so cisco i guess you made it ok from the hurricane?

Yes, Thank you. Just getting back to normal operation. Power came back on last night, still running internet with a 4G adapter. All orders are up to date and shipped, still catching up on emails and support.

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble using it with the Mini now. I can't get it to flow up enough from the bottom in order to get the juice where it needs to be, and as a result it just leaks back out all over the place. I clean it every two days, but it seems to be getting worse. It didn't leak like this at first.

Have you tried doing a cold pull after feeding to bring the juice up to the coil? Does the draw feel tight when the atomier is not on the device? If you feel like its clogged or clogging I would try cleaning it everyday. I am realizing there are juices that are clogging these atomizers pretty quickly.

I think the issue is the ohmage is dropping. It's super burnt with a fresh battery, and I can only take very short puffs without burning the juice. After 30 minutes or so the battery drops to a manageable level and it's a nice vape.

I'm cleaning every 3 days on the dot, but might go for more. Coil looks clean, although it's developing a slight turquoise color - I assume the beginnings of carbon residue. Wick remains brown no matter how much I clean it.

Yes. This. I realize that the malty family from BWB clogs these up in a hurry. Maybe this is something that can be addressed in later models. I have to say, no other attys work like these. I would like to keep vaping thicker brews.

I clean daily (sometimes more) and they still cannot handle the thick ones the same way.

I've never vaped malty so I have no experience on it and I don't keep any Bwb juices, maybe we'll pick up a bottle and see if there's a quick fix for the issues your having. I normally vape bobas and 100% vg bounty hunter which work very well for me.

that would be great! I can send a small sample if you need it. I just know that juice specifically and another juice I use that has a small percentage of that in it seem to slow down how effective this atty is. As I said, it is the only one I want to use and it seems to create problems. I am surprised you can use 100% vg as that should be super thick and I would think it would cause the same issues.

My guess is that 100% VG juice would cause issues with line of sight

I do notice occasional drops offs in performance with my mod. I am sure it is mostly atty related.

I was curious what solutions you use when you notice this happen. I will sometimes unscrew the atty and do a dry pull. that sometimes helps. I was wondering if there are other "checks" that you guys do when this happens that I should try.

Can you take too many pulls in a single session? Do your attys have a hard time keeping up? Just was curious for your thoughts.

Perhaps try blowing out the atomizer.. from the battery end of course. In some juices that are some flavor components that don't vaporize as well as other components I've found personally. If you blow it out into a paper towel and rejuice see if that improves performance. If not... umm, yeah - wait for Cisco or Hanna to chime in. Good luck.

After much trepidation, I learned how to dry-burn. I tested my skills on a few other attys first, and decided to try it on the HH.357 to get some of the gunk off (I said a prayer to the vape gods beforehand). Anyway, now it's a beautiful silver coil again, and hits like brand new!

I know Hannah/Cisco doesn't seem to outright recommend dry-burning, and I'd have to suggest the same to anyone who hasn't done it before. But it's definitely an effective way to clean up a coil. I suggest practicing on some cheaper attys first.

How long do you do this for?
