I just bought this atty about 2-3 weeks ago. I haven't used it with any devices over 3.7 and mostly with my 3.1 joye 510. Last night I was vaping and all of the sudden POOF! I felt a gush of hot air and smoke go in my mouth. I wasn't aware that these exploded like this. It never got too hot but I was using it with the wick and bridge removed. Anyone know why this happened?

I don't know why your atty blew up, but it's a pretty safe bet that when you pried the bridge off you damaged/weakened the coil underneath it until it finally melted.

This removing the bridge of atomizers is a bad idea, especially when using a drip tip. Unfortunately, it's just a matter of time until somebody inhales a hot piece of metal.

Hmmm... Pretty sure I didnt damage the coil when I removed the bridge and the coil "melting" (which I dont think is possible) wouldn't cause this to exploded. It was something in the wiring.
