No. You gotta suck. If there's a button you can use that.
there is no button :-(
any tips on how to get it started?
maybe there is some kind of device that can suck for me, or would be able provide more pressure?
or maybe ways to heat the oil?
Maybe I could like microwave dry rice or something and then stick the pen in the rice to pre-heat the pen?
If it takes more than 10 seconds to heat up it's broken.
it's not about timing, when I try to suck it's clogged and it can't initiate heating at all - it's not like it's slow to heat, it just doesn't know to heat. So I have to suck really, really hard (to the point that it hurts), and suck for minutes before it finally clears enough that it can initiate heating (and then it works fine).
Then it's broken
hm, weird - I think it's just clogged, not broken - I'm able to suck hard enough to get it to eventually clear and heat up, and then it works fine
I wouldn't call that broken as much as clogged - so I'm wondering how to clear the clog in more efficient / better ways, but it sounds like you're out of ideas?
I dunno
