AVA LR on Reo Mod issues

[tilly21]

Hello I am new to the AVA atomizer. I have recently had problems with this atomizers and wanted to post to see if anyone is having the same problems as I am. I have had this atomizer for about 27 days, it is a bottom feed and is being used with my Reo mod, is is powered by a 3.7 V IMR battery.

It has worked flawlessly for the initial 27 days, but recently it is actually burning with the most awful taste. I cant seem to find anyone speaking about this issue anywhere. It also becomes incredibly hot, lot of hissing...

I am making sure it is "wet" and the only temporary fix is to flood the atomizer (i mean really REALLY flood) in a big pool of liquid and it makes a huge mess, not only that but leaves a lot of liquid in my mouth (yuk).

I must be doing somthing wrong... but it worked just fine for 27 days??? perfect flavor/vapor, I miss it

Any tips, or remedies will be much appreciated.

Boil it in some boiling water it will clean it right out for ya,,,,, I've used about 7-8 of these and they just fail in my opinion on vapor and flavor, just my opinion,, for as expensive as they are there just not worth the metal,wire, and ceramic there built with, you be best off buying a ERA rba for your Grand, buy once and done for life, and the flavor and vapor will triple that AVA, JMHO,,, You can also do an alcohol soak 1st for an hour to try to loosen up the gunk that's caught in your coil and the under side of your ceramic, then boil it to dissolve and break it all lose, should come back out of the hot stuff clean as a whistle..Dont worry about the boiling water hurting it there is nothing to hurt its all wire and ceramic inside of the steel tube so nothing to hurt.

Thank you mwa102464, but I want to add that I regularly rise with alcohol, I didn't think it would be really be coated or filled with old burt "gunk". Maybe it is and I cant see it...

I have not soaked or boiled the atomizer... yet.
