I have had trouble with my latest batch of DSE-901 attys. The metal wick seems to be loosening, which results in poor wicking to the coil. The atomizer is not very used and it is clean. The atomizer gets real hot, but produces weak vapor. (not a battery problem)
Anyway, today I took my "weak" atomizer and took off the wicking, which covers the "shroud", it is a small thin flat metal band that covers and protects the coil. I took some steel wool and unraveled it into "whispy" strands. Then I made two small balls of it and stuffed into each end on the coil, under the shroud. Each ball of stuffed steel wool extends out and touches the "wall" of the atomizer (provides better wicking")
I am quite pleased with the result. TONS of vapor once again! It is wicking very nicely also.
Best of all... $10.00 saved by not having to throw away the atomizer. I am going to look around today and find some "stainless steel" wool. That way it won't get rusty, and it should last the life of the coil.
I use a Screw Driver and always "drip". I never use a mouth piece cartridge.
