I am wondering...

...a couple things. Does weather, heat, humidity, etc. affect the taste, amount of vape, taste, etc.

And can an atomizer go bad? I have one that is not performing correctly. The coil heats up red, but vapor production is way off. If I put enough liquid in to make some smoke it acts like it's flooded. But when I clear it out it act dry. Sometimes the vapor seems, I don't know how to quite explain it, burny? Not like it is burning but the vapor, fumes maybe, yeah fumes would be a better description. The fumes are harsh. I just did a cleaning session, this time I used 91% alcohol. I dried them with my air compressor. Let them rest, primed and one came out ok but the one not so good. I think hot water worked better. I'll try and do that maybe there is residue hanging in there. And I read somewhere alcohol was not good for the lungs.

Yes attys can go bad. I'd go buy a multimeter if you don't have one already. Its good to check ohms of atty and voltage of batteries. You can use rubbing alcohol but you need to flush it out really good. I use hot water and then soak in vodka. then rinse again. Trick is to let it dry afterwards. It is always good to have a few spare attys. Also good to check ohms as soon as you get new attys.

I use white vinegar soak for 20 minutes rinse with hot water for 5 adn then re-prime with juice and good to go.

Hmmm

Humidity - dunno

Can atomizers go bad - yes. They can also get very dirty and gunked up with juice residue and need cleaning. Near-boinling water works best for me. A good soak, then flush it out, then alcohol. But you should have spare atomizers! Anyone who uses atomizers should have spares. Isopropyl / rubbing alcohol is a poison. Make sure an atty is totally dry before using it. I use Pure grain alcohol from a liquor store in another state.

I've accidentally vaped an atty when it wasn't completely dry after soaking in IA. Believe me when I say that it tasted like hammered crap and I'll never do that again! Now I put my atties on the top fan of my computer so they can dry and I don't get them mixed up again!
