Hard draw on a 510

[kristin]

OK, I'm just having issues today, lol!

What causes a 510 that was working fine to suddenly feel like I'm trying to suck an extra extra thick shake through a straw?

And if I need to clean the atty, why does that affect the air flow anyhow?

There's only a little room between the air holes by the threads and the intake to the cart. Doesn't take much to clog it up. Then you don't get enough air to keep the atty cool and it gets a burnt taste easily. Thicker liquids will do this to a 510 in a minute. I'll sometimes add a very very small amount of water to a batch of liquid for that reason.

Take a quick puff without the cart. If it's still hard to draw, the atty is clogged. Try blowing the atty out from the batt end. If that doesn't help, try using a small needle to make sure the two little air holes by the threads in your atty are clear and then blow it out again. If that doesn't do it you'll have to rinse (possibly soak in cola first) the built up gunk out and then dry the atty back out.

Maybe you'll get lucky and you just need to rinse your cart out.

OK, I got ya.

It's a new atty, but I've been using it a lot. Only with HV juice. Maybe blowing it out will do it. I didn't realize juice could get in the air "duct" for lack of a better word.

The draw has been getting harder and harder all day!

Thanks Lotus!

NP. Some of Drew's HV juices I've gotten have been on the thick side. When I see those really thick drops coming out of the bottle I'll add a little water so I don't clog up the works. And I do mean very little water.
