Did I just blow my brand new atty?

[skywalk]

I just received my xhaler and I used it at 5v on my stock 510 atty.
after barely 5mins of vaping, it stopped producing heat. press the button and nothing happens. I guess this newbie just blew his first atty ever huh?

any way to salvage this atty or is it junk? I only have 2 attys left

any tips on how to prevent this from happening to the other two? thanks

Take very short hits like 2 seconds and keep the atty bridge wet. that may help..

Order some HV atties to use with the xhaler.. they will last longer,,

hope this helps..

Make sure its not flooded first and blow through it from the battery side holding it ove a napking to see if it has alot of juice in it it just might and if it does then thats could be the whole problem. After that put 2 drops on the bridge and start short puffs to see if it gets going

Short of a meter on it to see if there is continuity and assuming it isnt flooded, yes, you might have killed it.

Try another atty. It's possible it could be an issue with the mod.

Just covering all bases here.

I would also try the atty with a regular 510 batt, in case it is the batt connector from the mod. If there is no sizzle from the atty, try a hot water flush with blowing out, shake it out, and dry over night and try again. Silent and cold generally means dead atty, but then I'm using standard 510 batts, not a mod. Good luck, and let us know!

The problem could be a number of things. They are all covered in the guide. Link is in my sig.

I changed attys and the new one works. the old one just does nothing. no heat, no sizzle, no response of any kind. tested on stock 510 batt, and the xhaler batt.

Sounds like was dead

if you have a digital volt meter, you can check the atty for resistance. one lead to the outer threads, other to the center hole. I think it should be 2.8 ohms but not entirely sure. if no resistance at all, its dead. i always have a bunch of attys. buy in bulk when on sale. they're cheap.

I just tried using my digital ohm-meter and the numbers keep jumping up and down, no matter how steady I keep my hands, or wherever I place the probes.

it simply jumps between 2.9 to around 4.1 ohms. is there any way to get a more accurate reading, or is this just how it's going to be...to get a range like that?

Major bummer! Make sure when puffing that the cig does not get "HOT" warm is ok but if you can feel it getting hot, take a break!
