I'm not sure what the issue is but I put my eroll away awhile ago because the draw got really tight and its not producing vapor anymore. I have had it since February and I vaped on it for about a month. I've never changed the atomizers or cleaned tanks. I want to clean it to see if that might help but I can't seem to find any really good tutorials on how to do it without either dry burning (which I have no device to do that with) or using a syringe (I also do not have this.)

Please help - I'm eager to get back to vaping!

Thanks!!!!

    Hi there Charley Crystal :)
    Do you have any new heads? Sounds like your old one is done for and you need to replace it.

    well that's the whole problem. you need to get new atomizers and new cartos. they get gunked up by juice eventually - even if you clean them, they still need to be replaced - at regular intervals. NO coil is going to last 8 months, even with cleaning.

    You can dry burn the type a joyetech atties.

    In the eroll.

    take the top part of the type A atty off (which has the wicks) and that will expose the bottom part of that atty which has the coils. soak that part in alcohol or everclear. When dry, put back in eroll (w/out top part) and blow from bottom of your eroll in a mirror. You will see the coils light up. :)

    Blowing into eroll battery from bottom will activate the coils in atty.

    After dry burning, put the atty back together and see if you get a vape.

    I'd guess that after a month, it's dead so.........not sure I would bother with all this. :)

    Thank you sooo much! Just pmed you! My eRoll is super precious, it's the only thing that gets me over certain humps in the day. I bought a cheap fin to help with the cig need. My egos are great I just even still feel like I want to smoke something real. My eRoll loaded with sub zero at 24 mg always helps.

    This is not true, I've got attys that I've been using for well over a year. They will need to be rewicked, but if you care enough to disassemble an atty for cleaning, rewicking is well within your grasp.

    Everything else MissBlue said is spot on, though.
