I didn't used mine for a while the unit acted similary to your, the lesson is to use it on a regular basis, the more you use it the better it works....at least for me!

Same thing happened to mine after an extended period of no use. Almost aent it in but then it fixed itself. Since then just charge it every ten days or so no matter if it's been used or not.

How'd you fix it? I emailed Joe already anyway
I'm having similar issues, I'd appreciate if you kept us posted on your resolution. Thanks.

It did the blinking red light thing which Joe said was a reset. Tried the charge it but didn't work for a few days after that, then right before I was going to send it in I tried one more time to charge it and it worked. That was 6 months ago, been working every since

Huh that's strange lol doesn't sound like my problem? Blinking light had indicated coil issue in the past for me, like no connection

Did you replace the battery yourself ? If so, I'm willing to void warranty to DIY
I agree with some that have had issues with coil responsiveness. I've tweeked replacements and they work, but deplete quickly - 1.0 needs to recharge after each session after 1-1/2 yrs regular use. Too lazy to send it in, but figured it must be a battery issue. I've since moved on with other vapes, but still hold ESV as one of the best stealth and satisfying convection units.
Btw, where's the long looked forward to Indica ESV colab? and ...
Has anyone else noticed that the advertised 'titanium' coils look distinctively different than the iPuff replacements? Seems the replacements are thinner gauge.

I have exactly same issue and even after 8-9 recharges it still refuse to ignite.. I changed to new coil but that didn't solve the issue.. I spent many hrs to solve out what is the problem, but I couldn't.. I have tried contacting Joe via pm and email but I had no response for weeks..
Could you let me know how many times did you have to recharge to make it work again?

That's a shame Joe doesn't reply to you guys, it was really helpfull when the ESV came out. Did you tried to contact Ballint (Sandor replacement guy)? he is the Elevape guy in Europe , here his email:

I can verify Joe will respond. He had questions for my RMA and emailed me back asking me to call him and he picked up the phone right away. Talked to me about the problems I was having and I'm hoping it was just my coil and maybe my grind. I replaced original coil and it was doing the same exact thing with the coil I put in. Joe said my coil was not right so I'm hoping when I get it back it'll be working. I still have high hopes for it because it's for sure the best for stealth use. It's built like a tank, I think it could end up being my most reliable unit. No question they have fantastic customer service, even when I'm cranky with them.

My ESV is still running strong, I hope it will continue cause I just bought a 4 pack of replacement coils just in case.... it's still the favourite of my on-demands vape stash for flowers, so tasty!
Still not understood why some very famous menbers here stated the ESV was not tasting good. If only it was possible I will go to @Vitolo 's house to make a session with my esv, I bet he will change his mind!

We would be pleased to see you, and I would be grateful to have my mind changed.
My dexterity has become poor, and my worst issue was not being able to maintain the unit, whose pieces were small for me to manipulate.
I have found patients that like the unit and have names on a waiting list to receive one.
Personally I would be happy to have my opinion altered!

I've thought of selling mine, but I have no idea how much I could get for it. I wanted it to work out for me so badly. I try it, get frustrated, put it away, pull it back out again, but since I haven't been combusting for a while now, I can't stand it when I get burned herb. I guess I just don't have enough breath control or something to make it work for me like it does for those that love it so much.

I never really gave it a chance.
I looked at the package and contents, and included tools, and I was dismayed from that point forward.
We have no smart phone (we use a 23 year old phone on the land line, and our cell phones are flip phones), and our computers are older, and do not support most "apps".
I gave the Elevape a basic try, and was discouraged.... and passed it on.
It did happen in the midst of Patty and My traumatic experience, so my mind was weak and distracted, but I was given one further opportunity to check one out, but I passed up the chance.
When a new vape arrives, and has too many small parts, I get discouraged from that moment if there are parts that are too small for me to handle easily. Most patients I know feel the same.
I was intimidated by the images of dismantling the unit.
Small screws, small allen wrenches, and screens ......
.... and especially units that require changing parts and that type of maintenance are a turn off.
I never got to the point of combusting with the Elevape.
I gave it 5-10 minutes and was done trying, lest I arrive at a point where I would have to do some maintenance after having seen the complex images in the instructions.
I wear glasses for astigmatism, double vision, and magnification........and sometimes I wear two pairs.
It never gave me the air of being simple, although many say it is very simple.
The instructions, and pieces, and "apps" ran me off!
When I tried to give the unit to 4 different local patients, the result was the same.... it scared them off. It wound up here in the hands of an FC member.
Admittedly, my mind is stronger now, and would easily handle 30 minutes minimum to understanding the vape, and would just ignore the little pieces and parts and "apps". If I get the chance again, I will give it a more fair chance.
I am blessed with lower vision, shorter patience, and worsening manual dexterity.
No disrespect is meant by my comments.

Don't hold your breath. It's not one, but six in there. Yes, six. And not the normal kind, the sort used in R/C helicopters and stuff. Necessary to get that fast heat up in such a small package. Someone could buy the six pieces (one above the board, five more under it 'in the hump'.....but I bet it won't be at all cheap and then you can deal with packaging, cables and so on.
Sorry for the bad news, but I think it's a mistake to hope for that.

I am a leaf on the wind ~ watch how I soar...
I haven't posted on this thread yet...
I was giving Joe some time to make things right but he never did.
I bought an ESV about a year ago and it never worked right. It would flash the red LED and wouldn't work.
I sent I back 3 times to Joe for repairs and it never worked. The last thing he said was that he would send me a version 2 when it came out.
I kept hitting him up and he kept telling me that it wasn't out yet.
Long story short, he stopped answering my emails, texts, and phone calls and I'm out $350. I never got back my original ESV and never received the promised ESV V2 and never received a reply from Joe.
I've never had this happen with any supplier ever.
I am a strong believer in Karma. And Karma can be real Bitch. So I've let this slide. Somehow I deserve to be out $350 and Joe will receive his share.
This vape never worked for me,and when I saw that the vapor path went right through the battery and electronics/motherboard, I didn't want anything to do with it anyway.
Many people have had so much heart ache with this vape I cannot understand how some people like it.
I didn't want to post any negative comments but this is just plain crazy.
Good luck to anyone doing business with Joe.

I'm with @M0J0 on this one. I have a $350 paper weight.
GH Labs gets bad press but they seem to try... understanding that their efforts are sometimes fruitless.
When the manufacturer suggests that you wait for version 2 rather than getting warranty service, something isn't right. I couldn't be more disgusted or more regretful of a purchase. At least with the Pinnacle Pro, the manufacturer never pretended to give a shit. I'd sell the the thing but can't, in good conscience, since it seems Joe has no interest in making things right.
It's curious to me that Joe and Indica Vaporizer went totally dark after starting to work together. Whatever their goal was, it appears to be out of reach.
