I purchased a 901 kit and 2 extra attys from rockymountainvapor.com. Everything is great, except 3 of my attys are not producing much vapor! They energize just fine, and I can see the heater coil glowing, but it shouldn't be glowing. When they work properly, the coil draws up liquid and produces a fizing sound, and lots of vapor comes off. It shouldn't glow because it transfers the heat to vaporize the liquid.
I have cleaned them several times with alcohol, sometimes vodka, and sometimes everclear. Maybe this has ruined the wick. Another possibility is that these atomizers are poorly constructed, and don't have the coil wrapped around wicking material. When I see the coil glow, I can see that it is not in contact with any wicking fiber.
Anyone else have this problem? This is very annoying as these are nearly brand new, and otherwise are in great condition with a miniscule amount of vaping time on each one.
I did admitidely clean one with a harsh solvent which probably did that one in. See:
Warning: Don't damage the atty wick!
EDIT: I must add that I have not been doing dry burns or energizing them without a draw, or making them overheat. I only observed them glowing after they stopped producing vapor.
