Last night my atomizer for my Mega atomizer / cartridge body stopped working so I decided to open it up and inspect it. It was black and full of gunk. No problem I thought and gave it a quick clean and also replaced the wick with a wick from a broken TW Chrome Clearomizer as the original one was looking nasty. All back together and working again, I wicked it and then took a vape... NASTY and burnt, so I took a few more dry pulls only harder this time and tried again... still nasty and burnt!
I spent about an hour fiddling with it until after nearly picking out the centre wick inside the coil I snapped the coil!!
Disappointed with myself, I went back to my vaping draw to see if I had anything else to vape on...
I found a DTC which I had put away and stopped using because I kept on getting funny looks from people (or at least was what I thought I stopped using it for. I re-primed it and took it for a spin... Dry hit with an awful metal taste in my mouth.
I again, played about with it and noticed it only had one hole in the side whereas all my previous ones had 2. I used my dremmel to make a second hole in the DTC thinking it would be a wicking problem as I normally use 50/50 eliquid. Nope, it was wicking fine but still burnt tasting and now gurgling.
as a last resort, I managed to remove the bottom of the tank and carefully remove the filler and everything else all in tact. When I unravelled the filler, it was full of burn holes and black burnt filler. I carefully cleaned it all up and even replaced the 2 really burnt bits which were wrapped around each coil with a non woven triangle sling I just happened to have lying around (the material appeared identical) and then carefully reassembled the DTC, re-primed it and tested it... nope nothing.... at 1st I thought it was a wicking problem with the new material so I primed it some more and tested again... nothing again. Even with my finger held down on the button with the dct next to my ear, I couldn't hear anything. the only thing I can think off is I must have some how damaged one of the coils or wires when reassembling it.
I must have wasted 3 1/2 hours doing all of this and now I have nothing to vape on and worse still, I don't have any spare cash until I get paid next Friday! I'm really really peeved off with myself.
I knew I should have bought a spare atty when I had the cash!
