Hello all,
I have an IKV HR510 that I have used for two days and a very light vaper. Anyway, the atty started off great, but then I started getting very little vapor. So little in fact I feared I had popped the thing. Anyway, this am I started trying to use it and could hear only a low hiss, which lead me to believe that it was NOT popped. I pulled out the ohm reader and it now reads over 19.6 ohms vs the original 3.5. I also checked another atty (old, not ikv) I had and it ohm'd out at its expected 3.0. I am using a 6v device and it is putting out its expected voltage. So the atty's resistance is so high its not getting hot enough to vaporize the juice.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is this atty now useless? Do I need to clean a nearly new atty? FYI, I was vaping a light colored, 20% vg juice.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Brian
