OK I was pretty happy with my Vapir ONE when I got it a month ago- it didn't match up to the Volcano, but then it's less than a third of the price, so I was quite happy.

But then, the other day when I was warming it up ready to slot in my ethnobotanical plant disk, the fan just stopped working. No slow-down or anything, it literally just stopped. I was very surprised, because it hadn't had a chance to overheat- it was on for about 2 minutes. I left it alone for a while and tried again, but still nothing. Everything else was working- the digital display came on and the heater worked, but the fan was dead.

I probably shouldn't have, but I was so pissed off I opened the thing up to see if something had burned out or a connection had come loose. I could see nothing wrong, but when I put it back together, it worked. I thought I'd inadvertently solved the problem, but then a couple of days later it happened again, exactly the same. Since then I haven't been able to get it going again at all. I would've registered the warranty, but Vapir seem to have made it impossible to do online, despite what their manual says, and I just never got round to posting the form within the 15 days.

Thing is, I'm going to Amsterdam on Tuesday and I really don't know whether to seize the opportunity to buy a Volcano while out there or even to buy another Vapir ONE. This whole situation has kinda put me off the vapir now, even though I invested in the balloon inflation kit which I've hardly used.
PLEASE HELP!
