So I've been using my volcano for a few solid days and all was going well. I was getting good vapor and the only complaint was the stock carts/juice. So, the same day I got the volcano, I ordered some juice from juicyvapor (reduced PG blend). When I got my new juice yesterday I was so excited to try it out. I rinsed off my atty and blew it out. Put two drops on there and took a drag. I got some nice flavor and good throat hit but almost no vapor. I hit it a few more times with the same result.

I went ahead and pulled out my second atty, which was already being used with the stock carts with great results. I rinsed it off and blew it out, this time some fiber stuff came out of the atty and I'm pretty sure this ruined it, it no longer works at all and makes a funny taste. I won't be using my canned air to blow out the attys anymore :confused:

So back to the one working atty. I thought maybe I soaked up some water when I rinsed it off so I let it just sit overnight to see if something would be different in the morning. Nope, same thing, little vapor. Even if I put a stock car on it, the vapor just isn't the same as before.

What happend to my atty? I thought this juice was supposed to make awesome vapor and it seems to have messed up my atty. I really wanted to vape up a bunch of juice today but it's just not working :(

The juice didn't mess up your atty. The water from rinsing it out did. The wick is probably still wet with water and water doesn't vape. You got to make sure it's totally dry first then put the juice in. Keep using it and eventually it should go back to normal. This is why I never clean any atty aside from blowing it out once in a while.

I had a few strands of the fiber come out of my volcano's atty and it still works, however it does heat up faster and its very easy to overvape now. I think that fiber is supposed to help insulate as well.
Also, I have cleaned my atty by letting it sit in a hot glass of water for 10 minutes multiple times, and usually i just tape out the excess liquid onto a towel and then blow out the rest and it works right away. One time I did experience the same problem as you, but after frantically trying different batteries and carts it worked within 5 minutes... I'm surprised that yours doesn't work after letting it sit overnight.
Sorry I know that wasn't very helpful, but it's all I've got. I wish I could tell you what to do but I'm not sure what I even did.
