Hard pull

[Bman.]

I noticed this morning on my way in to work that my drag was considerably tougher. Almost as if I had my thumb over the hole on the bottom of the atomizer (I didn't). The vaper was awesome but I am afraid this is going to burn out the atomizer.

I topped off the cart last night...starting puffing on it this morning. I have a TW901.

What would make one cart pull harder than another? Cart filler stuffing?
The same liquid as usual has been used so I am not sure where the change is coming from.

Bman.

It could be your atomizer having issues like getting older or starting to fail. Could be your cart is getting gunked up. Have you washed your cart out? You'd be surprised how much that helps. Or you just might need to change out the cart stuffing entirely.

Try removing your atomizer (separate from batt and cart), and blow through the battery end (make sure you have a tissue or paper towel under it) with a steady long pressure.

You'll probably find quite a bit of juice and gunk drop out. Wipe the inner shell of the atomizer casing and re-assemble (you may need to drip a drop or two of juice on the mesh again to prime it and not change overheating the coil).

I find I have to do this every so often with any device once it either starts getting tougher getting a pull on it, or if it starts not producing a satisfying vapor.

Thanks guys -

Any problem with residual nicotine on pots and pans that I boil / clean carts in?

There shouldn't be, considering the amount of water to the amount that would come out of the atomizer in comparison would be huge.

However, I'll say this...... aside from blow cleaning out the atomizer, for near 6 months of using, I have NEVER found a need to ever boil or any other cleaning method has been required. And from seeing other reports of short lived atomizers, I don't think I ever will.

Thanks Greg - I am with you on the cleaning. I haven't had any problems with my first atomizer... 3 weeks now. It appears to be clean and the vap is great.

Now, I need to try out this coffee filter / teabag filler thing i am reading over on the other cart stuffing threads. I need some carts too.... hmm.
