901b automizer question

[jasonmoe]

Hey all quick question.

I have been using the 901 now for a week or so. One of my automizers seems like you really have to drag hard to get it to do any vapor. While the other seems really easy to take a drag. What gives? They are both new automizers. Is one bad maybe? Both are set upside down after use to drain for the night. Neither are burnt out and seem to be damaged or not working.

ANy sugestions on what to do?

I had the same issue with my Kissbox atomizer this morning. I usually just leave it upside down to drain myself. What I did with mine was blow through the little hole on the battery side a few times as hard as I could. Damn near passed out from trying. It started working really well after that. Might be worth a try it sounds like it partially clogged like mine was.

Thanks for the thought. I have tried that but still the same. IT does seem like it is a clogging issue

My 901 atomizers clog on occasion. Usually, blowing them out helps. When that doesn't, I have found that using freshly charged batteries helps. Whenever batteries come off the charger, use them with that atomizer first for a five to ten draws, then with the nonclogged atomizers. My theory - a low battery does not vaporize liquid efficiently and leaves residue in the atomizer which then builds up and causes a clog, freshly charged batteries vaporize more efficiently and will burn off the buildup, if you had a manual switch device I would tell you to hold the switch a few seconds to let it heat up really hot.

nothing seems to work to unclog. I have contacted vendor and he is sending me a replacement Phil at e smokeytreats is awesome

Boil them.
I boil mine every three weeks and hang them up to air dry for 3-4 days. Make sure you let it dry!!!!! A water-wet atomizer tastes like drowning. yes. drowning has a taste.

I just tape them cart side down to my bookshelf. Whammo! New atomizer.

*edit* Boil for no more than 1 minute. and use tongs. every try to handle hot metal with your bare hands?

I've never seen the point in letting them dry. I rinse mine with hot water, blow it out until no more water comes out, prime it and start vaping. I just take it easy for the first few puffs to let the water gently cook out of the wick and allow the juice to soak in. I've rinsed my current atomizer about 4 times now and it's still going great.

If you've only got one atomizer, who wants to wait for it to dry?

I really lost count of how many I have so I guess it's different.

I tried vaping right after cooling down and the water never cooks out and it always seems to come out worse. Maybe it's just me.

What about using contact cleaner? It's used to clean circuit boards and other electronic equipment, leaves no residue and is great for removing carbon deposits, oil and just about anything else.

Anybody try this?

there was a discussion on contact cleaner. its poison, do not use it.
