That was Dr. Vape's video which really should be on the ElevapeSmart website as a tutorial. I recall him having 5 as well but I am not sure why. I have bought them since and it is definitely a 4 pack.

Update on my experience so far:
After 4 weeks, I received my supposedly repaired Elevape yesterday. Plugged it into my laptop, the software reported 58% charge. The indicator bar moved from 58% to 59% after half an hour. Decided to charge it from a wall outlet using the stock Elevape cable and adapter.
Well. After 24 straight hours of charging and no green light, I plugged it back into my laptop to check the battery charge level. The level was at 61% after 24 hours. Only 2% charged in 24 hours!
So I waited almost a whole month for them to fix the vape and it comes back defective. WTF? Did no one do a simple diagnostic or any QC on it before sending it back to me? As it stands now, I have no option but to get back in touch with the Elevape people and wait for who knows how long to get this fixed. Again.
And where's Ipuffusa? I thought the manufacturer was going to be active here, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. He hasn't been back to the forum since posting on May 7th.
I'm so frustrated I can't think straight or even begin to explain how I feel right now. Aarrrrghhh!![]()
If there's anyone with an ESV in the Montreal area that would like to demonstrate to me that this device does work, please shoot me a PM if you'd like to get together.
I still maintain that this vape is a damned good prototype!
Hmmn, know the feeling. Over a year since marduk's post and I'm experiencing similar issues, both with the vape and the service from iPuffUSA.
After discussing with Joe, performing firmware and software updates, and sending the unit back to be repaired, I still have a useless ESV.
Thanks for the words of encouragement OF. Unfortunately, I'm thoroughly discouraged with my ESV experience and am throwing in the towel.It makes sense to me that if it 'passed' and was shipped to you TWICE it's not something being checked for? Sending it in without specific contact and discussion is likely to make that 3 times?
You're welcome, and it's certainly your call, but as you might have just seen in Marduks update, you're basically alone in this problem????Thanks for the words of encouragement OF. Unfortunately, I'm thoroughly discouraged with my ESV experience and am throwing in the towel.
I've discussed in great detail with Joe, both email and phone calls. Plenty of opportunity to 'make things right'.
I've spent more time tinkering, troubleshooting, cleaning, reading this thread, in essence giving it more attention than my other vapes combined, and in return only twice got noticeable effects.
Same excuses, bad coils, firmware needs updating, battery cells defective, air leaks... rince and repeat!

Correct. I can charge n/p if I don't use the included cable and charger, which I've commented on earlier.From what you explain in the above quotes it sounds like you possibly have had multiple issues that are not related to the charging system. Is your elevape charging correctly or not?
Nope. Tube was undamaged and seated properly.did the tube show any signs of being squished?
Yup. Several times! Always activated.Have you tried to activate the device by blowing (semi-softly)into the usb port.
Is the screen behind the mouthpiece clean?
Did you try using it with out that screen in place?
Yup. Everything gets cleaned and ISO'd before testing. Tried with/without mouthpiece screen. Tried with/without stir lid.Is your lid screen clean and the air channels free from debris? Um... I will keep pondering
Yup.Can you activate it with the chamber lid off and your thumb covering the bowl?
I have tried this but can't say that I notice a difference.Does your resistance decrease if you turn the lid?
Tried it out and it worked great for 2 sessions. Not sure about number of hits it was quite efficient, effective, and tasty. Anyway plugged back in and down to 30%. Is that normal? 340, 370, and 405.
I also need to get a hold of a manual. Was thinking of calling joe. I have original reciept.
Happens when pc shows battery hovering at 99%. Anyone have any experience?
Thanks for the manual OF!
The one thing i can't figure out is why the battery charging indicator won't turn green. Unless I unplug and re plug the unit in. Happens when pc shows battery hovering at 99%. Anyone have any experience?
Thanks for the manual OF!
You're welcome. Easy Google search for "Elevape Smart manual" IIRC.

Well I did make that attempt but for some reason I didn't find it. Maybe didn't click the right links or had experimented with the esv too much. I did search tho lol.
No worries, like I said, easy search. The second return, the first .pdf (which is what I was looking for...):
https://www.google.com/#q=Elevape+Smart+manual
Looking for info about compatable external batteries for the esv. I really want to use this for my outdoor activities such as fishing bUT 1 or 2 fillings before recharge might not get through the day.
