Questions about draw on the 901

[laynies]

Of the 4 atomizers I have for my 901, 3 seem to have kind of an 'light' draw on them and tend to trail off on vapor after a while. 1 of them has a real satisfying harder draw on it with good vapor. I can increase the vapor on the 3 if I drip but again it tends to trail off.

So here's my question: Do I have 3 bad attys and should I send them back or should I just figure they are good for dripping only or what?

I've tried all 4 using the same battery and tried the 3 weak ones using other batteries as well. Since I'm pretty new at this I'm not sure what to do.

For what it's worth, some attys have a longer break-in period than others. For some, they vape great from the get-go, while others take a day or two to really get going. And then some never get going well.

Personally, I'd vape a full day with one of your light draw atomizers, making sure that the batting makes good contact with the metal bridge of the atomizer and that your batting is juicy (but no liquid pooling on top). At the end of the day, I'd blow out the atomizer and then the next day I'd prime with a couple of drops of liquid and try again. If it's still producing weak vapor, I personally would contact the vendor and see what they say.

Reasonable minds can differ on this, though.

yeah I just got my 901 3 days ago. It seems the juice is like syrup to me, and from my experience so far it seems to clog up the atty hole after a day of use. I have let them soak in hot water over night, and seems to disolve the buildup in the atty hole. The next day the easy draw is back to new, knock on wood. I had to trim some of the fuzz off the end of the wick, and that got rid of the burnt shoestring taste. Another poster said to poke a real thin wire into the atty hole to break up the build up helps, I haven't tried this yet but makes sense. Gratz on your 901 purchase!!

I'll give this a shot. Thanks Julie!!

Could i ask what kind of juice are you using? or do you mean the prefilled juice from the 901 carts? A juice that is clogging up your atomizer after one days use is no good imo.

try blowing into the atomizer hole

You can also hold your finger over the hole on the atomizer for a second as you inhale, then let up and continue to inhale. That tends to give you a little better hit.
