Stainless Steel Atomizer going cold after short use?

**Oklahoma** · 02-15-2009, 09:15 PM

I was wondering if any other users have had this problem? I use the stainless steel 901 atomizer with my USB pass through and after a weeks use 2 have gone cold/dead. Anyone know why? I have an email to steve at Puresmoke to help me understand this situation.

Oklahoma--are you sure they are both dead? Have you tried blowing them out as they may be flooded. Also sometimes there is a contact issue with the USB passthoughs--have you tried them with your batteries? What have you tried as 2 atomizers in that short of time is not normal ---let us know--Sun

Yes it does seem strange for them to go cold so quick. i did blow them out and tried them with a regular 901 battery and still cold. I have used white atomizer with USB pass through since and they work fine. I have never had this issue with the white or black 901 atomizers.

I have not been dripping with these so it seems it would be difficult to flood them, but what do I know.

Let me clarify that was 1 week use for each atomizer before each when cold.

Oklahoma--I have had luck with taking a tweezer and grabing the the peg that sticks up with the hole in it on the end that threads into the battery of the atomizer and pulling it up. Sometimes there is a contact issue as the atomizer connection countersinks and does not allow contact even with it screwed down tight. So pulling that middle peg up allows for the connection--let me know if that works--Sun

I'm using a stainless steel atomizer although with my pen USB with no problems for 2 weeks- actually doesn't overheat as quickly as previous black ones..but I could be imagining that now since your post!
But for sure, you should speak with puresmoker as you are in the range of 14 day guarantee so should be no problem to replace..

Well, I tried pulling the center connector out a little on the atomizer but it did not seem to move any. I have blown them out and had them sitting upside down since they went cold. I do have an email sent to Steve and am awaiting his response.

I will try the 3rd of the 4 I ordered to see if the same issue happens. I do not want to experiment to much with them as it might cause the warranty to become invalid.

Thanks for all the tips. I will wait to hear from Steve.

i had a stainless steel pen style atomizer go dead after one week too though, i dont think its anything to be worried about though from what i understand some atomizers are just quirky like that. the first one that came with my kit lasted 3 weeks till i took a puff one day and set it down for 30 seconds picked it back up again and it was dead as a doorknob. my 2nd atomizer is the one that went dead in 7 days on the dot ...im on my third atomizer now and we will see how it goes.
Also i know his products have a 14 day warranty but i dunno if thats just for kits or includes atomizers as well, let me know how it turns out for you oklahoma

Combo--the 14 days is good for parts as well just to give everyone the heards up for Puresmoker--Steve is real good about that---Sun
