Yeah we definately NEED better atomizers if this product is to take off liek it should. SmartFixx sent me two new atomizers a week ago, and they were much dufferent than the previous ones I got with my pourchase of hteir penstyle. They didn't have near the white in the top, and these new ones smoke quite badly, producing about 1/3 of the vapor of my previous ones when they were new. I'm quite dissappointed right now as these two new ones are the only ones I have left that work.
One point I want ot make to everyone is, only try these cleaning techniques on atomizers that aren't workign very well at all, and which you think might be on their way out- don't try them on ones that are workign well, as it could kill it altogehter as I';ve found out. aslso, I've foudn that once you start gettign a slight burnign taste, you can probably baby it along for a bit, but the burnign taste only gets worse and worse- better to just get a new atomizer- I'm wonderign if hte burining mioght not be bad for us- I think once the 'fiber' that hte atomizer wire is wrapped around starts to charr, it's pretty much over for hte atomizer.
