Now what's wrong with my atty???

[erinmc]

Both my atty's are acting weird. I have cleaned them and I still cant get a good 'drag' off of them. It tastes burnt and hurts my throat. Could it have something to do with my batteries. I know this doesn't make sense but I think my batteries may be dying (but why would I get a burnt taste) Any reasons for this that I cant think of??? (BTW...I have an Ego)
thanks

Oh yeah, and I haven't gotten much vapor in a couple of days??

Are you using a cart or dripping? If a cart, how long have you been using the same cart stuffing?

And how did you clean and dry your attys?

 

[erinmc]

I am dripping. I cleaned them with boiling water and then dried them with a blow dryer. I also tried using alchohol to clean them.

how many drops are you putting in after cleaning? A freshly cleaned or blown out atty will often take 6-8 drops to "prime" before it starts working good and needing the normal 2-3 drop topoffs.

 

[erinmc]

Yep tried all that. Still not working very well.

You may have just "burnt" them too. It happens every now and then, ran them a little dry and the wick that runs through the coil gets burnt, and no matter what you do, it will always be nasty. I did it myself yesterday(first time in 7 months) playing with a new mod.

The drippers are going to jump on me here, but I hate attys. I just buy cartos in bulk and the second they start to taste funny I chuck them and start fresh. For people that don't mind maintenance, drip on, for the rest of us it's just too much to cook/clean/prime attys. The way I see it is when I smoked, it was really freakin easy to buy a pack, light it, and then throw it away. No matter how or what you vape, it's more work, so when I can trim steps off the process I totally do. Hell, once they perfect those map tanks at COV I'll be getting one of those so I don't even have to refill as often, lol.

Hello, my name is smokum.... and I'm a dripper, lol

I don't "wash" atty's at all and I'm a heavy to pure VG base user...... I simply blow them out and clean my connections at night, re-prime in the morning, then its business as usual. Aside from the odd defunc atty, all mine last for months, and frankly, if they last more than a week I'm really happy considering the cost comparison to smoking.
