Blew it

[Monster74]

In my over eager filling ive managed to destroy one of my atomizers ( I think) Not to big a deal as I have cartomizers on order but am slightly gutted. Should have know really as I can be a bit bull in a china shop with things

My wife blows through at least 2 attys a week. I started buying them by the boatload. Better than analogs.

Nats, if you have overfilled (flooded) your attie, blow through the battery end holding a piece of tissue over the cartridge end. Then clean any juice from both the attie & battery connections

 

[Monster74]

Thanks Chrisse i'll give that a bash

Nats x

Chrissie is right. You flood that atty and it won't do a thing!
So go blow!!!!!!

 

[JustaGuy]

What do you mean "destroyed" the atty? If it's too much juice, it's just flooded. Blow out, clean as others said. As long as the atty still heats up, it's alive!

Only way the medical examiner can certify the death of an atty is with a multi-meter, worthwhile investment.

A good cleaning and blow out has revived many an atty.....
it lives, it lives Igor IT LIVES !! .... BWHA HA HA.....

Hey, Nats! At least you didn't accidentally pull most of the wick out, thinking it was some fiberfill stuck on the bridge!
(That was me.) *facepalm*
I just stared at it, thinking "What the hell is this crappy brown... Waitaminnit! Doh!"

Pinky, you can still use that atty if you want to just drip. It won't wick well with a cart, but it's not completely worthless. Get a drip tip and use it up.

nothing wrong with flooding...just vape it up....however, running dry will kill those bad boys

I just blew my first atty last week.. Which I'm not upset at all because it's the only atty I've used since I started vaping at the end of April. So I definitely got my money's worth. I seen a bright spark on the coil and hear a quiet little pop and R.I.P atty.

Did blowing yours out work?

 

[Monster74]

Nope blew it. Put some kitchen roll into all night to mop up any juice tried this morning and nothing, nil, nadda having none of it. This atty is off to vape heaven. You live n learn.

Happy vaping

Well that stinks. At least its pretty easy to get a new addy. And cheap also considering the price of a pack of smokes

RIP, poor atty. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!

That's why you always want to have a backup for your backup

Got that right, KenG!
At first, I thought my dual 510 kit would be the only one I would have to buy...
Now I have a dual m402 kit and a 2AA box mod. -Please note: I am "frugal". <-HUGE understatement!
Luckily, I am saving ~$150 a month on anal0gz!
This equipment does seem to grow on its own, though, don't it?
