    How do i turn it on? :o:o

    I have filled it, hopefully correct. I have charged both of the batteries that came.
    I have screwed the battery on to the top part, and pressed the button..
    Nothing.. I left one battery in overnight.

    Am i completely thick, or am i missing something obvious?

    Looking for a plastic strip or similar to pull out.

    Dying for a smoke.... I didn't buy any more after i finished my last pack.

    press the button on the battery 5 times quickly, it will flash.. that turns it on/off

    No. I've never received anything with any kind of instructions. Major issue in my opinion.

    +1 on the "not any kind of instructions" for the one kit i ordered.

    No manual. I had to look up youtube on how to fill it, and would NEVER have guessed to fill it with the part with the wicks attached.

    No instructions at all, just a basic card that stats how to screw it/not to screw it together..

    I bought a genuine Ego starter pack, which had manuals, advice, a leather holder and an awesome case. It was an old type from around two years ago, feckin useless for flavour.

    I suppose since people buy different bits and pieces, they all come without that stuff now so people can piece together what they want at a cheaper price.

    I bought a value starter pack, i didn't choose different bits and pieces, just bought it, no instructions at all.

    They could print out a basic one-page pdf or .doc and include it.

    walked me thru all i needed to do.
    great for q an a.

    but if you buy online(you know how to use thw interwebz already!)so use youtube.or google!

    Not at all a silly question! I think it is a little confusing with no instructions and you have your brain screaming at you "SMOOOKE, HAVE A NICE CIGARETTE INSTEAD, THIS DOESN'T WORK, JUST SMOKE" or at least that's what happend me! Always best to ask

    I just bought another starter kit for a friend and on the invoice there was a hand written note saying to click the button 5 times to turn on battery :D

    Still off the fags since the 14 of feb, never had that much faith in the T2 or myself but so far so good :D
