lots of use on 510 atty = hard draw due to wearing out?

[captainbrianbeard]

so like the title says ive noticed 2 of my attys started with a nice easy draw and then eventually with a lot of use the draw gets harder. i didnt notice until i got a brand new atty recently. is this due to the atty wearing out? im almost ready to toss em and order some more

You might try giving them a good cleaning. There are dozens of methods on how to clean them in the forums. Some swear by soaking in alcohol, vodka, or just water. Others have tried ultrasonic cleaners, efferdent, or my recent favorite: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/132042-awsome-atty-cleaning-method.html.

I've in the past used a bent paperclip to scrape the residue off the atty coil before cleaning. With one that had a hard draw and wasn't performing very well, this was the only thing that helped. I scraped it carefully to clean it off, then used the bottle flush method, dried it good, and it was just like new.

Hope this helps.

I've been having the same issues with my atty's. I looked at the two holes on the bottom of the atty and noticed they were blocked by some kind of rubber type of material. I don't get it.

Same here with one of my attys with a hard draw. There's white rubber blocking 50% of the 2 air vents on the atty thread. I don't know if something falls down inside there over time? Or from heat?
