Sounds like this atty probably has a date coming up soon with a land fill. When cleaning doesn't work, then you can try to blast it with a bunch of quick puffs where you just blow out the vapor, if that doesn't work well you could play around with the wick I guess but it's probably toast. Some atties just are duds, I've got one that has over two months of use and still going strong, another one lasted a couple days and became so clogged up that nothing would help it, wouldn't even dry burn right, had to toss it. So it's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll get, and the quality of atties does seem to differ a lot.
