Atomizers Loosing Their Oomph.

[bawbzor]

I've had a ego 510 for about 2 months and I direct drip with 510 low resistance atomizers. Something I've noticed is that after the first few days of using a fresh atty I lose nearly all of the throat hit & flavor. After I add some fresh drops I will get some flavor for the first hit or two but after that it's just like smoking air. I get a good amount of vapor but it's not really satisfying at all.

I'm wondering if maybe this is caused by buildup inside the atomizer? I usually try and blow out any excess fluid each night before I go to bed but it almost feels like maybe it's clogged up or something. I was thinking about trying to soak a couple of them in vodka or diet pepsi to see if maybe that helps. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Try an alcohol soak, it couldn't hurt.

I found a tip....somewhere on the forum, of soaking the atty's in vinegar, tried that followed with a hot water rinse and worked wonders for me.

I tried alcohol soak and it worked fine.
