Atomizer

[Ichyboy]

How would you know that you atomizer is completely dead? is there a way to revive it?

It stops getting hot and making noise and producing vapor. When that happens its usually because the coil broke and after that happens its over. You can always try tossing it in a pan with some other things your cleaning and boil it for 15-20 minutes. If that doesn't help chances are its gone for good.

It works especially well with cartos, don't ever throw them away, just throw them all in a ziplock bag even if you think they are dead. After you have 15 or so throw them in some boiling water for 20 minutes (after removing the white mouth piece) repeat once if necessary. You will be amazed at how many fresh new cartos you have and how many of the dead ones came back to life. Best of luck.

yup I tried it, but still no good. I can hear the sizzle now but no vapor is coming out... I just need to find a local shop here in singapore and buy a new atomizer.

If you can hear sizzle then its still working, did you flood it or is it dry, when looking directly at the coil or bridge do you see it get red hot when you activate the battery?

 

[Ichyboy]

not really I just put 2 drops and still the same. And no the atomizer is not even getting hot. I even tried holding the button for a longer time but still the same.

 

[Saiti]

It could be flooded, does it do a lot of gurgling when you pull on it?

 

[Ichyboy]

nope... just sizzling sound but nothing being atomized i think... before when I press the button I can see small smoke inside but now nothing is happening.

get a multimeter. test the resistance. if it went way off the number that it should be at, then its screwed. I always test my atty when I get new ones so I know it good if not I just send them back for replacement. Same as batteries. Check to see if they are charging to the correct voltage so you know when to throw them out.

He has one atty, if he had a "bag of contains everything in the world" to get a multimeter out of he could just grab another atty

Noted. I think the batteries are still working. Only the atty needs to be replaced. The main problem is where to buy it here in singapore. HAHAHA

Blow it out, and then let it sizzle for about 5 seconds at a time. Keep giving it 5 seconds of power over & over until the coil becomes clean (glows). It will either clean up and be fine or it will pop. Either way you have nothing to loose at this point.

I gonna try this and see what happens...

 

[Saiti]

Let us know, I'm hoping you can resuscitate this thing until you get new parts or a new kit.

Hahaha, I think its gone... Better replace this one... Im running out air blowing this atty. I can still survive until I got new parts, the craving for analog is not there anymore...

 

[Saiti]

Well your in Singapore right, there have to be little shops that carry them, at least disposable ones. They only last about 10 hours and they are about $10 here in the US but they could get you over until you order somethin new.

 

[Ichyboy]

not sure about shops here, Its not that fully legal using e-cigs here i think.

 

[Saiti]

I would figure they would sell it in those little shops that carry everything. Like the little drug store huts lol. I guess it never hurts to look, hope you get a replacement soon and get a backup this time too!

Hmm.. I've managed to get some atties running for well over 3 mths (gd brands) and some died an early death (china-made unbranded).

I've used this method to clean my ikv lr and it has lasted me 3 mths!

I'll blow out excess juice every wkend through e thread connector end and stick a kleenex gently in e atty.

Every fortnight, it'll go through e isopropyl alcohol cleansing ritual. Just dump it in a bowl of rubbing alcohol. Shake it gently and let it soak for an hour. After that, pour in clean rubbing alcohol thru e atty once more and wipe it dry. Then, i'll just blow out frm e thread connector end until no more liquid comes out. Prime it with a few drops of ejuice and let it sit overnight. E next morning, i'll just get it pumping by letting it burn and not vape 1st. Thereafter, prime again with some ejuice and e atty's running fine again! U might wanna try this as a quick-fix before getting yr atty.
