WHat are the signs a tank atty is dying.

I have three tank attys, and I was in my car today, and was vaping one of them, I think I use this one more then the rest, and noticed a dramatic drop in vapor production. I VAPE between 7-10 ml a day, and have had this atty for two weeks now. I usually VAPE a relatively clear juice (desert ship, or that mixed with cool menthol, always 70/30), I just changed to one of the other attys and have 5 times the vapor coming out.
I blow them out every day, then prime through the battery end and blow that out, and I repeat till it blows out the same color as I put in. Never washed it with anything else. Thanks in advance y'all!

Well this is weird, I changed attys out, and this one is on another battery (I had it on my passthrough) and apparently it doesn't like the passthrough battery. It worked perfectly on the other battery! Weird.

I've found if, after cleaning and making sure the wick is in the right place, it still has a burnt taste, it's a goner.

Mine just stoped working no hint of lower vapor. I filled the tank and poof it didn't work any more

Just a data point... I have found that my atties.. especially my tank atties... are very sensitive to contaminants and "crud accumulations" on the center post of the atty and/or battery. The small amount of resistance that this "crud" can add to the circuit can have a dramatic effect on the delivered power.

Scotches, that just might be it! I clean my attys battery connection every day, but I leave the batteries alone. Knew I had been forgetting something in my ritual! Thanks again, that would explain the atty working great on another battery, and another atty working on that battery, I must have loosened something changing attys. Thanks y'all.

Holy crap!! That lasts me a week!!

When I quit smoking, I was smoking 3-5 packs a day, and there were far more days closer to 5 then there were closer to 3, so I VAPE quite ALOT. I figured out the amount of nicotine intake I had smoking, vs 10 ml @24mg, and I've actually reduced my nicotine intake by 64%. I figured the same thing out for my wife, she's vaping 36mg, 3ml a day, she was smoking less then a pack a day. Turns out she has upped her nic intake by 34%, it's amazing how this thing differs from one person to the other, and she is having a hard time...meaning she is craving analogs ALOT more then I am.
Sorry for rambling.
