hi guys and gals, i was enjoying my e cig and then the vapour just stopped? thought it was the batt, changed to a freshly charged one and still nothing?! is it common for the atomizers to just die?! i've got a couple of spares so not too bad but the one that died only lasted 3 batteries worth?!

what should i do? try and send it back, can i revive it or is dead?

thanks

as far as i know, there could be some problems that cause 'it's dead', but mainly, it can be either the connection between the battery and the atomizer. OR, one of the 2 wires inside the atomizer has come up loose. atleast that was my problem. btw i have the mini DSE102 cig. just bought it yesterday myself ;) so im new to all this 2. so i thought that my atomizer was dead two, but after some 'little' research on the net, i came up reassembling it and saw that one wire just got loose. had it back connected and it works fine ;) hope this helps for u. btw, search on this forum how to dissasemble the atomizer, if u want to do that.

I have a penstyle. I thought one of my atomizers was dead so I attached it to the battery and blew on it from the LED end. Then I put a couple of drops of liquid on it and sucked directly on the atomizer (no cart or mouthpiece). I saw a tad of smoke so I washed it, dried it, primed it and now it's working fine. Something might have been clogging mine...dunno.

Unfortunately atomizers have to be treated as disposable. As Kate said if it's not getting hot when you suck on it with a charged battery connected then it's dead. They're not user serviceable components.

Check to see if your seller has a 30 day warranty on the parts. If they do then they should replace it for free. If not then you'll need to buy another one. Good job you've got spares.

Atomizers vary a lot. I haven't had one die quite that quickly though, but it's certainly possible.
