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.

Send it back it is defective. Mine was fine. Yours is not the way it should be.

Sounds like yours might have been defective. Mine was intact. I'd call them up and get a new one sent and return that one.

Sounds like a defect, I would contact somebody and get a new one. Hopefully they'll take care of you because this is a great light. I ordered mine months ago and carry it with me everywhere and it works like a champ! I haven't had to change the batteries yet either!

My experience is your battery is dead. Due to not keeping perfect fluid levels they defect. It happened twice. Then I threw the whole thing out and went to a perpetual battery system that is well worth the extra money in that there is no worry about maintaining the battery.

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Mine would not even blow up. It was defective. According to other reviews, I'm not the only one with the same problem.

David, my suggestion is return it and ask for a refund. Mine worked for half a glass of juice and then there was more juice on my walls and ceilings than my glass. So please return it, ask for your money back and buy another brand.

I think you have a faulty humidifier. Mind did the same thing. So I emptied it and started all over. I did not leak again but the vapor did not come out of the top funnel, it came out of the seam in the bottom of the humidifier. I returned the item.

I had the same problem. I contacted the seller and they sent a new one and I had the same problem with it. Just a bad lighter. I would contact the seller.

I just bought this too. Got it at Canadian Tire. Vapors came out at first then after about 20 minutes no vapors then we found it leaking. Dried it out and we will be returning it over the weekend. This items sucks. Thinking that all bottle humidifiers will do the same thing so I will be purchasing another beaker one from pureguardian. They are are my Walmart for $29.99. I already have one and it works really well so I will picking up a second one for my daughter's room.

i carry mine with me for the quick little touch ups -- living in louisiana the humidity is horrible -- i have not had any issues -- i just pulled mine out and tried it -- screw cylinder in -- push the "on" button, listen for the hiss, then slide the ignitor (took 2 times), touch to feel the cylinder getting hot!!! ta da!!! works like a charm!!! hope this helps!

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.

If your elements are still lit up and it stays hot, there must be a problem with it. Mine does neither of those things. I'd return it, I think :).

yeah something's wrong then, mine sounds like a jet engine winding up when turned on. And the airflow increases quite a bit from the low to high setting, as well as the feel of suction in the back from the air getting pulled in. Make sure all the filters are pressed all the way in and the back panel is snapped on because it has a safety feature that wont let it turn on when that cover isnt on. If all that is the case and its still not working id return it, the next one will be fine im sure.

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)

I experience the same thing. The vendor recently contacted me after my rating on this site. They informed me that it would be replaced with a new one. Could be there might be some defective piece. Not sure, waiting for the replacement. Will repost new experience
