Been using ecig in various forms after smoking coffin nails for about 50 years, for about 3 years now.
Started with cig a likes, moved on to pen type then moved onto box mods.
Used all sort of tanks ohm and sub-ohm until buying a True MTL tank and liking it so much more that sub-ohm that decided to buy three more.
One of these was the GeekVape Ammitt MTL which despite assurance of being genuine turned out to be a GB clone. Despite this (and having eventually getting it free) I have loved this tank for about 6 months.
Put a new coil in this week and reassembled it only to find I have no air flow. Stripped the tank and cannot find any blockage so started to look for articles on the subject and came across your forum.
Have read that some members have hit the tunnel with a hammer, before I end up doing any more damage can anyone please expand on their method.

Welcome aboard - sorry I can't help with your query as I don't know that device, but I'm sure you get an answer soon.

Hope you enjoy your time here - from another 50 year former smoker!

Hello @Jim A, I haven't heard of this issue before with the Ammit MTL. The Zeus X though I've heard had an issue with leaking on some batches, that required the hammer fix and a bit of gentle persuasion.

I assume that the airflow adjustment at the top of the tank is open? Sorry for asking, have to be sure.

If that's okay, unscrew the screw that makes up the centre of the 510 pin and remove the centre of the build deck and give everything a good clean. Use some wire to clean the airflow channels and give it a good scrub with a toothbrush and toothpaste.

If you've got access to a Ultrasonic cleaner, you could put it in there for an hour otherwise.

Hopefully these ideas may sort it.

Thanks for reply, done all the things you suggest apart from the ultra sonic which unfortunately I do not have. Even tried leaving the air flow ring off so completely open.

Hello and welcome.

Welcome to the friendly bunch

I have the Ammit RDA but I assume that you're talking about the Ammit RTA version. Only advice I can give is to take it all apart (and I mean all) and then put it back together after a clean so that you know that everything is aligning as it should.

Sorry I can't help more just not an RTA expert

 

[Jim A]

Thanks for answering.
With some trepidation I took the advice of a member a hit it with a hammer!
Put the filler cap on turned it over and tapped the chimney twice with my nylon hammer, hay it works fine now. Only thing wrong now is that being Gearbest ' quality ' clone the engineering is not the best, I have to take the cap off to get a good grip to adjust the air flow.
Set it up with the new coil KA1 26g 8 wraps at 1.12 set at 17w and using a 60/40 diy mix of Flavour Hub Blueberry Fanta.
Peace has returned to my household.

Unfortunatly can't find the post with the original suggestion to say thank you.

@Jim A, if you're in the market for another good MTL RTA. Have a look at Exvape Expromizer V4, it's another top airflow option that @Shawn Hoefer has reviewed and rates pretty highly.

Had to grab myself a couple to look at, and can confirm they're a true MTL atomiser. As they have a very tight airflow, even more than the Ammit MTL. Also the build deck is a decent classic design, a little similar to the rather expensive Svoemestro Prime.

But glad to hear that you've got things working again, never heard of the hammer fix though with the Ammit MTL. You learn something new everyday.

Welcome and glad you joined.
MTL here too, glad you discovered the sub ohm difference.
Might like to read:
Efficiency. Thinner wire and higher resistance VS thick wire and lower resistance
