If an atomizer suddenly stops producing vapor and TH what could the problem be?

[Patrick21]

Would this mean the atty is bust?

Atty is a few days old, i gave it a clean but still no joy. I also tried it with a different battery but no vapor or throat hit, totally feels dead. What ways could i fix this or does this sound broke to you?

Could it be the center post? You may need to get between the post and thread at the base of the atty with a flat screw driver and give it a little wiggle. Pry it just the tiniest bit. This can be done to the battery post too. (carefully) At some point you may want to buy a $10-20 digital multimeter. Takes the guess work out of everything. Sorry for your loss.

Its a DSE 901 atomizer in question, it does have a little hole at the end of the atty, so do i just stick something up it and wiggle around a bit?

The bottom where the threads are......the post that has the hole in the middle. Get a thin piece of metal or pin between that post and the threads that screw on to the battery. Sometimes it gets pushed in a fraction of a millimeter....enough so it isn't making good contact with the battery. If you can wiggle it just a bit, it usually pulls it up enough to make contact again.

Just done it a bit and noticed a slight improvement thanks, will try a bit more now and see if gets any better

give the threads a good cleaning with a toothpick or toothbrush and some isopropyl alcohol. On the atty and the battery. It's important everything makes contact really well.
The other thing too is make sure you've let it dry out enough. It should also improve as you prime the wick with juice again. Sometimes it takes a moment if you cleaned it off really well.

Thanks for your help

Toss it.... As much as we would love our attys to last forever they dont... Sometimes you get a bad one that does not work that well from the start.... In 2 years of vaping Ive only had 1 actually burn out, but over time they do lose their performance and taste...

Maybe flooded? try blowing it out?

since I'm not rich <g> I would not toss out an atty without trying the suggestions here! I've had many an atty "come back to life" by pulling the center pin or clearing out any flooding!

especially if it's only a few days old. My attys usually went a week before a rinse and a couple more before they got a good cleaning when atty's were all I used.
