I had two atties die this week. They were the two atties from my starter kit. It was probably their time, they had 4 good months. But I have a nagging suspicion that they died before their time. There are two suspects for these atty murders: a battery and pralines & cream juice.
The first atty I was using one battery in particular. I had thought that this particular atty has not making a good connection with a particular battery. I took a dot of nail polish and put it on the tip of the battery so I would know to not use the two together. The atty shortly died after I marked the battery. I was saddened by the first death but not surprised. I had been using pralines & cream double flavor with this atty. It is really dark juice and I was thinking that the juice was the culprit of this death.
I had two other atties sitting at my desk and did not want to open a new package, deal with cleaning out primer fluid at the time. I decided to see if I could clean out my cinnamon/mint atty a little bit. After blowing it out and running several drops of VG threw it I dripped the pralines and cream in and the other flavors disappeared after a couple of hits. All is well for now.
Fast forward a couple of days and another atty dies. I was probably getting some of the best hits I had ever had off of this atty and than all of a sudden it stops firing up. I look at the battery tip and guess what...there is a dot of fingernail polish on it. Also, it was the same juice.
I blow the atty out, run some water through it and try it on another battery to see if I can do a dry burn. Nothing, no sizzle this thing seems dead. I decide to wait a couple hours in case I did a horrible job at blowing out the water. But alas, the atty is dead.
For now I am using the pralines & cream in a cartomizer only and I am not using the battery with the dot of nail polish on it with an atty. Does anyone know of a way to rule out the battery as the murderer?
