Blown atomizers

[yoshistr]

I have two failed atomizers that both failed this past week, right now one produces no vapor and one produces very little. I have the battery at full power so I'm sure that it is the atty that has failed, I have tried cleaning them out but they still do not heat up. Should I try to send them back or buy new ones or is there a fix?

Thanks

You atomizers are either dead or FTD (fixin' to die). It is a natural event. Cleaning cannot reverse physical degredation of the heating coil. If they are under a warranty, get replacements. If not, buy several so you always have a spare or two.

1) Do you have a meter that can check the restiance? If that's still good, you might be able to clean them.

2) Put a shirt on.

I have opened up the part that contacts the battery, re-soldered the wire connecting the contact to the atomizer. Also underneath the wire mesh of the atomizer there is a wire connecting the two contacts (+/-) and it seems loose but is difficult to reach, I attempted moving it some. I have a multimeter to measure the amp/volt/resistance but have not tried because it seems impossible to get it to contact the wire while a current is passing through since I need to get air inhaled out to start the current.
So far I have managed to get one working fairly well but it fails after a few inhalations, and the other one now produces some vapor but not enough. I still believe the contacts are loose underneath the heating element but removing the element and trying to re-solder the contacts would be a real pain considering my tools.

Take the atomizer off the battery and check the resistance. If it's over a few ohms, then it's probably on the way out. If it's over 10 ohms, it's DEFINITELY on it's way out.
