Put 2 drops of liquid on the atomizer. That will help. You can also hold your finger over the hole in the atomizer for just a second as you draw in and then take your finger off and continue to draw as you usually would. See if that makes a difference.

where should i put the drops? the hole where it connects to the battery or where it leads to the cartridge?

The opening where it connects to the cartridge. Don't do it too much, however, or you could flood the atomizer. If that would happen, take the atomizer off, put the cartridge side down on a paper towel and blow into it to get the excess juice out. You just don't want the juice to get to the battery.

A fresh battery makes a big difference in the vapor amount.

Ask for a new working atomizer. 901s are known for producing good vapor. You shouldn't have to mess around with dripping glycerin or anything else directly on the atomizer. I know it's not right, but about 1/3 to 1/2 of the e-cig stuff I get doesn't work right. Just expect this to happen.

i've tried putting drops directly on the atomizer and i'm still not getting that much vapor. would a bad atomizer be the problem or are both my batteries bad?

Ceejay, try charging your batteries for atleast 8 more hours (till tomorrow). If your 901 is still not working up to par, contact your supplier.

thanks, and how long does the battery usually last after a 8 hour charge?
