Is my atomizer dying?

[eLiciafay]

I have a 901, today it started producing barely any vapor. I switched out the cart, tried a freshly charged battery, blew out the atomizer...nothing helped.

I thought when an atomizer dies it's a quick, abrupt thing. Is it possible that the atomizer can slowly fade out of operation?

I am so upset! I have another atomizer around here...somewhere. I blew it out and let it sit on paper towel to drain overnight and I lost it...I think I knocked it off of my vanity. I haven't had an urgent need to find it, so I've been putting off hunting for it. Now I guess I have to find a flashlight and see if I can find that critter somewhere to see if a different atomizer makes a difference. I ordered a few more as backups the other day, but they're not here yet and I don't know when they'll come.

I don't know what I'll do if my e-cig dies! I don't wanna go back to analogs. I DON'T WANNA BE STINKY AGAIN! *pout*

E--watch movie and read this thread--many atomizers dininish slowly-others die cold out of the blue--This may help--Sun

Not sure but besides the normal blowing and draining every night, I also do the coke/pepsi soaking trick.. I have heard some boiling their atomizers but so far the coke trick once a week and with the blowing and draining nightly seems to have kept mine working almost like new.

i stand by the CaSH technique of holding the atomizer , battery connection side up over a "whistling" kettle of boiling water. Brought a few of mine back to life

also , use tongs

Thanks for the link! I don't know where I'll get the high heat part of the solution, but I can get some coke to soak it in. Do you think coke zero will work? We don't have any regular sugary coke here.

This made me LOL. I think tongs would be required for this procedure!

Grimm--Good advise here about the tongs--hands really do not like boling water--LOL--Sun
