    I'm with you, Wiz. After 5 months of dripping (no cartridge at all), I've yet to lose an atomizer. Just keep them clean. I stand them battery side up every night, use a hot water bath every few days, then about once a week burn the carbon off the coil.

Most show the drip by holding the atomizer vertically, which would surely get the juice into the battery.
    on the rare occasion that i drip.... this is what i do.

    When I went to work today, my original DSE103 atomizer (Ol' Sparky) was as cold as ice when I tried using it at my desk. Tried different batteries, the USB passthrough, nothing worked. I was ready to admit defeat and thought it was dead until I remembered this tip. Jammed a paper clip in the hole (not to hard) was all it needed. Sparked up like a champ.

    BigJim.....You got Lucky..LOL.."The Paper-clip" trick has never worked for me..although I have not had too many cold atty's to try it out on. I sure hope you make the switch to dripping(if you havn't tried it already).I can't wait to see your face in a video when you "Fire one up" that way!!Should be priceless!The Wiz!
