New atomiser passing too much air

[spark001uk]

Hi
Got my RN4081 about 3 months ago, i was quite a light smoker so i only get through about 5ml/month vaping. Likewise the supplied atty has worked for 3 months, and still going!
Anyway, i thought i'd freshen it up and put a new atty in. Except with the new one, all the airflow comes through the two side holes, and, by the laws of air following the path of least resistance, there's not enough draw through the battery to activate it. Any ideas? Or do i just have to wait until the side holes get gunged up a bit?

But I'd get the feel on an old atty first.

what i wanted to know was, how to stop too much air from coming thru the side holes on a new atty, or is it just a case of waiting for it to get like a slight coating inside over time?

Could be your tip allowing air to pass...
If this happens you are sucking air in from the outside and not through your atty.
Try change tips.

no its definitely the side holes in the atty, cos if i cover them up then i get a decent draw out of it. those side holes are just letting too much air pass.

What's causing it then, is it just that the side holes are 'too' clean?

Or your atty is flooded and no air is coming in from the auto batt hole.

Try blowing it out a bit and letting sit mouth side down over night.

May also be a bad auto batt membrane switch that's got juice in it and is now sticky so not moving to on position as easily. You can test that by just drawing on the batt but don't touch lips/togue to the contacts
