UFS problems

[wigglr]

I just got the UFS this last week. From my experience with the AVS, it seems that it hasn't been feeding properly. I have had the juice control completely open, the airholes on the atty are lined up correctly, and the air control right almost completely closed, and it still doesn't seem to feed properly. I don't get much juice into the atomizer... and the draw is very airy.

I thought I would throw it out here to the GG family because I am at a loss of what to do. It doesn't seem to be hitting nearly as hard as my AVS

Are there any suggestions/troubleshooting techniques I can do?

What king of juice are you using? Pg, VG, a blend?

 

[wigglr]

Tx for reminding me -- I'm using Original Bounty Hunter (which is what? roughly 70% PG or something)

And when I draw, I just feel air and no juice flow.

Not sure if you checked this or not but are the air holes on your atty exposed when you screw it down all the way? I had two atty's that didn't line up in the gaps in the crenelations so they weren't getting any juice.

Another member's air holes were blocked, make sure the holes for the air control and the ones at the base are all clear.....

Tx danks -- The airholes are lined up correctly. That was my first guess as to what was wrong, but it's no the problem!

I'm getting a very, very airy draw. Wouldn't this mean that the airholes are all fine? (I could be very, very wrong haha)

Have you taken apart your UFS? It's possible the air control ring was installed upside down. The o-ring should be facing down on the ACR.

Have you tried another atty wiggle? some atty's are really airy and the UFS is only as good as the atty you have in there

completely close the air control ring and you shouldn't be able to draw at all, if you can then you haven't got 100% vacuum and something isn't tightened down or creating a seal

 

[wigglr]

When I close the air -- I can't draw, so it is sealed correctly.

And I believe my o-ring on the air control ring is correct.

This is the same type of atty that I've been using for months with the AVS, so I was expecting a similar hit and taste, but I'm getting more airy draw, less flavor and less juice in the atty.

 

[blackwater]

Yes, Air ring completely closed should have no draw. Otherwise something is wrong.

 

[womblebat]

I would still try another atty, China isn't known for it's quality control and atty's (even a brand your used too) can vary wildly

Wigglr,

Take the atty out of the UFS.
Put your finger on the very end of it covering up the hole on the bottom.
Try and take a draw on it. If the draw is extremely tight then the wholes on the side of the threads are clogged or blocked.


Note: Juice control fully open means the tank is turned fully clockwise

Last few days I've been having the opposite, juice just flooding constantly... tried three cartos (DC) and even switched to my brand new UFS and same issue... very odd, hard to believe 3 carto's are bad (from 2 different batches)... the one in the UFS on my stealth is working fine.

Only time I've had the airy draw it was fixed when I took it all apart, re-cleaned it, re-lubed it and reassembled it... after that magically fixed.

 

[wigglr]

Didn't seem out of hte ordinary. I consulted other atomizers in comparison and it didn't seem tight.

And yes, juice control was fully open -- turned in the correct direction.

Maybe we can mix and match and get the right draw

I am thinking of putting away my UFS and going back to my AVS

If you use AVS with 510 connector and it works then it will work in UFS too. Also having the liquid control makes UFS much more efficient buddy.

 

[wigglr]

of course, imeo, the ufs is the greater device... but i'm just having issues with feeding (minimal amount is entering atty)

my avs v2 connector doesn't fit in my UFS (I might have misinterpreted you but i thought that is what you were saying)

anyways, i'm pretty clueless as to what to do now

 

[imeothanasis]

dont screw hard the upper small cap. Stop when it meets the o-ring and try again. And totally open air and liquid wig.
