401 atomizer question

[Trox.Shawn]

I have been using my Dragon for the past few days and one thing that I've noticed is that the atomizer seems to work amazing (flavor/vapor wise) for the first 2 days but then its performance drops, not horrible but I can tell a difference. Do I need to clean them more often of is there a way to fix this?

Whenever you notice a drop in performance you should do a few things:

1) Drain the atty. Prop it at an upward angle on a paper towel and allow it to drip drain onto the paper. 5-10 minutes, then move it, allow it to drip again. Repeat until nothing is left on the paper.

2) Clean the contacts of the battery and the atty with a paper towel.

If that still doesn't bring it back, rinse thoroughly with steaming hot water, then soak in alcohol for about 2 hours. Rinse clean again with hot water, then allow to completely dry.

Prime with fluid, then vaping should be normal again.

Soaked my atomizer last night for two hours in rubbing alcohol and then I rinsed it with warm water. I blew out as much of the water out then let it sit over night now it is hitting better than when it was new.

Sweet, glad it worked out for ya.

Can't make a new thread so I will ask here. I think my atomizer on the M402 died. I was using it for a week no problem and then it suddenly stopped working (no vapor) It's weird because I still can feel that it makes heat, the e-cig gets hot but no vapor is coming out. The cartridges are full, any suggestions?

Sounds clogged to me.

It could also be the wick itself. On my Dragon after the first few days it did the same thing and when I went to look at the atomizer the wire mesh had disintegrated. All that was there was the white what I am assuming is ceramic heating element. It still heated up a great deal but it would produce nil for vapor. I imagine that would be painfully obvious to you though. Clogging is the other place I would look.
