OMG Suckinging my lips off here

[milamber]

I have a dse801 penstyle.

I usually dont suck that hard, and take small pulsating drags to get a nice hit and good vapor. I have had this thing for one month.

Now it seems like im sucking a golf ball through a coffee straw!

I blew out the atomizer. Nothing.

Anything else I can try? Is it the filler thats making it hard to draw? I just put in a new cart...

no not the filler, it is in a seprate removeble part of the cart. try the dse801 without any cart, is still hard draw? if no, pull the tank out of the cart, and check mouth piece for air flow, i have had to use a paper clip to remove loose filler material from air way path.

What he said.

Plus if the air channels along the sides of the cart and the hole on the end of the mouthpiece is clear, then check the air intakes on the side of the atomizer by the threads.

Cover the bottom hole of the atty (thread side) and blow into the cart end of the atty - this forces air through the intakes on the side. Blow and suck to dislodge anything that might be in the way. If that doesn't do it, I would put the atty in 151 clear vodka for an hour and then blow it out again - same way. Blow dry before using.

But you might want to check other atty cleaning threads - I'm just saying what I would do, not what you should do. There are many ways that have been given to clean attys - some of the kill attys, some of them were used only in attempts to revive dead attys - ie. drastic meansures that may harm good attys.

Good deal. That worked pretty good. I might give it a polident bath too, but dont know if I should in case it ruins the atomizer.

yeah, its too easy here to get so much info, i try to start with the first easyst one, and know that the next best step will come out. and with few exceptions, nothing is wrong.
mostly what works for you, i mean these things are not like a toaster, and even toasters have a learning curve...and i have this toaster, like 3 years now and had a poptart slip past the bottom holder and get stuck this week, come on, in 3 years that has never occured and so it is with e-cig. everyday there is something new about exsiting, about new equipment.

Well I put two polident tabs in some water, blew out the atty again, and put it in the denture bath.

Works better now, except it does taste like polident! Thats ok, I am sure that the taste will go away soon, and I vape menthol anyhow.
