Until I read your post I thought maybe it was just 901 attys.

You are right though, it beats analogs. Everyone says attys are disposable anyway, but none have lasted me a week yet, and when I read about people having them last 2 weeks it makes me think ok, what are these people doing that I am not??? I had 2 attys die within 3 days! Hmmmm, maybe if I keep reading things I will find out there are such things as badly manufactured attys lol.

Check your batteries. If the entire battery is getting hot, put it away. I was blowing up attys left, right and sideways until I figured out the battery was taking out the attys. Have 5 batteries in rotation, it took a while to narrow this down.

Also, clean the threads occasionally. Noticed a black build up on the threads and I started cleaning this off.

I too have to put in my two cents (Did I use all those 2's correctly? ha). Jaaxx I tried this with my old favorite most flavorful DSE801 atty that was giving up the ghost and wow, it really did work. I'm not sure exactly why or how long it will last but NICE!
The atty had stopped vaping completely a few days ago, I was ready to toss it but figured I would do an IPA soak first, which I did. After some fumbling and priming etc I got it sort of working but again, now and then it would just stop working. Last night I came across this thread and tried it out this morning with a small to medium paper clip.
I definitely did not "poke" through anything, and also nothing really felt mis aligned, I mean the paper clip seemed to go in relatively easily (at least on the one side, maybe the other side required a little wiggling, could that be it?). But wow, now it works like a champ and is back to it's old flavorful self.

Thanks for the great tip!!

I went to smoke on my e-health brand cig (its a 3 piece model cart-atomizer-battery) and when i took a drag off it i saw a white flash inside the brown cart? It doesn't really do anything now If it hit it a min it seems like a tiny vapor comes out. I'm wondering if this jaxx method will work on mine as well? Or do you think i burt up the atty?

This method really worked, not sure what it does or how it does it but it worked on two that were not producing much vap, I tried it on one that was cold and nothing happened. But at least i have two out of three. I still cant figure out why these things would just die. I took one apart that wasnt working and couldnt find anything wrong with it, everything looked intact.
No broken wires, element was intact, did notice some black stuff around the element not sure if thats suppose to be there or if its build up. That might be the culprit. Any further info on why they die would be appreciated.

Thanks

I had a 901 atty that was dying. I tried the Jaaxx method and it worked like a charm. Much better draw and vapor. Thanks a lot man! You deserve a medal or something!!
