Very Little Vapor??

[ghostz]

I have a new 901 that tasted like crap..LOL So I learned that I could clean it by boiling it for 30 seconds..

I then tried a Lorann Flavor/Glycerin 50/50.. Could not get any vapor?
So I tried a new cart I had and now I get very little vapor....
I even tried dripping on atomizer.. No LUck..

It lights up and will blink (feels warm)
I am now charging my battery in case that is it?

Any Suggestions?

When I received my 901, it hardly produced vapor either. I bought a bottle of glycerin and added 1-2 drops to the cartridge, and now it has tons of vapor. I believe that PG will do the same, but I haven't tried that.

BTW, I bought my VG (glycerin) at Michael's craft/hobby store in the baking section. It's cheap - like 2 bucks and at a drop or two every several days (I don't vape very often), this little bottle will last me quite some time.

Hope that helps! Don't give up - it takes a little toying around with to get used to how to 'smoke' the thing!

p.s. did you charge your battery for the full 8 hours? If not, that may be why it is blinking...

Yes I charged my battery for 12 hours.... but that was 3 days ago.. It only blinks when I draw for too long....

I did try pg glycerin drops also.. That didn't seem to work...

I guess I will just keep toying with it....

But thanks for your help!

Did you let it dry really well after you boiled it?
Water in the top part of the atomizer can really cut down on vapor production.
Try setting the atomizer upright (battery hole up, cart side down) overnight on a paper towel.

What color is your LED? Mine is blue but blinks orange when the battery doesn't have enough charge to heat the coil. Thinking maybe the battery is not charged or bad.

My Led is orange.. I am drying it out over night and will see what happens.....

First, your atomizer may be defective. If so, try to get a warranty replacement if that is possible. Atomizers are seriously unreliable, yet the backbone of the e-cig.

Second, you only have five posts. If you, by chance, have been fiddling with concotions you are putting into the atomizer beyond the basic e-juice available from our many
suppliers, you may have clogged or killed your atomizer unknowingly.

I may be reading this wrong, but did you say you charged your battery 3 days ago and haven't done so since? If so, it's definitely the battery-- and you've gotten a hold of a fantastic one!

You may have flooded your atomizer. Blow through the hole in the end that connects to the battery -- do it over the sink or into a paper towel to catch the mess.

Finally, my 901 atomizer took almost a week to "break in". It used to be kind of wimpy, but now it's a fog machine worthy of a rock concert, so be patient.

Good Luck!

The only thing I have used aside from the prefilled cartridge is Lorann Flavor/Glycerin 50/50..

How would I know if I killed it? Would it still get hot?
How does it get clogged?

Thanks

When did you last charge your battery?

 

[ghostz]

The first time I charged my batteries was March 28th... The day I got it... Then I tried it a few times (maybe about 10 times) and it tasted so bad..... So I kept trying it the next few days (about 10 more times).
Then yesterday I cleaned it.. tried it a few more times and no vapor.
So I tried the other battery (Charged on March 28th but never used)
So I am charging my battery now..

I thought the battery was supposed to flash (alot longer than the draw cut off) if it needed to be charged..

If you only have one atomizer, troubleshooting becomes difficult. First, remove your atomizer and mouthpiece, turn the atomizer upside down on a paper towel and let it set overnight. If the atomizer is flooded, this will use gravity to clear it out. Put you battery on a charge overnight (if you are not doing so already). In the morning, put two drops of e-liquid down the barrel of the atomizer and insert a fresh cartridge. Put on the freshly charged battery. Try vaping. If you get no to little vapor, I would suspect an atomizer problem.

I do have the atomizer on a paper towel and I am charging the battery..
So I will try it tomorrow.

I bought 2 - 901s... One for my sister and one for me... Hers seems to be working fine..

I got them at ecigsupply.com Super Fast Shipping!
Anyway I contacted them to ask about the warranty or return policy and they e mailed me back right away..

They are sending me a new atomizer... That is great service! I am so glad I ordered from there....
