Default DSE 901 problem...

first couple days i used my brand new atomizer it was working extremely well with lots of vapor. now, less than a week later performance has dropped off a lot. now when i take a drag barely any vapor is coming out and it feels like it's harder to drag now like it's clogged. bad atomizer or is there a solution for this?

I'd check by clearing out the atomizer and maybe retopping of the cart. I had that problem with mine, and figured out that the carts sent to me by the factory did not live up to the expectation that they promised it would. I'm sending the cards back soon, and have my juice on the way.

Loss of vapor can indicate a low battery, drawing off a nearly dry cartridge or a defective atomizer. I am sure there may be a few other reasons I missed. That said, contact the sell of your 901 and ask for an atomizer exchange. Yhe longer you are in this e-cig thing and the more devices you collect, you will learn what is normal and what is not.

Just check that you haven't flooded your atomiser Ceejay. Blow through the battery end onto a tissue and then vape with a blank mouthpiece to see if that helps. Just be careful not to vape it too dry.

I must be lucky i have a de 901 and a mini cig from pure smoker. I have had them for 3 weeks and no problem i had to clean my atomizer a couple of times. I just drip now. Pure smoker has been out of carts for awhile now. I liek the 901 better than the mini cig.

Try dissassembling the atomizer from the battery. Now blow 4 times into the LED end the pressure switch might need to be reset. I'm not sure how hard you need to blow, I think some one said at least 4 strong puffs like the pressure needed to start blowing up a balloon.
