I Need Help, I Think My E-Cig Is Broken

[Arthur Fudge]

I am very new to e-cigs and I really need help. I have had my e-cig for about a month now and now im having trouble drawing and getting vapor. When I draw the end of the e-cig doesn't even light up.

I also reuse my cartridges and re-fill them with e-juice regularly. Should I be cleaning something, does anyone know what would cause this?

I also use a 51 treo.

i am new myself, but i would say no light is a battery problem??

or an atty problem if you are getting small amount of vapor

 

[Lab]

what kind of e-cig do you have

 

[Arthur Fudge]

i thought it was a battery issue too, but i took it back to the store i got it from and the lady tested it and it worked fine. Its still possible though.

 

[mianker]

What brand of e-cig are you using? Have you cleaned the atty?

 

[Lab]

no light is battery dead or dieing..

if there is little vapor could be from the battery being low.. or it needs cleaned.. buy a new battery.. and a few attys..

 

[mianker]

The atty is not the battery.

 

[Arthur Fudge]

how should i clean my atty then?

 

[mianker]

You can try removing the cartridge and blowing it.

 

[Arthur Fudge]

alright, so clean the atty and the cartridges then... whats the best methods?

 

[mianker]

What brand of e-cig are you using?

 

[mianker]

Do you have more than one battery and more than one atty?

 

[Arthur Fudge]

i use a 51 treo, and i only have one battery and one atty

 

[mianker]

I have not heard of that brand but attys can die. Go to the main page and check under E-CIGARETTE MAINTENANCE. If you have used the same battery and atty for a month the atty could be worn out and dead.

 

[Arthur Fudge]

they really can die that fast?

The first thing I would try is cleaning the threads. I do it everytime I charge the battery. Just a paper towel and a twist around the threads of the batt then wad the papertowel up and stick it in the atty end. If you have never done this you may want to try a little alcohol. That fixed all my problems with draw and vapor.

 

[Arthur Fudge]

can the atty get wet? I mean is it okay to use alchohal on it or water?

 

[Lab]

some attys only last people a few days others last months.. they are only around 7$ each so its not that big of loss..

if you only have 1 battery and 1 atty.. you should check out cignot.com and buy a 510 starter kit for 35$

blow through the treaded end of the atomizer into a paper towel till no fluid comes out
