Hard to inhale on my 510?

[Azz3h]

Hi guys, thanks for allthe advice on what to buy, ended up getting a 510 from TW... was fantastic when I first tried it and have cut down smoking a lot since it arrived, but although it's only a few days old I'vesuddenly found it really hard to inhale gently on it, if I don't inhale hard the auto battery doesn't light up, and it just feels like there is a lot of resistance through the ecig. I don't think it was like this whenI first got it, so would I clean the atomiser or am I missing something important?
Thanks,
Paul

How do you maintain your atty? Do you set them overnight to drain? Have you tried blowing it out? I had that issue but not after a few days. What I found that helped were actually two separate techniques. Bringing a small amount of vinegar to a boil and sitting my attys in it for a coule of hours, or dripping alcohol (soak for it if really bad). Both of these I follow with a good blow out (some report canned air works best but I can still taste the bittering agent. Before using drip a few drops of juice but I find it takes a bit to get the flavor back. I usually drip and put on a mouthiece with no filling until I can get the flavor back. This ca nbe hard on your batts tho.

Try blowing them out or draining them overnight first before going with the other cleaning methods. I usually blow mine out before setting them out for the night.

HTH.

I agree with the previous poster. You need to take your e-cig apart and clear the atty.

Take the atty of the battery, and the cart off the atty. Blow through the atmoizer from the batter side while holding a napking or cloth and the other end to catch the liquid that comes out. Do this 2-3 times with very firm blowing, wipe it down and try it out.

You should be good to go.

thanks for the advice, I'll try doing that boiling thing (fingers crossed) Is there anything special you should do while draining overnight, or just take them off the cart?
Cheers,

Ok I've tried this but still no luck.. part of me is wondering if it's fine and I'm just imagining that it's hard to inhale, maybe because the battery isn't working when it should or something? Will try the vinegar soak and report back

Don't boil the atty..boil the vinegar. Before doing that try dripping some alcohol through it or an alcohol soak.

To drain em.. take em off the cart and place them mouthpiece side down on a paper towel. I actually twist up the end of a paper towel and stick it into the open end of the atty and prop it up on something... Seems to wick stubborn fluid down and out.

A lot of folk find using the flat "whistle" tip carts are much better (the ones that you get on a 901). Got any friends with a 901?

OP are you using a VG based liquid by anychance. I seem to have this issue the most when I used VG versus PG. Haven't had one with a stuffy nose since. Thought I lost one completely but it eventually got the gunk out.
