Been vaping my 801 for probably about 3-4 weeks and its been working really well. Had some trouble with finding a way to get the filler to wick well, and have been taking the white plastic part off of the inside of the mouthpiece and just putting the filler from the cart in the atomizer then dripping 4-5 drops on the filler, and was having great success with good hits, lots of vapor, and little leakage except when i overfilled it, which i did a few times and would notice it would start leaking on the battery.

So the past couple days ive been getting good at not over filling and its been working great until about midday today, I went to a movie and when i got out id suck on it and the light would light up but the atomizer isnt getting hot at all and no vapor coming through at all.

Im assuming the atomizer is dead, is this when some people would suggest trying one of those nifty coke baths or similar cleaning methods or do they try to do that to keep it clean before this happens.

Sorry for the simple question, but wasnt seeing a clear definition of what a atomizer die'ing was but pretty sure this is it, So what would you suggest trying or is it just buy a buncha extras and expect only 3-4 week life span?

did you drop it or use compress air, some of mine have died 2 or 3 hour after a drop when they were doing the best
