Dry Smoking and Bad Draw

[Chris From Cali]

So I've been dripping directly on the atomizer and sometimes in the cart depending on my mood. I noticed over the last 2 days that it's been getting harder and harder to draw on my RN4081 almost to the point it's like sucking on a milkshake if not a little worse. So I decided to switch out the atomizer for another one I had laying around and now it's back to normal. So it got me thinking what happened? Has anyone else had this experience?

Yes, I've clogged an atomizer after dripping. Have you tried cleaning it or blowing it out? Last ditch effort is to hook it to the battery and blow on the LED end of the battery. That triggers the switch and sometimes you can "burn" some of the gunk off the atomizer. However, you risk burning it out. But if it's a lost cause as is, it can't hurt to give it a try.

Very common--if you are going to drip get ready to blow though batteries that the e-liquid flows into and the atomizers that get clogged up. I gave up the drip deal and only use blank cartridges that I refill now.

I haven't tried that yet. (Although I did read that tip from you before the site went down and that's why I have extra atomizers laying around Saved a few!)

I washed one before and it just didn't seem to work the same, so I bought a new one, and it's the new one that just crapped out. Or at least I guest it has. I've only had it for a week!

I guess so, that sucks! Well lesson learned, stop being lazy and drip in the carts. I have a syringe I'll just have to start using it
