I have the elephant model and, after two weeks of use, it stopped coming out strong. I'm very disappointed; we got this because our 3 month-old was sick (and still is9 and the doctor recommended a cool mist humidifier.

I have an elephant model and it is about two weeks old. It suddenly is not putting out vapor. It sounds the same but no vapor. What do I do now?

I have the same prolem too. I think its the design of the penguin mouth. It is not tilted upwards enough.

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.

If neither of the other answers here works, you might have bent the top tubes. That happened to me and one actually BROKE. Don't try to get the manufacturer to make good on his warranty. He'll tell you that you used it wrong and it is not defective (see my other review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2217KI7AHEUHY/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2217KI7AHEUHY)

you might have to play with the regulators...i noticed when i have the burners off and turn the tank on that you will hear a click and i think the pressure needs to equalize before trying to start it. it happens when i change tanks and i usually wait and then it gets hot, if i start it right away i have trouble getting a high temp. also watch the wind, i have my door face the wind and play with the dampners on the sides. i have been using mine in 10 degree weather and it is heating just fine. as far as damage i didnt experience that.

no. you should see vapor coming up from the hole in the middle of the silver top. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I thought the email from amazon was just another advertisement

the one we got, has some problems too. all these tanks seem to have different issues. You might want to send it back if you can for a refund.

Based on my experience with the product, I suspect that the review you reference was done by someone who either had a defective unit (I don't know how good their quality control is, or who didn't ensure that the seal was tight before starting smoking. Mine arrives with a fairly loose fit between the lid and the pan, but I followed the instructions in the instruction manual and I haven't had any problems with too much smoke escaping. Some escapes, certainly, but not enough to result in anything more than a slight smell of smoke (which I don't mind). Keeping a window open nearby (if your local weather allows it) should eliminate that problem entirely.

I love mine as well and have had mine for quite some time (over a year) and haven't had any problems. The only time it seems that the air pressure is less is when I've inadvertently failed to tighten the valve cap enough. Other than that being your possible problem I'm not sure what to offer as a solution. I use it along with adding a couple tablespoons of Alkalol and the results are just fantastic at stoping a cold in its tracks! Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

I too, saw the "E2" warning. I unplugged it and cleaned it, to try again. Well, that's when it happened!! Unplug it, carefully place it back in the box, and send it back! Mine got so hot, it almost melted the counter top. (it did melt part of the smoker!) Send it back! Take no chances.

Hi Caymansarah: I bought the Vapor and really like it. I have similar measurements to you so you should be ok with this product. I have found it comfortable and fully adjustable. Nathan has some great products and i've been pleased with everything I have purchased from this company. Go for it. Hope this helps.

I also thought that mine was broken ad well after a short amount of time. mine doesn't seem to work if I fill it past the 300 ml line. I would suggest trying filling half. Thats how I get mine to produce the mist.

No. It isn't a vaporizer or humidifyer. It doesn't heat up or steam. Air comes out. You cant see it but you should be able to feel a light cool breeze coming out of the vents.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I sent an email to fuego concerning a faulty igniter and they sent me a replacement by return mail. There was no correspondence just the replacement igniter. I have to give them credit for standing behind their product.

I have noticed black debri and I think it's from the hard water we have in our area. My vaporizers don't last that long here that's why I'd rather spend a few dollars then get an expensive one all the time. With our dry weather I need one most of the year.

The vapor pads sits right down through the top of base, sits over the two little white plastic posts the sit right on the base, then put the plastic part were you put your mouth. It just sits there. I hope this helps, keep me informed if it doesn't help you.

This is not a vaporizer,this is an air purifier. If there is steam coming out of it,then there is something wrong with it! However the air that comes out of it is cool.

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.

My humidifier has none of those problems, so you must have a defective unit. The only drawback I've experienced is when I fill the tank and put it back in the unit, and the bottom of the tank snags on the filter. I have to help the tank get into place past the filter, but everything works fine after that.
