atomizer life fact or fiction?

My opinon is, when you blow from the cart end, your forcing the jucies to flow through the mesh and out the bottom. It's my opinon to not blow the juice thru the mesh but try to blow from the batt end and force the juice up into the burn pan and out of the mesh so air can flow through. I'm glad it works for you...

hmmmmm......will try it both ways, can't hurt anything I reckon, lol

for all the ppl with hard draw and the atty heats a bit but no vapor.. try this i did it to my old attys that i thought where dead.. there was no vapor from them at all.. i pulled them out of a box that had sat around for about a month but before that they where soaked in everclear for 12 hours..

so soak them in everclear.. let them dry.. dry burn them

one of them after a few long burns started to glow bright red again.. and vapes like new..
the other would not get red at all.. so i just kept dry burning it.. if it did not work i was going to toss it anyways.. well after awhile of this i would get a faint red glow.. heated that atty up till my battery started getting hot and finally i saw a very little bit of vapor show.. so i did it again still only a faint glow. until i dripped some pg on it.. there was a instant bright red glow and poof of vapor.. it is working like new again..

as far as the hard draw on attys.. the knock off ones i had this problem i put a needle up the hole on the bottom i put the thing in a bit over halfway into the atty.. draw is great now and hits better than before works like a real 510 atty now

Ok, that's a great tip! I've done this with rubbing alcohol, and had the same results, and use it because it evaporates quickly, but I can see how everclear would also work, but we don't keep liquer in the house, soooo,.



At the risk of sounding dense, lol, when you say you put a needle up the hole on the bottom of the atty, I'm having trouble understanding how to do this. .Could you maybe give more detail, do you have a picture, by chance? How does the needle stay in there, did you bend it or something,.

blowing from the batt end is very popular here...

that's what I always thought, but never know, the other way might just work better..... I'm gonna have to atleast try it.

no it does not stay in.. i just pushed the needle up the hole on the bottom of the atty about 1/2 inch and there is a slight resistance then it will go in a little more.. think it was just clogged up a bit there.. I would only do this on a atty that is at the point of you saying well i was about to toss it anyways though

i did it to a new knock off 510 atty the ones with the silver washer looking piece inside and now it works like the joye attys no more hard draw on it..

ok I get it now, thankyou, You just used the needle to clear the "clog", that's interesting, I've got an atty that was my favorite, I've had it for 6 months, and it still works if I baby it for awhile first, but it has such great flavor. .I might have to try the needle idea, maybe she's clogged, lol.


I read a post on ECF about a staple mod to help with connections, which I found here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-center-conductor-gap-penstyle-atomizers.html



thought maybe that's what you did some how with a needle, ha..
