Try this. Take off atty and blow it out in a napkin until it's completely dry.

Wipe off the contacts on both the atty and the pv

Drip about 3 or 4 drops right on the atty, letting each one soak in before adding another.

hold the button down for a sec and let it get hot(if you see it glowing red it's still to dry add another drop or two)


See if this gets you anywhere.

Edit:remember that all atty's are not created equally. It might be a dud. But don't give up on it yet.

It can take an atty anywhere from an hour to half a day to start producing good vapor. It's just got to break in.

There are also different resistance ratings for them. There's LR's, standard's, and HV types. If you have one that's in the 3.0 ohm or higher range it won't produce vapor very well on a standard battery because it's designed for higher voltages. You need a volt/ohm meter or multimeter to check it though. If you have a spare atty try that one. Sometimes suppliers will put an LR and a standard in their kits.

There's always the possibility that it's just bad too. If that's the case just contact your supplier about a replacement.

Ohhh, those videos! Highly practiced individuals drawing in insane amounts of vapor and blowing it directly into the camera while a light is shining on it. Shame on them.

There shouldn't be an issue with the battery, but I have less than favorable results from my TW atomizers. I don't know why. Flavor is great, but somehow the vapor doesn't come out. One of them even quickly cycles on and off while pushing the button.

I have other attys from different suppliers and have no complaints yet. I'd just suggest that you pick some more attys up soon, but I'm no veteran, so I'll let others offer more info. I can just attest to the fact that you may have some atty issues in your current experience.

I've gone through some different places over the last year looking for a great atty. My choice as of now is a Puresmoker LR. Now for some freakin reason, the black ones don't work so well on my kaji. They leak all over the place. But the stainless ones are heaven on this thing. Idk why. All them work fine for dripping. Maybe it's just the way they seal up to the unit. They are a bit more expensive than where I used to get them, but I think it's worth it.

Esmokey treats is where I shopped for a long time. I think their atty's were 7.99

PureSmoker.com - USA Electronic Cigarettes & USA Made eLiquid!!! is worth checking out. Their lr's are 9.99, but I've only been disappointed with them a couple of times. Atty's are tricky little sob's. Some are worth their weight in gold as far as performance goes. Others aren't worth the bubble wrap they ship in.
