I have a brand new one that is the same way. Weird because the other in the kit works perfectly. If it is used and you have had it some time, hang over a sink and blow through it for a long time, like 30 seconds. juice will come out and clear it out a bit.
fill it with water thru cart end, then vlow the water out the same direction, then do opposite end w hot hot water, also let the water run thru both ends...hold w tongs bc the water shoulf be very hot....that should help...juice gets clogged, even from factory w primer juice...if let set n dry too long, it congeals...
Don't know what model you have but if the vent hole is on the atty near the mouthpiece then are you inadvertantly covering up the vent hole when you hold it to vape or when you try to blow through it? Or are you can covering the hole with your lips when trying to blow through it? Nothings going to move if you are.

Attys are punched out on an assembly line and sometimes there is blockage at the hole.
Check and see if the holes are clear.

LOL, I never stated which atomizer it was. its for a 510. I honestly couldn't tell you if it ever worked right. I noticed it was harder to blow through than the other, much harder. So it may have never worked right, but its been the main atomizer i've used for the past monty and I use the thing alot so maybe I just did it in.
Take a pin or needle and stab at the vent holes above the threaded area, let soak in alcohol or dip in (dammit, sorry I cant remember the name of that stuff you put on cuts that foams up to dissinfect), then rinse well in hot water and attempt blowing out again.
Just make sure you prime it well with juice before attempting to use it again or you'll burn it up.

Sometimes 510's will have a bit extra insulator(usually white in color) from the inner positive connection. This can cover the holes slightly, sometimes almost completely. Try taking a needle to the small holes above the threads to ensure they have some flow. You'll hit the inner shaft so don't expect to poke it thru or anything. Point the needle towards the atty and work the insulator back to the thread end. Always blow from the threaded end to clear a flooded atty. Try a vodka soak if hot water won't work. Good luck.
Guess I'm just a slow typist, Peroxide is one I havn't heard of before. Cool.

Also the vent holes on a 510 atty don't really go straight in. They are angled to the left and right. I think it looks to me is the outer part of the hole is drilled straight in to a round inner section but not into the inner section which is curved. This makes it appear the holes are drilled at an angle.
If it used to be easier to blow through then it is probably either clogged from liquid gunk, overheating, or wear.
If it is gunk then you can clean it using any of a dozen methods... my favorite is vodka. Since it isn't working for you there really isn't anything to lose by trying to clean it. If it is overheating or wear it is probably not worth trying to rescue.
Good luck!

First I would order some atomizers, No joke. If you are new to vaping you will be lucky to get a few weeks out of an atomizer. Mostly caused by dry vaping. If you soak your atomizer in anything at you own risk either dry it completely out with a hair dryer or let is sit on its end for 24hrs. The try to bring back to life. Ok when you get your new atomizer completely blow out the packing oil inside before using. I would recommend blowing out unused liquid in the atomizer a couple times a day this will help to keep the bottom of the atomizer from getting gummed up. Taking care of your atomizer will extend its life. Remember its made in china so it not going to last forever so don't get attached to your atomizer. Most of the time its best to trashem after one try to revive.
I am now a fan of the crest pro blue mouth wash. Just soak for 15 minutes agatating every few minutes and rinse in hot water after. If the mouthwash turns green or you see black bits in it your good to go. I have used boiling water and bacardi 151 and no luck but the mouth wash works. hope this helps.
That would be Hydrogen Peroxide smokum. Never tried it Interesting thought though.
I had 2 hv 510 attys that were like this. So, i boiled them for a few minutes...then blew them out really well, stuck a pin in the little vent holes to clean them out..and they are working like new right now.
Might wanna try this.
