New!bie with a atomizer question

[luv2v8pe]

Hi everyone! I have been vapping for about 6-8 weeks now and loving it! I started out using a cartomizer and love it but I bought a atomizer setup so that I could taste e-liquid and not have to fill up the cart. Is there a way to tell the difference between an atomizer that has been flooded or atomizer that stopped working. Mine was working but now I am getting nothing. I recharged the battery to make sure it was charged, still did not work. I am using a kr808d-1 battery with a 510 adapter and atomizer attached to it, if you need to know this. Thanks for any info!

If your getting absolutely nothing at all its probably dead. Usually if its flooded you would get some vapor, just wouldn't be as good as normal when its flooded. Plus you would hear the juice gurgle in the atty when you take a pull if it was flooded.

Are you using this on an automatic or manual battery?

Thanks, MattyT! I think it is a connection to the battery issue because it worked on another battery. Now to figure out the connection problem! lol

Sometimes the atty connection gets pushed up you might need to use a small screwdriver or paperclip to bring it back down. I had that problem using a 510/510 adapter when using my drip shield.

Does another atty or carto work on the 1st battery? Also have you tried replacing the atty/adapter on that battery? (I'm wondering if the battery itself hasn't gone wonky on ya.)

yep a dead giveaway for a flooding atomizer is gurgling. if that happens just blow it out, you don't really have to clean it out more than that if its just flooded. although if the atomizer continuously isn't up to par, than a cleaning might be in order, or a new atomizer.

Thanks, guys! Bushmasterar15 had the right answer. adjusted the connection and wah-lah it worked.

One tool that's a must have is the multimeter for testing/ measuring attys, cartos, batts, etc. Only buy the digital as the analog is usually not very accurate.
