I must be doing some kind of stupid noob trick here - but I have went through about 5 atomizers this week. Granted, some were older - but a great one I had just on a trade died for no apparent reason other than me doing something that is probably obvious to the vets here.
I was happily vaping away on an ego battery - was fixin to try some sweet stuff, so took off the atomizer, blew it out, and put a napkin in it gently to absorb leftover juice. Put it back on the battery, added 3 drops, clicked - and nothing.
Ohmed it out, and its at half a meg roughly - what did I do wrong? I know the atomizer was good - it was just working, and had been working all night. Right until I did whatever it was that i did.
Also - if anyone can suggest a US based place to get the 3ohm joye atomizers I would appreciate that - I need to buy some and get them quick - I have some cartomizers left, and only one atty - wasnt expecting my own ability to break stuff.
Thanks!

Edit: if it is helpful, was at 4.5v a few hours earlier. Could that be a delayed effect?

I just pm'd you about this, but check the center pin on the atty, it might have gotten pushed up and now not making contact. Use your fingernail to move it back down a bit, see if it works again.
OH, and try Litecigusa.net for Joye attys and low shipping...they ship fast.

Just a little confused. 1/2 a meg would be 500 ohms?? mega=1000, if you could give me the precise reading it may help. And you say it was 4.5v before? What was 4.5v the ego? Or are you saying the atty was 4.5 ohms? Trying to wrap my head around your post to try and get you some answers.
5,000 ohms = 1/2 meg. 1,000,000 ohm = 1 megohm . 1000 ohms = 1kilohms. sounds like the atty was on its way out and when you blew it out and used the paper towel on it, it was toast, :-( so sorry. At this range with a 3 ohm atty a precise reading doesn't really matter.
Rob, I think he had the voltage at 4.5v on another device. Which should have been absolutely fine for that atty. And then put it on the eGo.

Yes - half a meg would be 500,000 ohms, or 500K - so its not quite an open, but from the view of these devices it is an open.
I did have it as high as 4.5v on another device, but it was on an ego when it was working and then I did whatever to it to break it.
Well the only logical thing is that the napkin did something. It was working, napkin, then it wasnt. Just dont understand how a napkin would break it - but that is the only variable that cant be reasonably eliminated.
Thanks

Ah yes kilo=1000 mega 1,000,000
You are right Phenix, that voltage on a 3ohm shouldn't matter but was a little confused being he said he was using an ego. Though maybe his pv was driving too much voltage.
More then likely, it was on its way out and your blowing into it dislodged something. The nico can be very temperamental sometimes, especially in used attys.
Only thing left I could recommend is try a hot water rinse followed by an alcohol bath.

The atty wasn't even broken in yet really...I think I tested all of 4 flavors on it and never once vaped on it longer than to test those four flavors. On the rare occassions that I do drip, I use a LR 306...and I can't remember the last time I even did that.
My 19 yr old son is also into vaping. He is home this summer. Can he use his username on the forum and participate in PIF and other stuff (contests, whatever), or will it show as the same ip addy and spank us?
You're fine to share a computer, we look at quite a few things when checking same IP reports, we know if you're legit and just sharing a computer with a family member
Boy do I feel silly
Don't feel silly (and no need to say "sorry"), I've asked sillier things than that...but I have the blonde hair to blame it on.
