Atty probs?

[sillybear]

Hey TW I hope you all had a wonder Christmas holiday! But I do have some questions.
Before Christmas I bought 3 TORNADO-T Cone Shaped tank Atomizers-All Colours So I think my warranty is over but I didn't need to use them right away, so I'm only asking for some insight, some help.
I have tried all 3 atty's in the last 3 days and they are all horrible tasting. I start by blowing out the primer and dropping a few drops of my flavor down into the barrel and then I add my feeder. Normally I would say it is the fluid/flavor but I have been using the same flavor for about 2 weeks now and i'm only now having problems after my last good atty clogged up and I needed to change it out.
Am I doing something wrong? I blow all the primer out that will come out, till the paper towel and q-tip come back clean, I drip a few drops of juice into the barrel and I use the atty for a full day before I decide it's just not working. I have even thought maybe it could be the battery, but I've switched between my Screwdriver MKII and the Tornado and it's still the same nasty taste.
Please help, I can't afford to buy any new atty's for another month.

I tried the guide you linked to and two of the three atomizers I bought are still not working. Is there anything else I can do? I can't send these ones back for replacements because I don't have a car to get stamps or an envelope to send them off. So i'm not looking for anything for free but just wondering how I can fix these so that I can use them.

I will say that I have been vaping for over a month now, and normally the atomizers last me 3 weeks of constant vaping before I soak them for a cleaning, but I haven't done this with the new ones because they were new. Should I clean them anyway? I clean by soaking them over night in a denture water bath.....I will say that I put drops of flavor right into the atomizer and it worked for a few puffs until it tasted like it dried out and stopped working. I am using the same 1.1 fluid feeder I have used for the last month....maybe I should change that....but I don't see how that would keep the atomizer wet....
Ok i'm rambling.....just trying to figure this out since I can't get new ones for awhile

In case you've not already sorted it, sillybear, I used to use the sort of atty you have and had the odd one that had a very wimpy wick so I used to swap the spike plate/wick assembly with one from my collection of old bust ones that were good in their day. It might work for you but you'll need some needle-nose pliers to get them out and use an empty cartridge to push the replacement in. Good luck!

Hi Silly bear

I notice from your post above that you purchased these just before Christmas.
If your attys are within the 28 day warranty, we will be more than happy to replace any faulty ones for you if you give us a quick call.

Thanks
Louise

Miss Wicked I am sorry to say I just seen this message All three that I had ordered then didn't work But I still wouldn't have been able to send them back for replacements since I don't have a car to go get stamps and an envelope to return. I did order 3 more and got them in last week and they are perfect...well one is, other two I haven't had to open yet.
