WARNING: This works for atomizers which are "clogged" not "cold." It could (and likely will if done haphazardly) totally kill (make "cold") you atomizer. Only try this on those atomizers that are so clogged as to be useless to you and you have nothing to lose.

Between the atomizer bowl and the opening on the battery side of the atomizer there is a stack of 4 or 5 mesh screens. They are made of the same material you see on the bridge portion of the atomizer. They have a hole going through the middle slightly smaller than the one on the battery connection. If these disks get moved around a little and out of alignment this channel through the disks can become easily clogged or blocked entirely. We need to clear that hole.

My method is to use a sewing machine needle. They are sharp and have a slight bulge (the eye) at the tip which clears a nice path.

First thing, make note of which way the bridge crosses the atomizer. The coil is mounted perpendicular to that. You want to slowly and gently push the needle while twising it through the battery end toward the coil at an angle. You want to angle it to one side and then the other of that coil. (you are aiming for the point where the bridge meets the side of the tube) Hit the coil and you are dead. Make 2 passes, once on one side and once on the other.

If you are successful you will have a functional atomizer again. I've done this on 5 atomizers I had given up on so far and they are back in my rotation now!

Email Your Vendor If Possible for His or Hers Product's Proper Instructions, If you already did and / or followed them email him back about warranty or other. And yes it could be defective , keep reading.

Always try to purchase from a vendor with a warranty & has good ratings, check the forums for good vendor list.

If that fails or does not work out, before a new replacement, try the suggestions below on this thread and on the forums, there is a lot of good info here.

FYI: You should always have plenty of atoms & batts on hand, these are all disposable / made items with a short lifespan. Try buying in bulk for lower costs.

You should also get about 10 to 14 days of minimum use out of a new atom (obviously not always the case, but too many variables here).


Fact: Its too easy to add too much juice & flood it out, it is easy to do without knowing u did it, its probably the largest cause of no vape. U can actually flood it out the 1st day of ownership if you are adding juice to your carts or dripping .

Fact: You do have to maintain your product ie, if you don't follow your manual (if u have one, hope its good, many are crap or non-existent), if you don't blow it out, clean it, leave it upside when not in use, clean the threads, don't charge it right, etc, It Will Die!

Hope that helps.
