If you are new to the Longmada Motar 3 Wax Vape Kit, you may sometimes wonder:
“Why is my Motar 3 coil not glowing red when I press the button?”
The good news is: this doesn’t always mean something is wrong. The Motar 3 coil uses an advanced ceramic + quartz heating system, and sometimes the heat is there even if you don’t see the red glow.
The best way to figure out what’s happening is to look at the battery indicator lights. These signals will tell you exactly why the coil is not heating or glowing and how you can fix it.
🔋 Battery Indicator Lights Explained
When the Motar 3 coil doesn’t glow and the indicator light flashes then goes out, here’s what it means:
1. 🔴 Red Light Flashes 5 Times → Low Battery
-
Cause: Battery doesn’t have enough power.
-
Solution: Recharge your Motar 3 battery. Low battery prevents the coil from reaching proper temperature.
2. ⚪ White Light Flashes 3 Times → Connection Issue
-
Cause: The coil is not connected correctly to the base or battery.
-
Solution:
a) Reinstall the coil — always attach the coil to the base first, then connect to the battery.
b) Replace the coil if it is old or damaged. - Youtube video-White Light Flashes 3 Times

💡 What If the Coil Light Is On but Still Doesn’t Glow Red?
Sometimes the Motar 3 coil is working perfectly, but you don’t see the coil glowing red. This is actually normal:
-
Ceramic Plate Placement – The ceramic heating plate sits tightly against the quartz cup, so the red glow may be hidden.
-
Bright Environment – In a well-lit room, the faint red glow may not be visible.
The coil is still reaching the correct temperature even if you don’t see it glow.
🌡️ How to Test If the Coil Is Heating Properly
Not sure if your coil is hot enough? Try these two simple methods:
-
Use a Temperature Tester – Place a digital temperature probe or infrared gun at the center of the quartz bowl.
-
Water Drop Test – Add a small drop of water into the heating bowl. If the water boils or evaporates quickly, the coil is heating normally.

✅ Pro Tips to Extend Coil Life
-
Always use 20–25W power. High wattage can burn out coils.
-
Use manual mode: press only when inhaling, release when not. This reduces stress on the coil.
-
Never touch the heating chamber with sharp or hard tools.
-
Wait for the coil to cool completely before cleaning.
-
Avoid dropping the atomizer — the quartz/glass can break.
-
Keep extra replacement coils handy for uninterrupted vaping.
