battery will be checked tonight, new atomizers here on thursday.. not sure what else I can tell about the atomizer. if the batteries voltage is okay, and i'm sure it will be, and the atomizer is not lighting up and barely produces smoke, I think we have to assume that its dead? usually when i get new ones, i connect the battery, barely depress the switch and its glowing bright red.

i'm pretty sure the new atomizer will read lower on ohms, I'm just not sure what would cause the problems in the first place.
That is not a good thing, you probably used the gun yourself. On a more serious note, a dull orange does not equate to bright red.

Wrt attys, well not all things are created equal. Out of 10 I have two I consider duds. They vape but no where near like the other ones. They all read between 3.3-3.5 Ohms. As a matter of fact I have a clone at 3.6 Ohms that vapes better then some low resistance one's I have.

BTW what kind of juice are you vaping. High sweet juices can play havoc on an atty's life. I have not killed an atty yet. Mind you I don;t chain vape nor let my atty go dry. I am not saying this is what is happening here, but some of the posts I read... well you catch my drift.

Without a properly functioning meter, like others have said it will be difficult to diagnose.

I vape tasty vapor atomic cinacide formery atomic fireball. and I vape constantly when not at work. I vape for 45 minutes on the way to work, then 15 minutes on break, then 30 minutes at lunch, then 15 minutes on break, then 45 minutes home, then for about 2-3 hours straight before bed. On the weekends I vape at least 6 hours straight and off and on most of the day. i think I might smoke alot?

You raise it to your hear and hear the sizzle. If you need a visual clue, its dull orange, not bright red.

How often do you refill your carts in a 45 minute session?
