I would need a little more information. I am assuming from the number of posts that this is a new one but I don't know for sure.

If it is new it could be a combination of issues but my first guess would be that there was primer left in the CE3 and it wasn't dry burned or cleaned before use. Dry burning a CE3 is pretty easy as long as you have an X2 or spinner. If it is an auto, blow in the charge side until the clear liquid inside goes away but do it in bursts, not one long blow. If you have a manual (X2 or spinner), same thing; push the button in bursts before filling it until the clear liquid goes away..................

If you already put juice in it, which I am assuming you did for this one; try to syringe the juice out and take the seal out (the silicone with the syringe hole) and run the CE3 under hot water for a solid few minutes and then let it dry. You can dry burn these after you have rinsed them to get it dry but again, not too aggressively.

If it is old, you probably have gunk on your coil.....more of an advanced fix but I can explain it if that is the case.

Personally, the old ones will get nasty after a while. Some have suggested everclear or vodka but personally, it you get a good 2-3 months out of one and it starts to go, just toss it and use a new one. For the trouble, I would rather just start over than try to revive it.
