Is it possible that one e-juice ruined my atomizers?

I cleaned my Ego-M cartos and they seemed dry. Added new polyfill and filled one with new juice I had just received. My atty basically stopped working. It seemed as if it was wet. I took this as the carto must have had undetected water in it. Blew it out, and no better. Got out my new atty and the same thing happened. It seems like they were producing warm steam and not vapor. Very heavy, and moist. Let them set overnight and today was no better.

Tried the e-juice in the tank carto and the same warm and steamy vapor. It seems the new juice is very watery and not at all like the time I had purchased it before. It is supposed to be 80/20 PG/VG. I used another tank, filled it with another brand of 80/20 mix and it the new tank vapes fine.

Is it possible I got a watered down juice? What should I do with the atty's? Clean them and let them dry a few days till my new atty comes in the mail?

Thanks!

I've had a few juices that clogged my atty's. Usually if you blow them out they're good to go. One juice I got just ruined two atty's though, who knows why but I never could revive them. I dripped on a used atty and it quit working, I tried blowing it out and cleaning it but it never did work again. Oh well, put on a brand new atty and dripped again, same thing. I tossed that juice in the trash.

Anyway, try blowing it out really good and put another juice into it. If that doesn't work try cleaning it with alcohol and let it dry overnight. If that doesn't work maybe a dry burn will bring it back to life.

My experience with atties was that if they don't work right out of the box, they will never work right. Cleaning really doesn't help much--improper cleaning can damage them.

I had problems vaping Johnson Creek juices in a 510. I switched to Dekang juices and haven't had juice problems since.

HTH,
Dave
