I am having the same problem- the only thing is- the atty is BRAND NEW. I jsut got it and i put it on the battery and couldn't even suck thru it. I took the atty off and draw on just the atty, and it pulls fine. But when the battery is on the main hole on the top of the atty seals, and it won't pull.

The small holes on the side of the atomizer have to be what is clogged. Is there a way to take the atomizer apart and see what is the problem? BTW the atty is from a 510.

Seems like soaking them for a few hours is infinitely easier than going through an exchange.

Janty products tend to be a bit more expensive, but that's due to the warranty . . . six month warranty on an atomizer is almost unheard of anymore.

For the price of a stamp, you can send back your old, poorly functioning atomizer and receive a new one in the mail within about a week and a half. If you have other atomizers to use in the meanwhile, it seems like sending it back is the way to go rather than fiddling with Coke baths, alcohol soaks and the like, especially when the results tend to be a bit inconsistent.

But to each their own. :)

I think that you are just going through the awkward "adjustment phase" with your new atty. Not pulling anything AT ALL?

Boil some water, throw them in, swirl around for a few min, rinse, let dry for a few hours, a few drops of juice and mine (801) are fine. Or not, then I just repeat and all is well again...

At least you have spares (unlike somebody else had 8-o ;))

So everytime you clean an atomizer you have to put some drops back on it before you use it again? I thought cleaning it was to remove the liquid so why drip some directly on the element? Do you put the cart also?
I just got an 801 and the 2 atomizers don't produce vapor (very little), are hard to pull on and have a taste.
Do you have any tips besides that one?

people clean atomizers to remove the build up on the heating coil. The more crud that get's built up on the heating coil , the less vapor you will get. Dripping liquid into a freshly cleaned atomizer is to keep it from dying when you take your first drag. it HAS to have juice to work , if you activate a dry atomizer it will pop and die.
