Yes, we have the same model.

I removed the battery and compared the draw to the second atomizer that came with the kit.

Hard draw atomizer --- holes just under the threads appear to be completely blocked by something white.

Less hard draw atomizer --- holes are half blocked.

Perhaps I can use a needle to nudge the blockage away from the hole. What do you think?

Thanks!!!

I have two atomizers and one has no blockage, can't see white. The other has little edge of white on one side of one of the holes. It appears as though it is to separate the +/- center pin and outer ring of the atomizer. If you attempt to nudge it use a sewing needle and gently pry it up towards the battery connector. Be very careful as I'm sure there is a lead wire in there and if it's short it will snap.

Also, if it feels rubbery instead of stiff, try heating the needle and melting your way through instead. Only because rubbery would mean it was compressed at the factory and prying may not yield any results. If it's stiff, typically it would be some form of porcelain and you will have to shift it.

It's stiff and not budging. I could try a drill but that would most likely destroy the atomizer. I think it needs to go back to Kurt.

Thanks a lot for your help!

It should not be a problem, I've never had any issues with them... and that's saying a lot with these things. Until they get more mainstream there will be issues in production and distribution.

I ordered recently from a Chinese vendor which I will leave nameless, and ordered two of everything and 4 batteries just to make sure I didn't wait two weeks for nothing... all crap. I had to drill, rewire... nothing but crap. These little guys still vape flawlessly.

It's been said in this forum many times, you either get one that lasts for ever or it does not work at all... unfortunately you seem to be the later.
