Attys dead? Where'd the flavor go?

[the_antisheep]

I have 2 attys here I have been using for the past 2 weeks, and a few different flavors I am pumping into my eGo... I get a little vapor, but no flavor... I keep topping it off thinking that's going to make a difference, but no go... Thoughts? I am using the same cart on both, is it possible a cart can be an issue?

Are your attys flooded??

I'm not getting any juice coming out the top, so I don't think so... Is there a way to fix that issue to eliminate the possibility?

take the atty off. Put the open end to your mouth and blow as hard as you can. Be sure to use a paper towel to catch the exta juice or it will be all over the place.

Unscrew atty and remove cart - from the batt end - blow into a paper towel at the cart end until you're no longer getting any wetness. put one drop on the bridge and restart. Low or no vapor is almost always - flooded atty (unless the atty is gone). And if you're using the same cart there could be flavor issues. Best to separate the flavors in different carts, imo. Some flavors overwhelm others - menthol, lemon, cigar.....

I tried all of that, and it just kind of blows hot air... yuck.... I tried switching batteries as well... I get this sinking feeling that both my attys died at the same time. Also, it doesn't seem the atty is burning as hot as it used to...

Hmmm... In my panic, I retried the blowing out method over and over again, and at least I have vapor coming out now, but I still can't taste it... I wonder if the second issue has something to do with vaping the cynacide for the past few weeks...

have you tried a dry burn? put the atty on (without the cart) push the button. Do you hear a sizzle or see the atty turn orange?

 

[stover.p]

Yes vapeing AC will do that to your taste buds! As long as there is vapor and you get TH then it's working. It's your taste buds that aren't. I'm hunting for the thread now on a saline rinse thing you can do in your nasal passages to help. I post the link when I find it

I hear a loud sound, like air rushing out with a little bit of what could be a sizzle, but I see no orange (or any light) when I look in, and I'm in a pretty dark place.

Hmmm... this is very possible, in fact, highly likely. My tongue does feel a little numb, and I might be a tad dehydrated.

ok, so i have seen umpteen videos about the blowing out atty's. Some say DO NOT blow from battery side, the other half, DO NOT blow towards the cart side. So which is it?

I'm no pro, but I'd guess you'd want to blow towards the battery side, because it focuses all the air out the tiny hole and creates a vacuum-like lock inside that pushes the fluid out... If you blow from the battery side, the air just disperses, and likely just barely pushes the fluid.
