ok..if you are assuming it's dead anyway..try this:
1)Take a kleenex and roll it up and shove it gently into the atty.
2) Blow on the connector end of atty(tiny hole end)..while the kleenex is in there.
3) Take kleenex out and check for fluid. If there is some repeat a few times till it comes out dry.
4)Now put atty back on freshly charged battery..with no cart.
5) In good light..look down barrel of atty..and press and hold battery button down for about 5-10 sec...observing for orange coil to glow. You'll probably need to blow a bit to keep the small amount of vapor out of the way so you can see. The coil has two sides basically one on each side of bridge..the coil should glow easily and quickly when pressed.
6) You'll need to repeat step 5 several times usually...making sure you pause each time and wait for the atty to cool inbetween firings. Don't hold it down any longer than 10 secs at a time though..or you risk popping the atty. Err on the side of less until you get comfortable working with it.
7) Once the coil is glowing well again...stop and drip 2 drops of
juice on it...replace empty cart(so you don't reflood) and then take a hit or two and see if it isn't much better. Don't vape it dry again though.
8) Now load a normal cart and just vape.
9) This should solve the problem.
PS: If you get no fire from the coil..you'll need a multitester to test the ohms and see if it's just plain dead. Check the
mod area of the forum to learn how to do this.
Good luck..hope it helps!
