Hot atomizer but no vapor?

Well, since it was past the point of "useless" I decided to try boiling the atomizer. At first it acted exactly the same, still cutting off after 1.5 seconds. I dripped a few extra drops of liquid on to the atomizer and let it soak in for a while. This seems to have corrected the problem and I can now draw on it for 5-7 seconds like it originally worked.

Vapor production is back to a better level, but still not as good as my 901 (maybe 75%) but the cartrige needs to be pretty much full for it to work. Once the cartrige drops to the level where it takes 1-2 drops to top it off, the vapor goes down to a few whisps and the battery starts cutting off after 1.5 seconds again. Once it does this you have to top off the cartridge and add a drop or two to the atomizer, after about 3 or 4 puffs it is back to 5-7 seconds again. I tried 4 different cartriges including a pre-filled Marlboro that came with it.

Figuring this out took me about 45 minutes, during which time I went through both batteries, so after it re-charges I will try it again.

LOL, it is the batteries that are bad. I finally tried it at night where I coudl see the light (it's too dim to see in the day).

Fiddling with the atomizer has nothing to do with it, it was just a coincidence. Both batteries have random cutoff times of any where between .5 and 8 seconds. Most of the time they get stuck at around 1.5 seconds, which is not enought time to generate any vapor.
