I have 2 pen style generics which as new worked perfectly giving me a great smoke and hit but then degraded as the day went on.

So i clean them both in white vinegar' dry off and drip 2 drops on cart before inserting fresh cart, now they are ok again :)

But again after i cart they start to produce little vapour or bad taste!!

I sit me or the stupid atomizer?

wayyyyyyy to early to be cleaning. You shouldn't need to clean for atleast the first week or two. If you notice the smoke degrading, you need to check 1 of 2 things. 1) make sure the atomizer isn't burning hott and you are overworking the little booger. 2) Make sure the cartridge is topped off and ready to go.

Now, if you clean with vinegar, you smoke vinegar for a little while unless thoroughly rinsed, this could be your problem taste wise.

What are you dripping on the cartridges?

true , don;t even try to clean ur atomiser within one week or 2 week .


usually is the cart is too dry , atomiser is not wet with e liquid

about the degraded , I do encounter

I know ur feeling , first few days dam feeling good.
than slowly u noticed don;t know why the vapour is not thick.
draw is getting less.

there is many reasons especially on the atomiser side.This is the weakest part I feel.

I drip into the atomizer with 2 drops of jc after cleaning then insert cart but still both pen styles become harder and harder to draw on.

They dont seem to be drawing the liquid from the cart or storing it properly

Funny thing is that my sedansa turned up at 3-30 yesterday and i have learnt how an e-cig should be.

I now know its the product/liquid that is crap as the sedansa is still working this morning and my throat feels like i have been swallowing sand paper cos i was smoking it so much.

fresh batteries and keep the cart topped up.. as the batteries run down the heater coil dosnt get as hot and as the cart run down the fluid supply to the atomizer gets less..

it all pretty normal.. and pretty obvious when u think about it.. i top up my 901 carts often and direct drip my classic types..

there is a pattern here.. small carts like a super mini deliver the fluid okay till empty.. bigger (penstyle) carts dont do so well..

trog

ps.. and just because one sedansa works okay dosnt mean another one will.. its more a design issue than a product/fluid one.. then there is is the random chinese factor..

but if the heater coil gets hot enough and it has enough fluid getting to it lots of vapour will be produced..

Hi Ted:

Did you try blowing out the residue from the atomizer? Sometimes they get clogged and are drowning in e-liquid. You have to blow until no more oil comes out of the open end.

Also, make sure your contacts on the ends of each piece are clean and your threads are wiped clean as well.

Once you are done blowing out residue, attach the atomizer to the battery, an suck/drag without the tip until there is no more vapor. Then add your two drops directly to the atomizer and use a well-saturated cartridge to get yourself going again.

I have done all that marian but even when they fire up again its only for an hour or two before they start to do the same again.

Even when working they were no match for my sedansa so i would never use them again anway but thanks for any help.

I agree with you that Sedansa is Queen Bee. I've purchased many of the Divas for friends, family, and coworkers. Probably about 25 starter kits in all. And I've only had to return 3 atomizers. They were ruined fom screwing them onto the battery to tighly. But since Sedansa has a 5-year warranty, I have no problems in spending the kind of money they want from me.
