Intellicig Evo [Help with atomizer!]

[kn336a21]

Hi, I'm posting this here because for some reason I'm not allowed to post in the help section. Anyway, I recently got my intellicig evo in the mail today and was quite pleased with my purchase. I used it for about 3 hours on and off, but it still had some primer taste.

I read a tip that I should blow into the atomizer in order to get rid of the primer taste. After I blew from the battery side of the atomizer into a paper towel, I got a lot of juice that came out. Afterwards, I tested it out and there was little vapor production. Shortly after, there was zero vapor production.

To run some tests, I got my multimeter and received 3.5 ohms. So, I know that the coil is working. However, I took the cartridge off and blew some air at the battery side and saw that atomizer lighting very brightly. It never got that bright.

The problem is that I noticed the strands that stick out were not getting very hot at all. It seems like the coil inside is getting hot, but it's not heating up any of the metal that touches the polyfill inside the cartridge.

I tried to dry it for about an hour in a paper napkin, but i still get the same result. Is the atomizer shot?

Which techniques should I implement to remedy to problem?

Thanks!

I guess after I blew out the atomizer, it became too dry. That would explain why the atomizer looked like it was going to blow up. I dropped about 5 drops of liquid onto the atomizer and lots of vapor production after that! I'm excited again.

The bridge of the atomizer (that metal mesh that sticks out) doesn't get very hot at all. It's really just a metal wick that brings the liquid out of the polyfill and into the atomizer. Make sure that if you're using carts the bridge is in contact with the polyfill at all times, or else you won't get proper wicking and will end up with reduced vapor production.

Good to see that you figured out your problem. Enjoy!
