bripod Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Ok Ladies and Gentlemen, An Atomizer is a simple coil... just like a light bulb... This thing is so simple that its... well, simple! Atomizer.bmp As you can see, the coil is connected to the center post and threads of the battery end... When you draw on the Ecig and activate the pressure switch, the battery energizes the circuit allowing the vapor to be produced... So, how could we tell if our circuit is broken? If we connect the leads from a continuity meter to the threads and to the center post we should be able to tell! And in fact we can... If your atomizer is good it will have continuity... No continuity and you have a broken circuit (or broken RED path) and therefore your atomizer is just a fond but painful memory of vaping days gone by... Tried a new and suspicious atomizer last night... the suspicious atomizer is no longer suspicious... it's on the block to be cut open... Hope this helps you determine if your atomizer is dead or not... PS. DO NOT TRY TO USE A LITTLE LIGHT BULB AND BATTERIES TO MAKE A TEST CIRCUIT! IF YOU EXCEED THE VOLTAGE FOR THE COIL-WIRE, YOU WILL END UP BURNING OUT YOUR ATOMIZER! EVEN IF IT WAS IN FACT GOOD... ONLY USE A TEST METER!
