WEAK vape

[yoitzo]

So i've had my 510 for a few weeks now and i've noticed yesterday that my vape is WEAK. I remember when i first got it, the vape was WHITE now its kinda transparent and blah. I tried putting my cart on my husband's battery and atomizer and i get the pure white vape like i used to. i tried fresh batteries and still getting the weak vape. Any suggestions?

maybe time to get a mod...

Hey yoitzo
The atomizers don't last forever, they all fade away just as you describe. Sometimes in a week, sometimes a month, but regardless the model atty, they will fade away.

I usually get 3 weeks from a 510 sometimes 4, but yeah, drop in performance at 2 weeks is about par. The sad side to vaping, saying goodbye to a trusted atty...

i thought that might be it so i put a fresh atty but it's still kinda weak. BAH...

Well darn! Fresh atty, give it a few hours, get the prime out and your juice of choice full into it, it oughtta pick up.

Try the new atty on your husbands battery? Also might want to clean the threads on the batteries.

Might need to blow out the atty or cleanit? I use hot water and soak my attys in polident All my attys from Aug 09 still live and produce

I was just thinking about this today. It looks like another atty is starting on it's downward spiral. I had three attys that were not produce very good. I gave one a boil cleaning in hydrogen peroxide, another one using mouth wash, and the last boiled in water.

All three attys still did not produce vapor as they did when were new. Like you say, the vapor is kinda blaa. I do not get any throat hit from them (without a super long draw).

I am still not sure why this happens. The HP boil made the atty and coil look brand new (no corrosion). I guess it's possible the coil losses mass, or the actual wiring becomes corroded and does not allow enough voltage to run through.

I keep all my attys for the day someone comes up with a step by step guide on rebuilding them.

well the new atty's broken in and producing GREAT vape, i guess it's time to attempt cleaning the old one and see if anything works. Meanwhile, i'll order a crap load of attys so i don't run out. >_<

Good to hear yoitzo!
Check out Puresmoker. They have bulk pricing available, 25 or more are $5 each. That's the best price I'm aware of at the moment.
