Atty help

[alamor]

I am having an issue with some attys I cleaned. I soaked them in Hot water for awhile like people have recommended. Then I blew them out with compressed air. And now I can see them heat up but they are not getting as hot as they use to. Can anyone tell me why that would be? I can hear them sizzling but I am not getting any vapor when I take a drag. Any and all help would be appreciated.

They probably still have some water in them.
Try putting them in the oven for 20 minutes at 150 degrees.

They probably still have some water in them.

That would be my guess as well. I just keep "dry burning", although its not really dry at all, for a few 3-5 second sessions untill I start getting more vapor. Then top off with a little juice.

The problem could be that the resistance is too high. That will cause a loss of vaper. You could try re-cleaning and drying. It is not good to use compressed air since the coil is very fragile. If the attie is not completely dry yet then it wont perform well. Set it up for a day and try it again.

I've been cleaning them with MouthWash and rinsing with warm water, blow them out as best as I can with my newly aquired extra wind and then drip and start vaping right away (no drying). It's weak at first, but after a couple of rips it's back to normal.
