Argus G4: Fire button not responding or feels stuck
Written by Vape & E-Liquid Team Last updated
You press the fire button and nothing happens, or the button feels stiff and unresponsive. The device may otherwise appear powered on but simply will not fire.
Why this happens
- Device is locked, the most common reason a fire button stops responding on a pod kit
- Button not being pressed firmly enough to register
- A temporary firmware or power glitch causing the button to stop responding
How to fix it
- Check whether the device is locked. Most pod kits use a button sequence to lock and unlock the fire button, preventing accidental firing. Unlock the device first before assuming the button is faulty.
- Press the fire button more firmly. A light tap may not register, so apply deliberate, direct pressure to the centre of the button.
- Restart the device. Power it off completely, wait a few seconds, then power it back on and try the fire button again.
- If the button still does not respond after unlocking, pressing firmly and restarting, the button may be mechanically stuck or there may be an internal fault.
Replacement pods and coils
Worn pods and coils cause most of these faults. We stock the parts that fit the Argus G4.
Other Argus G4 problems
- Battery drains quickly or keeps turning off The battery level drops faster than expected during normal use, or the device cuts out before the battery indicator reaches empty.
- Device won't fire or produce vapour You press the fire button or draw on the pod and nothing happens, no vapour, no airflow, no response from the device.
