Is This OK?

[STILLSMOK9]

I have been vaping for 6 months now. I know a lot bout maintaing my e-cig equipment, but, not an expert at diagnosing defects.

My 510 atty is vaving kinda wierd, sometimes it is nice, smooth and flavorable, yet sometimes it has that burnt electrical nast taste that we all know.

I have recently notices that if I look into the atty from the cart side that the part that the atty bridge is connected to(the base I guess) is wobbling around some.

Is this normal or should I toss this atty? I'm afraid It may be unhealthy..

Is the wicking mess loose? I would not toss it but rather set it aside and use it for backup.

get a new atty and see.

Hang, the bridge and the piece it attached to are moving inside the atty chamber. They are moving as one piece (if that makes sense)?

I did and the new one does not move around at all..

Sounds like you over heated your Atty, and the silicon that is the insulator between the positive pin and the outside threads has loosened up oh you. I would just set it aside and keep it for a backup.

Thanks Guys!!

I guess that will be the best thing to do since I have a decent stock of replacements on hand.

I've been vaping for alittle over 4 months now, still using the same atty and I noticed mine does the same thing. I thought I might have loosened it while pulling off the cart hairs with my needlenose plyers, but I don't think that's what happened. Anyway mine is still working great, I'm just more careful with the plyers. Don't want it to break off. Haven't noticed any difference in taste or performance.

How do I re-prime it for storage?

Anyone?

Hmmm, come to think of it I did remove some of the atty coil fillers that we all have heard of here on the ECF. This is probably how I loosened it!!

Just drip a few drops of juice into it and put in air tight container like a zip lock or medicine bottle.

Thanks Fram, do I need to clean it first? Gee I hate cleaning!
