You say you get the taste of liquid ... is the atomizer heating up at all?

Take 4-5 quick puffs and tell me if the atomizer heats up at all. If it doesn't, its dead. If it does heat up, there's still a good chance to revive it.

That happened to me when I flooded the atomizer from dripping...Did you top off the cart before you used it? Drip? I would have to clean the connections on the battery and the atomizer, then blow some of the liquid out of the atomizer from the end that the battery connects. Worth a shot.

Try these steps:

1. Make sure that the LED light at the end of the battery is lighting up when you take a puff

2. If yes, then go to step 3. If no, then it is most likely a dead battery. Charge battery and try again. If still no light, probably a broken battery.

3. The atomizer may be flooded. Try unscrewing the battery, and blowing through the end of the atomizer that faces the battery and out towards the end that faces the cartridge ( hope that makes sense). Try to get all of the liquid out, without getting any spit inside.

4. Clean the brass connectors on both the battery and atomizer. Screw the atomizer back into the battery, and insert a new or freshly refilled cartridge into the atomizer. If there is still no vapor, then it is most likely a dead atomizer.

Try the other/another battery too.
Clean the connections and try again also, it may not be the atomizer.
