So I recently bought a KGo and it has been working great for me for the past week. It's came with what I think at ce4 clearomizers. The problem that arose is that after cleaning my tank and going to use it again is it is now harder to suck out of and takes a lot more effort. Almost as if something is blocking this air holes. Any ideas on what it could be? Thanks, end0.

how did you clean it? did you use water? if you used water, was it hot? did you dry it off before you refilled the juice? how long has that CE been your primary? is there any gunk buildup in the vented portion of the threading/positive post?

I cleaned it by unscrewing mouth piece, took the little silicon cap and metal cap out then rinsed everything off/out till wicks were white. Yes I used hot water. Dried it off blew out breather tube. Been primary since I got it about week and half ago. I get vapor no connection issue and how would I tell if gunk is there/clean it out? It was fine before I cleaned it and this isn't the first time rinsing it out.

To get the gunk out, you will have to do a dry burn (with the silicone cap off). It's a bit trickier with the Stardusts that are not rebuildable because you can't pull the tank to get it out of the way. Make sure you get the rebuildable version when you replace it ($4.99 from HoosierECigs and others). I did a dissertation on how to clean a ViVi Nova a while back and it pretty much mirrors what I do to clean the rebuildable Stardust. Some will not apply to the non-rebuildable but the dry burn part will.

I do a dry burn with silicon off every time I clean it before I refill it.

WEllI fixed it. I took it off and stuck a sewing needle up through the bottom till i hit something(not hard either) and it's back to normal. I may have pushed the wick/coil down on the hole when cleaning, if that's possible.

Sounds like you just had some gunk build up down your center post. Glad it's working now.
