Help?! My atty tests good, is clean,but won't work

[MickiO]

I took a paper towel around the inside where it screws onto the batt, and tried dripping some liquid inside it again,it's making a little more vapor, but still puny compared to the vapor clouds I got from it before. Maybe I gotta keep priming it with more liquid,

2 months is pretty dang good life for an atty... and at the price of attys compared to the cost of cigarettes at a pack a day, you could buy 3 attys a week and still be saving money. Manufacturers want you to keep coming back and buying parts in anything we buy. Cars, computers, electronics whatever. If they built attys to last forever eventually everyone would have one and they would go out of business...

I agree, provided atty's will always be available to buy in the months to come

If this change was relatively sudden, clean the contacts and adjust the center contact as others said above. Although 2 months IS good going, might be a simple power connection proble; sounds like that.

ps: hang on to dead attys and is push comes to shove you can wind new coild for a few cents, if you have the patience to do so (it's fiddly work).

Are there any guides on how to do this?

MickiO, do what KevinD872 said, see if you can't carefully pull down that little center disk a bit...sounds like you just don't have full contact going on, if you have some vapor, and it tests ok that could be what's wrong. If it is, it will keep giving you trouble probably on every different battery. But it's been a good provider, that's a long time for an atomizer.
