Got a new 510 atty today and find it very hard to drag on, it does require alot of sucking, I've only got one other 510 atty and I can't remember it being as hard to vape on. Is it dodgy? or does it take a while to break in or something?
It's not meant to come like that.

Did you overfill it? It could just need blow out as too much juice can block it or there was a lot of 'primer fluid' (ie machine oil) in there. If that's not it, I'd ask for a replacement if it's under warranty. A tight draw isn't something you'd expect from a brand new atomiser.

i have some ego-t attys that are like that, works fine when they are new but after a couple of days bang almost like the wick covers the holes or the air holes plug up, tried boiling, blowing and almost everthing but wont come clear, almost like a wet wick covers the hole or something

Have you tried dry burning it? Blow it out, rinse it out, then blow it out again. Next keep holding/pressing the button until you can see the wick itself in the piercing straw is glowing red. Hold that red glow for about 15 - 30 seconds and it should really clear it.

More often than not when my Ego-T atties were getting hard to draw on the wick was clogged with old juice. Dryburning helped clear it out.

If you are working with a good supplier I would ask for an exchange. I've only had one Joye 510 atty perform like that. I tried poking at it as suggested - and that did move something and the draw did improve after that. But that atty never was a great vaping experience and ultimately it had a short life span. Knowing what I know now, I would have asked for a replacement.

This is a normal 510 atomizer? What brand and ohms and what battery are you using it on? maybe you accidentally bought an HR atomizer.

And what is the PG/VG of your juice?

And hopefully you are using manual batteries? have you tried pressing the button in 1-2 seconds early so vapor is waiting when you start dragging?

If juice isn't wicking well an atomizer will be hard to drag.
