Try removing the cart and putting 2 or 3 or 4 drops of juice on the bridge....replace the cart...give it a little puff-puff and then see if you can vape a draw !

What atty ?





Edit...I am still here...

Even tho most atties have a fluid in them that you have to blow out, some arrive dry. I have found that putting extra juice in the atty it helps the "capillary" action to get things wicking good.....

I inspected the bridge and wick the best i could with a flashlight and tweezers and couldnt see any blockage or anything stuck in there. Havnt tried dry burning but i have blown out excess juice and that didnt seem to work. I tried dripping 3 drops and putting on a full cart too but once the drips vaped away still same problem :/

Load that Atty up on heavier duty rig and crank up the voltage to about 4.5 or so and throw a decent amount of juice in it and then vape away on it, if it doesn't work by then I can hear it hitting the back of the trash can and going doink doink, clunk clunk to the bottom of the can.!, but it very well may kick in if ya give it a shot like I said and kick up the volts a bit

The passthrough (pt) will offer a steady voltage as long as it is plugged in whereas the non pass will drop its voltage as it is used. If the pt is plugged into your computer I would advise against doing the dry burn with it. If you have a wall wart usb to use that would be better.
I have read were members messed up their computers using them with a pt and doing a dry burn while plugged in would seem to stress the computer.
These are only guesses for me as I never do dry burning or use passthroughs.
