Wow great post. I got my first one comming soon so i'm shure I will get to try this eventually. Dose anyone know if the same method applies to the M401 or Pilot?

Hi Kos .
Nope it doesn't apply,the m401/evo/pilot vaporizer is different inside ,there's a small plastic washer glued inside the steel tube about halfway along, and there's no mesh rings either (just a hollow mesh tube).

Regards

i have been without use of my ecigs for a few weeks now, due to dead atomizers.
i read the original post and still have no idea.
i look inside the atomizer (very hard to see down there) and see a small mesh ball (that seems very condensed, no layers or anything). i cant see where you would be manipulating any part of it. i even tried to poke a hole in it with a paper clip end, and there is no destructing it.
i have both mini and penstyle from puresmoker and am tired of dead atomizers.
i heard that intellicig has a better atomizer-i saw the pic on their website, and it looks like it lets more air to get to it.
any thoughts?
oh p.s. i cant even order another atomizer because puresmoker has been out of them for a while! argh!
i am tired of smoking analogs!

Jaaxx, you are a lifesaver!! I am new to ecigs and within three days I completely froze up my atomizer. Your little trick worked like a champ, although I will have to say, I went at this like a bull in a china shop. At first, I tried to be gentle and careful and the atomizer would not heat up, so I just started pokin around and viola, it works better than the first day (or at least it seems that way, it might seem that way because of the panic and I have no extra parts yet! LOL). Anyways, thank you, my new found friend!

I just tried to push into an 801, but the whole inside assembly pushed up, and I don't think the wires would be intact anymore, right? That one I'm sure is dead.

Kate51--not necessarly at all--there is play in there and you really can not hurt it with a pin on the 801--you certainly can not get to the coil with the pin at all as the ceramic pot that holds the atomizer you can not peirce with at pin.-----Sun

Only just discovered this thread and have read through it.

It makes sense that the tiny hole in question could get blocked.

If blocked by dried juice alone, a water rinse or simply more juice would remove it so I suspect that what is blocking it is small bits of hardened deposit, that are known to break off the coil at times.

I saw two interesting tips: using a strong point light might give an indication of whether there is a blockage (or misalignment); compare with a good atty. The second was to use a cotton bud stick at the other end, pointing to the side of the inner tube/assembly, to hold it still while using the needle from the other end.

I suggest a partial third idea: for the lengths of needle to insert for each atty type to be posted so that length of needle could be marked or gripped before insertion (if you see what I mean).

How does this thread keep getting buried?

This is genius.

As we're dry-burning and coke soaking, Jaxx was on to something a long time ago.

This totally works. It should be a sticky. Try it. It'll blow your mind, how well it works. My atty will never touch vodka again.

Thanks Jaxx. This is the best e-cig advise I''ve seen since the Pyramid Tea Bag.
