weird atty problem

[kodykills]

So ive got a couple newish 510 attys. After about 3 days they started hitting GREAT. Then they dwindled down some. I did Highpings cleaning method, and they seem to work better. My problem is when i take a drag it feels as if im getting mostly air not vapor. Its like sucking on a pipe that has a carb, and not pluging the carb.. if ya know what i mean anyone else experience this? im using a 3.7volt nicostick by the way

try dripping a drop or two on the atty..and then taking a hit..if it's good vapor then it's probably a cartridge stuffing issue..it's not wicking properly. Also make sure that the orientation of your cartridge is lined up correctly with the atomizer bridge/ceramic cup. (if you notice..the tip of your cartridge that goes into the atomizer is a rectangle..now look inside the atomizer..and you'll notice the ceramic(white piece) is also a rectangle. Orient the cartridge tip so that it lines up with the cup.) This will help it wick better...but it sounds like you need to add more juice to your cartridge stuffing or maybe try one of the cartridge mods in the Modders Forum. There are dozens to experiment with.

sorry i forgot to add i only drip its really strange. That coil will be bright red, but the vapor production is just worthless... i really wish joye would come up with somthing a little more reliable.

Maybe it`s getting to much air like you say. When building a mod I use lead free solder when soldering the center pin in the atty/battery connector sealing it off. Mine has always worked fine and this stops any possible fluid from getting back into the battery area. the vent slots on the atomizer and atty/connector provide plenty of air flow.

Hi,
If your coil is getting red hot and ur not getting vapor, you are running ur atty dry..
The atty's coil, if wet enough, shouldn't be 'red hot' as you say. You will get vapor and the atty you can hear crackling, but it shouldn't be turning red, that means it is dry or not getting enough liquid. Check how thick you filler is..
You may have to 'thin' out the filler a bit to allow the liquid to flow proper..

There is a insulator in the atomizer sometimes you can get your atomizer so hot it will melt and restrict the air flow.I have seen this many times on LR atomizers.Not sure what voltage your running.

I think stubear nail it.
If there's tyoo much air, you're getting it from the vento holes (side) AND from the bottom. If you notice, when you flood an atty, liquid drains from the bottom hole but if you use the right amount of liquid, it takes a long time for it to drain... same as when you turn upside down a bottle of juice, the liquid takes time to leak. So try adding one more drop of what you're doing right now.
Perhaps you're using LR attys?

Are you using a new e-liquid ?

It may be the liquid. Some produce lots of vapor while I have tried some that produce almost no vapor at all.

Try adding some pure glycerin from CVS/Wallmart etc to your juice

Ive had this same problem but with cartomizers. I can hear em popping and i get some vapor but not much at all. And yes they have plenty of juice i them.
