UPDATE:
That's all for right now. Looking forward to my weekend, and some time to have drinks and try to tan in all the rain that's headed our way. Yipppeeeeeeeeeee


Aww, look at the silver lining -- tanning is bad for you, ages your skin! So with all the rain, you're subtracting years from your visage! *g* Keep up with all the rain, and you'll look 6 mos old when you're 90.....LOL

Omg, that's like almost criminal to not get to have coffee.
You need to have your own personal pot there along with a cappuchino machine, you deserve them :D

Haha, usually my boyfriend makes the coffee and I drink it while I'm getting ready, but this morning we both overslept! Snooze is dangerous, and shutting it completely off is even worse, haha.

UPDATE:

Tons of emails
So I'll be keeping this brief.

juice orders are caught up from the weekend and just went out, as did a few more Prodigys. Still waiting on the rest of the 901 adapters, so bear with us.

Should be getting more PTs around Wednesday, so that will ROOOCCCKKKKK!

We're also waiting on some more switches, adapters, etc, so if your order for a few odds and ends didn't head out, that's what we're waiting on. Should head out by Wednesday!

Back to the ticket system. Sorry if I've been slow to respond, but man these troubleshooting ones are taking a lot of thought and me taking my Prodigy apart and putting it back together and investigating what the heck could possibly be happening to all of yours, so just bear with me. I promise I'll get to ya'll!
 
My 901 is now eating atty's. Didn't at first but it is now. I'm doing exactly what I've always done, (vaping as usual) I think it may be the atty's, not the Prodigy, at least I hope so. If you find any answers to atty problems, please post. But I think it may just be bad atty's. I've used both the 901 and the 4075, both have stopped working. Two of them within 5 minutes of each other. All contacts are clean, NOT overtightened, I take at the most 2 - 3 sec. draws at a time and then put it down, etc. etc.

Don't forget my order :) for the atomizers. Just received my second Prodigy today. Absolutely love them.

Hey Sharon, how much liquid are you using, and how often are you re-dripping? Have you checked the attys with the "Please Read" thread pics at the top?

If anything Casey, I may be using too much liquid. I drip two drops probably every 4th or 5th draw,not sure, will have to keep a watch and try to guage.

I just went and read that again, sent to me as a reminder by GaryJ. I had the same run of bad atty's once with the Screwdriver. I truly believe it's either bad atty's from the manufacturer or user error. Even though I try to be VERY careful, I'm sure I make mistakes.

But I did have two go within 5 minutes of each other and they came from the same group of atty's. You'll have to understand, I have groups of atty's...:D. After I get the atty's from you that I ordered I'll have over 100 of them.

I have used both 901's and 4075's, to me neither one is better than the other.

Ok, this may be the issue. On the 901, 2 drops gets you MAYBE 2 puffs in my experience. Sounds like you might be vaping it dry. Try more like 3-4 very carefully slowly dripped drops every 4 puffs. Should work much better.

OK, then, is it possible to burn the atty's out by putting too much liquid in? That's a question I have too.

I notice that sometimes when you drip it may get stuck on the side and not into the pot. That's why it is so important to drip slowly and wait for it to work its way into the actual atomizer. Just getting it on the bridge is not getting it all the way where it needs to go. If you dip too much it will just run out the bottom. Make sense? I had two True 901s go because they were dry and hot when I dripped on them. I really think when I dripped onto them in that hot state it popped the coil. Like pouring cold water onto a hot window. It will crack. All it takes is that little tiny wire to break. I am going to be more careful to wait for it to cool down before dripping and waiting between drops before hitting it. Patients is a virtue.

It's possible to flood them, but then you can blow them out and let them drain for a few hours. That should be enough to relieve them of the excess liquid. Just be sure to drip one drop at a time, and watch that the liquid is absorbed into the mesh on the bridge of the atty before adding another drop. You want the atty to be wet, but you do not want liquid to be pooled up on top. Make sense?

OK, makes sense. The only thing I think I'm not doing (and I always wait for it to cool before adding liquid, and I always drip into the center of the atomizer) is watching that the mesh absorbs the liquid before I add another drop. That's interesting. Any way I really do believe that every so often I get a run of bad atty's. Maybe not. But I'm definitely NOT unhappy.

Oh and is my attys soon to be shipped ;)
