Pivotal decision making moment....DOA or needs breaking in??

[grimshiggy]

Ok, so I finally received my 510 kit in the mail last night and while one batt was charging, I used the other one for a little bit. Followed all the instructions on blowing out the atty, used a brand new cart, which I dripped just enough juice into(all VG), put a fe drops in the atty alson, lined up the cart to the bridge, etc, etc.....

Took that first vape and was like WTF???
Vapor was thin, almost next to nothing....proceeded to try a few more times...nothing. So, I waited until this morning, when the other batt was fully ready to go. Didn't change cart or atty, just batt. Took a drag and still the same thing.

I have read that some attys need breaking in, but at what point do you just consider it DOA??
Should I just report this to the company I bought it from, before it gets too late just to be on the safe side??

Your key words here might me "just enough juice", all i can think of is maybe not enough??? Did the kit come with a drip tip? if so try using it. Putting the cartridge in is really no big deal. And even if your atty needs to be broken in should still put out a great deal of vapor. Try this and post back


OPPS SORRY thought it was an ego don't know about the 510

Is there a gurgling sound coming from your atty when you take a hit? If there is, then you've flooded it and that will put the kibosh on vapor. Priming a regular 510 atty only take a couple of drops. Try blowing out the atty into a paper towel, reattach it and try again.

Make sure that when you take a hit, you're not sucking on the mouthpiece too hard. Vaping is a lot different from smoking, and the draw shouldn't be like sucking a thick milkshake through a straw.

try blowing out the liquid you already added, into a napkin (wipe threaded end clean, and blow through it), then try again. I have had this happen with new atomizers, after removing most of the primer, and juicing up, just not getting much of a hit. So I blow it clean and drip 2-3 more drops on the atomizer and then it worked just fine. Possible that I flooded it, or the juice did not soak in good enough?? not sure, but it seemed to help. Worth a try if all you are wasting is a few drops. If your coil is heating up, then it is not DOA, it has to be another problem.

I believe I may have heard a slight gurgle....won't hurt to blow out and try again. I switched over to my extra atty, without priming it (but blowing out the factory primer) and it works like a charm....

Thanks for the quick responses!
