Strange 901 atomizer

[spyderuk]

Ok when my 901 arrived saturday I fired up the spare atomizer to check it was working which it was.

My Janty banana arrived this morning so I thought I would have a drip into the spare atomizer as the one in service was full of strawberry juice. OK so 3 drops in and off we go, vapor on prime, next to nothing on draw. Tried this 1 or 2 more times atomizer heating up! A few more drops of juice? Righty ho and exactly the same. I had to rest it from time to time as it was heating up a bit more than normal. Tried to vape my way through it but it just doesn't seem to like dripping?

The atomizer works well on cart, good vapor, nice hit but for some reason it doesn't like to be dripped? I dripped the Janty into atomizer I run with daily without any issues.

Is this normal to have an atomizer that refuses to atomize when dripped?

Strawberry and banana together is better than it sounds

You might have flooded it, I use two drops at a time and find that works well. Maybe if you drain it, drysmoke a bit and then try a couple of drops it might work better.

 

[spyderuk]

Ah Kate. Your always there when needed.

Would the att heat up, a little warmer than normal vaping temp if it was flooded? I have just blown it out gently from the batttery connection end with no juice released. I'm vaping now with a cart I squished the juice from and reasembled with 5/6 drops of banana. Vaping great from cart. Taste not quite there as yet.

It appears as though the juice is getting vaped really quickly when dripped. This is one weird atomizer.

48 hours into the original atomizer and the thing is vaping really nice now. Maybe this spare just needs a bit more vaping and priming.

I think you might be right that it just needs breaking in, they're fussy little things like that.

It can take a while for flavours to work their way from cartridge to heating element so give it a bit of time.

I don't really have any ideas about the heating business except that it might be a more efficient atomiser than you are used to. Once you get used to it you'll probably like that about it.

 

[spyderuk]

More efficient? You mean a juice guzzler? I've had to top off cart and dripped 1 drop to help it out. It is drinking the juice.

I will keep vaping whilst watchin "what happens in vegas" and report back with my findings.

Ok site was down, maybe the server move.

I have found this one atomizer simply refuses to drip smoke with any consistency so far. It vapes great from cart so I'm still kinda puzzled.

 

[Kate]

Sorry Spyder, I'm out of ideas but someone else might chip in with something.

Simple answer would be to vape from a cart with this particular atomiser, seeing as it works.

Could be something to do with the juice too. Try a drop or two of your other juice in it, see if it vapes any differently.

weird. keep us posted.

Ok, I'm having similar issues with a platinum atomizer and I think Kate hit the nail on the head 1st time around with flooding although it still vapes from cart.

Maybe it would be better for me to prime new atomizers with cart b4 dripping them.

Also I find the Janty doesn't give so much vaper as e-cig.co.uk juice or maybe that is me too.

 

[Kate]

Dripping is kind of advanced technique, I usually suggest that people get used to their device and it's foibles before dripping. It's easy to flood or dry out your atomiser. Flooding reduces performance and can leak into batteries and wreck them. Drying is not good for the coil and wick apparently and can reduce atomiser life.

I think you were asking on another thread about storage of atomisers when they are wet (it might not have been you, if so ignore this ). Once new atomisers have been tested, if you want to store them I don't think you need to dry them out or anything. In fact that might be a bad thing to do, they come from the factory with a primer so they must need to be kept wet.

 

[spyderuk]

Ah there you are.

The thing I couldn't understand was how my original atomizer dripped great with e-cig strawberry then my Yanti banana came so I thought I would try it in the spare. I almost convinced myself it was the liquid at 1 point.

Ah well, as many have said, they can be tempremental little buggers.
