Pen Style atty HUGE drop in vapor for a while after dripping!

[BrickStove]

Hey everyone, I have some Joye302 (pen style) attys running on the PS Protege at 3.7 as well as the PT for 5v.

Ive gone over to dripping when I realized I got way more vapor without carts, plus it's easier. But ive noticed that every single time I drip, the thing wont put out hardly any vapor at all (basically not working) for about 5-6 long drags worth. Then, the vapor increases greatly for about 5-6 more long drags, until i get the slight burnt taste telling me to drip again.

Does anyone know of this issue, or why this is happening? Ive tried dripping smaller number of drops, between 1 and 7 or 8 drops because i thought i was flooding the atty or something. The more i drip the longer it takes to get it working again. Im certainly not discounting user error.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Any help, advice, or knowledge would be very much appreciated!

Sounds like you are flooding the atty to me.

Hey Brick ... That it does .... 3.7v/4.2v can't handle as many drops as 5v+ can ...

On 3.7v ... I wouldn't drip more than 2 each time. On 5v (considering the Pen is all I use) I put in 3-4 at a time.

Essentially, you get no vapor because the atomizer is trying to heat up such a substantial amount. Lower that amount, and it should heat up faster

Also -- Blowing out your atomizers a few times a day, then refilling also helps

Awesome! Thanks guys. I need to start with a clean atty and try only 2 drops. I must be on a flooding cycle. I read on here where someone posted that they dripped 7 drops at a time on an 801. Guess Ill do more research next time. Maybe they were using a HV mod.

Steve, the Prodigy is amazing by the way! It really performs so much better than I imagined such a small device could!

(never received that replacement 801 atty though, sent you a PM)

Update: the same thing happens no matter how many drops. I tried out as little as 1 single drop. It takes less time to get it working again with only one drop, but still about 4-5 big draws until it starts producing vapor. Strangely enough, I actually get somewhat of a throat hit and flavor with those first vaporless draws. The worst part is, whenever it does start producing, it only gives about 2 hits before I get the burnt taste.

Any ideas?
