501 atomizer question

[ribbery guy]

So the atomizers about 2 or 3 months old and it's still getting hot, but for the last couple days havent been producing nearly as much vapor as it used to. I blew it out and it didn't help. Does this mean my atomizers going? This is still my first atomizer since i started vaping. Should I start using a new one?

Have you looked into cleaning?

Doesnt attempting to clean do more harm than help? I thought i remembered reading that.

There are pages and pages on cleaning, have a look:

I just hooked up a new atomizer and it's vaping like crazy again. I think i'm just going to stick with this new one. It's pulling much easier and producing so much more vapor.

Good for you but you can keep the old ones and when times get tough I'd give cleaning a go. They mostly come back to life.

Another trick that has worked great for me is this:

Made a world of difference in performance and taste.

Thanks for the links on how to clean. I'm definitely going to favorite them. I just got 5 new atomizers in the mail yesterday so i should be good for a while. I'm not going to throw this one out though. Like you said, it might come in handy one day. Thanks.
