sidesho atty

[smokin_ws6]

i got my sidesho about a week ago and i love it. now one of my attys is not producing much vapor at all. if i blow on it to activate it i can see the coil get red. any ideas???

I had the same problem. I first used the one that does not work very good and was disappointed. Finally got the other attys and am very pleased. The bad atty has very little vapor. I tried many things and finally got the other one. Big improvement. So I have the same question.

you could have been over tightening them, you can take a paperclip inside the contact hole of the atty, and gently pull it out a bit.

I had one that I was about to scrap
Then I read somewhere about cleaning attys
(I wish I knew where, if anybody knows I would qoute it so they get credit)
Basically
1. put a shot glass of water in the microwave for 15-25 seconds
till it boils
2. Drop atty in, swirl around a bit
3. Let dry, I blew mine out then put it on paper towel for a few hours
4. vape like a champ
Kid you not, just like brand new, now she throughs vaper like its going out of style.

be careful with boiling water, it will clean out the atty, but it could mess up the paint.

Good to know!
I will look for something else to try if it is ever a problem again.
The paint did stay good though, but no point in pushing my luck

Tony was right,
I now have a gold atomizer (no paint)
Still works great, just naked
