Bad atomizers?

[SynnTx]

Hey guys, the atomizers i got with my kGo are not working anymore. They heat up but they produce no vapor! Is there anything i can do??

One of the atomizers was working, but then i ran some hot water through it to try and clean it out. I dried it off and now its not working!

How old are they? Have you tried a dry burn to clean them?

 

[Retriever]

How long have you been using them? A good bath in some cheap vodka, followed by a rinse in water is what a lot of people recommend.

 

[SynnTx]

Theyre brand new! Not even a week old! I did do dry burns on both of them!

I think all atomizers are bad. You need to keep them clean, try not to use juices that are full of flavoring sediment (mainly dark, opaque or cloudy juices). But no matter how well I tried to keep my atomizers clean they just degraded more slowly and still became awful. I bought new ones which are relegated to the menial tasks of testing new juices and dripping of juices I don't vape often. They do not leave the house. I use cartomizers (Boge on 510-threaded devices) for 98% of my vaping. At least with cartomizers I can just start a new one every 7-10 days (about 20ml run though) and then everything works like brand new again.

If they're heating up and not producing vapor, it's likely your cart is causing the short on the vapor delivery. Drip a drop of juice directly on the atty, then hit the trigger and give it a sec to burn off. Make sure your cart is topped off after. It's possible the cart's filter is worn and needs replaced.

I tired this on both attys, no difference.

Are you using cartridges or dripping? What thickness juice? An overly wet atomizer is flooded and won't get very hot and won't make much vapor. They need to be damp with juice but not drowned. if you think it is flooded, blow the atomizer out into a tissue and prime with less liquid and wait for the liquid to soak down to the coil.

If you are using cartridges, the wick in the atomizer is necessary. And most consider cartridges are not a great way to vape. Try fluffing the stuffing of a cartridge up a bit, make sure it is damp with the stuffing positioned even with the top edge of the juice cup, and try again. But it will not work if you pulled the wick out of the atomizer.

And how thick is your juice? What is the PG/VG? If your juice is very thick (high VG) you may need to thin it with a few drops of distilled water so it will flow at least as fast as you are vaping it.

If they're a week old, and you bought them from Hoosier, he will replace them.

even after he cleaned them?

All Atty's are not bad, not even close, try an i06 & HH-357 you can juice these to your fill and vape on em all day long with way more flavor than any carto and they last way longer then cartos. The trick is buying the right ones and matching them up to the correct Mod/Watts. I've got 6 HH-357's and 6 i06's that have been going for over 90 days right now and working as well as when new, rotating between 12 Mods. No filler carto could ever come close to out performing this. NEVER, PS = Running 100% VG

+1 on the ikenvape io6, wow

 

[GhosT81]

Yeah I guess we need to know if you're using carts or dripping. If you're dripping maybe its your juice. If you're using carts maybe you need new filler.

 

[SynnTx]

I have 7 different cartridges with 7 different flavors and the attys work with none of them

 

[GhosT81]

I know it seems like a dumb question but are they filled enough? It's been mentioned before that maybe the filler is shot. You try getting some cartomizers instead. They work tons better anyway. You can try dripping on the atty too.drip about 3-4 drops right into the atty and then try it.

One of the reasons I build my own atomizers out of my old CE2 parts for my Carmel Tobacco dripping needs..thickness of this juice kills atomizers in hours sometimes but my homemade "CE2omizers" hold up pretty good and come apart easy for cleaning/rebuilding

I've been thinking of posting something sometime on how I built them from parts I have laying around and some NiChrome wire I bought at MadVapes

i agree-most vendors on here are decent about things you just bought - go to site and to the contact area and see if they will work with you. they may just been bad from the start.
