OK, this isn't my atty, but the husbands... he was happily vaping away last night when suddenly NO air was going thru. Still working on converting him, so just popped off the atty and put on a new one. Weird tho, as when the atty was attached, a draw pulled in no air at all, couldn't blow thru either. Atty removed, can hold it to mouth and blow thru it in either direction, and get air movement. So... what's up with this?

what model is he using? auto batt or manual? If it's an auto one, i think you should check the battery's hole where it allows air going thru, juice and dust may have blocked that hole!

402, auto batt. Actually, somehow what it was, was the inner cart being up too close to the atty and shutting off airflow thru the cart. Not putting the outer cart on all the way, air went thru just fine, so I pushed the inner cart further down towards the mouth/away from the batt and it worked fine again. Then, he pushed the inner cart in with the atty and it happened again! So, now we know, if NO airflow thru cart, push inner cart further down.

May just need a new cart.
