I got an atomizer like 2 weeks ago, and for some reason its just not producing vapor, barely any at all.. I can hear it sizzle when i activate it, but its just not producing... It gets REALLLY hot, but no vape, just a hot atomizer, and like a minuscule amount of vape... This SUCKS because im about ready to go smoke an analog right now..

Oh, Its a 510 atomizer, on a joye510 "stock"

I had this happen to one of mine....After about two weeks, it was getting warm but not producing much vapor. Soaked it in efferdent over night to clean it, and it is hitting like a champ today :D So maybe it just needs to be cleaned....I know there are people for and against cleaning, but I figured what the heck since it wasn't hitting good anyhow. Might be worth a shot

Try cleaning the threads and blowing through it, if that doesn't work try just running it under hot water and blowing it out, add a couple drops of juice and vape, should fix the problem:)

Tried running under water, letting it dry over night, and then adding 2 drops into the atty and it sill sucks...

blah..

I feel bad asking my supplier to send me a new one... Shes a really nice lady, the girl from widows bead works.. She litteraly meets me anywhere, when I need something so I dont have to drive down to her store...

I dont know if its just user error, or it was a bad atty to begin with...

DcMagic, whenever you wash an atomizer out, it will take more than 2 drops to reprime the wick. Before you give up on it, try adding 3 more drops, then wait about 30 seconds, fire it up and see if it improved.

I popped on a new atty and that one works fine, I guess ill have to just buy like 6 or 8 of them and keep them in backstock

Attys go bad, you need to keep a bunch of attys in stock. Sometimes they are bad from the factory and sometimes they just go bad with use. That's the e-cig atty way.

I think atties can be very temperamental for such a simple device. I think when the "Wick" goo's up it stops working as well. I have had some luck washing them in crest mouthwash but they never seem 100%

After 5 months of vaping, I have decided Im just going to buy a new atty every 2-3 weeks. If you get a couple 10ml bottles of juice and a fresh atty, its only about $20 every two or three weeks. Nothing vapes like a fresh atty!

Ok, now I'm having the same issue, and this atty is CLEAN! Yesterday night I put it to use after I ran HOT water through it, then let it soak in rubbing alcohol for a day, then ran HOT water through it once more then let dry for a day and it was already sucking the moment I put it on. Try a different juice maybe? I'm at work and the only juice I have is Orange lung juice from Nhaler. Which might I add are DELICIOUS lines of juice from them, haven't had a bad one yet! Anyway, the atty is definitely saturated in the juice, and it hits, but EXTREMELY softly. Its really fustrating. :(
