Is it me or is it eh atty?

My 510 seems to be acting funny.

I'm getting vapor production but no flavor? Can an atty gone or going bad do this?
Earlier I was getting good vapor but harsh TH and couldn't taste a thing.
Tried different juices, tried using PT. Seems to be happening with both my attys.
Cleaned both attys with hot water soak yesterday.
Very very strange.

Are you dripping or using carts? If you are using carts, you might have some filler stuck to your bridge or your coil, which would give lots of smoke, harsh TH, and no flavor (well, maybe some burnt flavor). Try cutting down your filler material. make sure you line your cart up with your atomizer bridge, and make sure you aren't burning the end of the cart (look for evidence of melting). I'd recommend trimming the atty end of the cart and dripping if you're using manual batts. It has been the best solution for me, and I've tried almost everything.

Should have mentioned that.
Am dripping, got a delrin tip. Checked the end of the tip not seeing an disfiguring, thought about that because I had carts melted not very long ago.

Now it seems that after dripping 2-3 drops it doesn't last as long before I have to drip again.
Really getting that toxic taste at the end.

Guess I shouldn't be to alarmed. Going on 4 weeks using both of them pretty heavily.
going to order some more later in the day.
Wouldn't mind knowing whats going on though for future reference, like is this a sign its ont he way out the door?
If so at least there was some warning so I didn't have to go without. I think I will order 3 more and just use them one at a time to get the most use out of them.

I always keep a pack of spare atties floating around - sometimes it even has a couple left in it when I hit an emergency I try and order a new pack every couple of months just to stay ahead of the curve as sometimes atties all seem to die at once . I no longer talk speciifcs about how long mine last as, every time I do, one dies lol
Usually if they are getting very poor vapor production or constant bad taste (Im fairly lucky usually mine just get too hard to draw on rather than bad taste) then I chuck 'em out and fix on the new ones. Life's really too short, imo, to waste time trying to resurrect them - they really arent that pricey (compared to a carton of cigs whichh lasted me a week...) but lots of people try bringing them back to life. I tried once - it didnt work and I thought 'too much hassle' lol.

Well now it seems to be working alot better than before.
I'm also wondering if the juice I was using had something to do with it.
I had this Campfire Coffee flavor that is real harsh, to me. Strong TH compared to other juices I have. Made me feel like a sore throat. I tried the coffee flavor again now that the atty is working a little better and it is similar to what I experienced earlier, but no toxic taste now.
Who knows...its all so new to me. Still going to place my order today.
