I hope that you're getting it worked out Rain....and that you can some vapor today.
Rain...it sounds like they still have water in them from cleaning...if they are getting hot but no vapor after cleaning.....blowing the e-liquid through (or plain vg) helps get out the rest of the water (actually add itself to it making it somewhat vapeable)...and then vapor production will get better.
Just because no more water blows out after you wash them does not mean they are free of water inside.
