I am having the worst luck right now, 2 of my atomisers have died within 24 hours, they were both brand new. I gave them both a coke bath and rinsed them off with hot water, and now there out to dry.... i hope they come back to life lol  Cry I only have 1 working one left!!!!

my very 1st atomiser lasted me 3 weeks.... that was with 1 kind of juice only.... I think that the other 2 died cuz I was mixing ... so now I have two sitting up on my kitchen windowsil... and today is sunday so ill let them sit for a week and see what happens lol...  I hope that I am as lucky as some of these success stories I am reading here! LOL

It has been a bad ecig week for me! ... half of my order of juice and carts was missing, the battery that i did get in my order was faulty and didnt work and now... this! bah!

Had my first one die on me this morning (mind you I have been doing my best to emulate a Sisters Of Mercy gig) it's having a cola bath at the moment so fingers crossed.

TW are good when it comes to honouring their guarantee, so I'd try that before losing hope Smiley

Is it flashing or just staying on ?.

Try giving it a light tap on the edge of the table .
Also try blowing in to it from the led end.

That battery may have been what killed the atomisers.

I think the battery has killed them yes. and the battery has had a little tap.
the other battery though glows as it should when vaped. But its dead as well. but it flashes about 15 times as i unscew it
. but nothing as i screw it into the charger unit as its supposed to.
Gonna give the titan a shot i think, then see were i go from there.

put your atomisers in sugar free coke/pepsimax leave for 12 hrs or so, rinse and dry and you will have clean atomisers. Also known to revive dead ones... Smiley

The Original stuff works just as well.

Great for getting rid of nasty flavours.

You might like see if H2O2 boil-in-place cleaning works (if the coils not blown)

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/experiments-equipment/10153-atomizer-cleaned-simple-cheap-effective-method.html#post157632

The vid at the end shows how simple it is, the top bits make it look more complicated than it is.

Excellent work Smiley
I'd have been afraid it would oxidise the coil too, but that looks good, I'll have to try it next time Smiley

Never know these things till you try them I guess,
someone tried really strong H2O2 & reported getting a small flame shooting out,
think I'll stick to the Boots stuff myself.

That doesn't come as a big surprise, so the Boots stuff sounds ideal Smiley

Actually that raises a good point,
going back a while actors smoking in movies was cool,
now it's not.

What if Hollywood could be persuaded to use e-cigs instead,
especially in techy movies, would sit well I reckon.

Yeah, and it certainly wouldnt do any harm to the cause if Neo were to vape a Black titan while killing agents in 'Matrix Re-Revolutions' (or whatever the next movie will be called )  Grin

It would be a great boost tho' if fim-makers were to start using e-cigs in movies... if it was obvious that they were e-cigs and not the traditional coffin pegs.
