Clogged 510 atty

[klutzyleo]

My atty was working perfectly and then just out of nowhere it was impossible to hit off of it. I can still get vapor, but it feels like there is no air flow. I tried blowing it out and it's impossible. There is too much resistance... no air comes out of the other end. I've tried dry burning it and I've tried using crest pro health.... Neither option worked at all. I'm at a loss. Is there anything I can do or is the atty a lost cause at this point? And does anyone know what would cause this? Its just so odd to me since one vape it was perfect and the next it was clogged up.

put a multimeter on it and test the resistance. that'll tell you if it can be saved or not. if memory serves, 510s run between 2.3 and 3.4 ohms.

if no meter available, try burning some pga in there, or boiling it.

i'm not over familiar with the inner workings of these, but perhaps its possible your wick is loose and blocking the air flow?

I use both 510 and 901 atomizers and I'm surprised how fast people go through them. I just blow them out. I never boil and if need I will do a hot burn with some hydrogen peroxide. My 510's last me at least 2-3 months and I'm using a 901 atomizer that is over 4 months old.

I tell my friends that if it working fine then leave it alone.

Long hot bath in hot water, if that doesn't help, try alcohol. Long bath, too.
If that still doesn't help, there are an estimated 100.000 ways of cleaning atties hidden in this forum.

You might want to try to figure out what caused that, though. If it was, say, one particular liquid, you might want to reconsider before using that one again.

Thanks! That actually seemed to do the job quite well!

Sometimes those little air holes near the bottom of the atty get clogged with juice. Take a pin and clear those 2 little holes on opposite sides of the atty. Its around the bottom of the atomizer just above the threads.

This has cleared out several of my attys that i thought were weak.
