Is there anyway to increase airflow to a 306 atomizer?

[nocturn4l3030]

I have 3 debridged (i like them that way) Cisco 306 1.5ohm atomizers. I noticed the one that hits and produce vapor like crazy is the one that produces great airflow

By airflow I mean that if I blow through the threaded end of the atomizer (as if i were blowing the juice out) and put my hand on the other end, I feel the most air on the other side when compared to the other atomizers.

I have this brand new atomizer that won't break in, it's been 5 days now. It "sounds" like it's burning and working correctly, but the vapor production sucks. When I blow through it, it's not nearly as much as the other one that's working great.

I'm trying to fiddle with the coil now since it's exposed any way.. I'm not sure where the air in the atomizer goes through to the other side when blowing through the threaded end.. can someone enlighten me on this? Or is there anything I can do to the unbridged side to open up the air flow?

well i compared the 3 atomizers (1 working exceptional, 1 working decent, the 1 crappy one that's brand new) and the 1 that isn't working well had something almost sticking out of the center hole (when looking at the bridgeless side).. i'm thinking this is the firing pin? well i pushed it down some.. and it's working slightly better.. but still crappy.

i hate atomizers >.< i wish they all just worked consistently... bout to toss this thing and it's only 5 days old. if anyone has any tips or anything that i can try to improve this thing, lemme know.

copy and paste from what i wrote on another sub-forum on this issue:

"okay guys I fixed the "decent" attie, but i had to sacrifice the crappier one >.<

first i drilled a bigger hole like the sticky above instructed.. and it helped a little but it didn't do the trick.. because I don't think the draw was tight in the first place. this should be something done when it gets tight, not on a new attie (like what the sticky says)

so i opened the crappy one up and inspected the insides, and realized the airflow comes from a little hole underneath the visible coil. so i debridged the atomizer, moved the coil away temporarily, and using a small small screwdriver from an eyeglass kit, poked through the center hole a little bit. i don't think you want to push it all the way down, but i did it till i felt something and pushed it down a slight bit more and removed it. put the visible coil back in place and BAM - hits like the monster i'm used to. now when i blow through the threaded end, i can tell there's a noticeable difference in airflow

obviously i don't suggest this unless you're about to throw away the attie like i was. hope this helps anyone.. i'm still mad that i had to sacrifice an attie though >=[ "

Well this is a 510 (Vaporer's pic)

Here's another, note the one on the left.

The main hole has become melted, almost sealed. A small drill bit can be used to carefully re-open it if the atty still fires well.

From my experience, That's just about right. one out of three 306's work well. I don't care who makes it. That's why I don't buy em anymore. Waste of money and time
