Atomizer Resurrection, Pt 1

[lynchite]

Are you sticking the eye end of the needle into the atomizer to widen the holes by twisting the needle?

Also, I get past a couple of the meshes and then the other one seems to be over to one side so I am unable to make a pass through to the other side of the coil without fear of hitting it. Should I be trying to push this last mesh back over to the middle so the holes line up?

It worked for 2 out of 3 BE112 (PENSTYLES) ....they where almost dead...they are back to 90% capacity if not more..
...........THANK YOU JAXX.....
BTW....the penstyle has 2 (air) holes right between the coil terminals ...in a straight line

Just done it with a ruyan bling poking a safety pin straight into the mesh bridge from the top and the beast sprung back to life.

could also have killed it completely but the sun is shining on me

Try to line up the meshes, this is exactly what this method means, I also did it with an almost new atomizer to make the hole bigger and it is amazing, just do it very carefuly.

You stick the needle in from the battery end and not the cartridge end, correct?

My atomizers are probably not clogged because I've done this haven't noticed any improvements.

Awsome tips.

Let me point a couple things out.


If you have a cellphone with a camera light on it, or a very small bright light that can be covered completely by a atomizers cartridge side....

Put it over the light and you SHOULD be able to see light through the battery hole on the atomizer.

I recommend using a paperclip to realign/clean. As the paperclip is just barely bigger than the hole under the atomizer coil. There is alot less likely chance of damaging the coil this way... just don't push to hard and break the whole assembly free

...happened to a penstyle and a 901....
the inner parts were pushed out,and with not too much force....

[hitman]

Not all atomizers are created equal, we all know that.


The older they get, the more brittle the glue gets.
I've revitalized about 5 atomizers using this technique today..

My belief, as stated by someone else earlier is that the cause for this working is probably more due to build up than misalignment.

Me too -- though they were already cold atomisers, so I didn't kill any working atomisers.

I too wouldn't mind seeing a video of the technique though....

Hitman--You are correct that misalignment and residual clearing are both at play here with the "Jaax Method" as the needle also clears backsided flooding. I have not scene any glue in any of the atomizers that I have taken apart--only a ceramic holder, plastic tubing, wires and contact points, a small coil, and a wicking material that is made of metal mesh--No Glue that I know about. Maybe some that hold the metal threads in the tube? But they seem to just tighten right back in place---Sun
