510 LR atty...no vapor?

[Bahnzo]

Just got my Riva today, and I'm *very* pleased with it. This is my first PV and I'm pretty amazed overall.

BUT....

For some reason I get next to no vapor with the LR atty I bought. The regular atty's produce well, just not the LR. What I did (with both attys) was blow them out, prime them with 2 drops of juice, and then popped on the cart that I filled. From what I've read that seems correct, and it works great with the normal atty.

I've tried another cart with another flavor...same results. Works fine with regular, nothing with LR. The LR is working, there is a small amount of vapor, but it's VERY harsh and almost no vapor.

Help? Did I get bad LR with my order?

got a multi-meter? check the atty resistance.

Try 4-6 direct drips into the atty. See if that works. I direct drip with my LR atties. I usually do 6 drips and have a pool of liquid almost to the top of the bridge. If you have the cone on all the way and tight, you don't need to worry about leakage until you remove cone or atomizer. Also, flooding shouldn't be an issue with this much liquid either...the LR eats juice up.

I'm almost positive 2 drops is not enough for an LR. Just do the 6 drips with no cartridge and see if it works. If not, then something is wrong.

I do have one...is there a post/link about how to do this?

Sounds like your battery isn't able to cope with the LR atty, the "high-drain" batteries do a better job.

Both my Riva batteries worked fine w/ both my Lr atties. Were did you buy items from?

I purchased my riva kit from altsmoke and my lrs from vapor flow.

I'll give this a try as well. I'm still searching for a link on how to use the multimeter to check the atty. But for the time being I'm pretty happy with the regular one....it might be more a matter of getting my money back if the LR atty they sent me is DOA.

Alright, I'm a ..... today....guess I somehow missed that Sticky right at top of this forum.

So.. I checked the LR atty. It reads 1.8, my regular ones measure 3.2. Seems that should be ok, right?

Seriously?! That's incredible.

Yea, lol. At first I was doing my normal 2-4 drops, but got tired of only getting 3-5 good draws. So I just drown the atty now. I haven't killed an LR atty yet, but it's only been a week. I did gunk up one atty and have to clean it.
