Thinking my atty died...help

[dzlady]

I am fairly new to vaping, so this would be a first for me and I just want to make sure before I toss it. I was vaping away, using my pt. I topped off the cart and went to vape again, NOTHING! So I took the atty out and put it in a batt, vape, NOTHING! I switched atty's and it works.

The thing is, I didnt notice reduction of flavor or vapor. Its like it worked and then, bam, it stopped. Just wanting to make sure. And this atty is only maybe a week old but its not used continuously. I have a separate atty for each flavor and rotate daily.

Thanks In Advance,
Teresa

If you went from vapor to nothing, something is keeping the coil from heating up. This is likely due to a broken circuit somewhere in the atomizer. It may be as simple as a poor battery to atomizer connection, or a popped coil, or a broken internal wire. It can also be caused by a grossly flooded atomizer.

Try blowing out the atomizer. Get as much liquid out of it as you can, then retry it.

The battery to atomizer connection is sometimes "broken" by the center electrode of the atomizer being pushed too far in. The rubber insulator allows this to happen, and it can happen over time such that it appears to be a sudden failure. If you can bend a very short hook into the end of a paperclip, that can be used to *gently* pull the center electrode out a little way, which may fix the problem.

Other faults are not generally nor easily fixed.

It could be that the atty just got flooded. Blow it out and see if that helps.

Well, it itsnt flooded, sorry should have mentioned that. I blew it out and nothing came out before I even posted to the forum. I'll just put it away and try it again later and see if it works, after I try the recommendation by sjohnson.

Thank you for your input.

This thread should be sticky'ed somewhere....Atty's get clogged quite often. Check this thread.
