David, are you sure this guy didn’t fill up his cartridges with THC? I followed his advise and put two of my atomizers, one dead the other having lost its luster, into a cup of carbonated water. After letting them dry I had two dead atomizers, Bummer!

What are you trying to buy? You can actually do this with you own battery most of the time. If you have the manual battery just hold the button down for a few seconds if you have an automatic battery blow on it from the LED end. It all works the same.

WHERE CAN I BUY ONE?

There really isn’t much you can do with a battery unless you’re very handy. Batteries have an internal switch that is activated by your puffing and sometimes they get stuck whether it’s by liquid or just because the switch felt like getting stuck. The way to saving some batteries is unsticking this switch. Personally I destroy batteries every time I take them a part so when the switch is stuck or the battery stops working I just toss it. If you’re handy you can give it a shot, the worse case scenario is you wasted a few minutes on a bad battery, best case scenario you fixed it.

Also some model batteries are generally less finicky than others. The model you’re using sounds like one of the finicky battery models. You might want to try fixing your batteries and/or trying a new model. It hurts sometimes to switch models, but in the long run you can save money if you find something that is a little more reliable and lower maintenance.

It’s not me in the video, but it can happen for various reasons. Most likely he inhaled more than he expected. If you’re use to it, it doesn’t happen very often. Sometimes it “goes down the wrong pipe,” kind of like when you drink water and that happens and you start to cough.

Why do you cough when inhaling the vapors

You can actually do this with most batteries. The way to do it is pull the cartridge off of the atomizer, then blow on the battery in increments of about 10 seconds (you don’t want to completely fry your atomizer which is possible doing this). Basically put the battery in your mouth like you’re smoking/vaping and instead of inhaling, blow to activate the battery.

If you’re doing things right or your atomizer isn’t too clogged/completely dead you should hear it sizzle and it will give off a little bit of vapor.

i can’t believe i watched the whole thing. actually pretty entertaining for a half-baked vaper such as myself.
can i just use my regular pen battery to cook the atomizer? it doesn’t really seem worth a couple hondo just to fix a six dollar piece.

Hey Thanks !!
I got all but one of my atomizers to vape like crazy now. The one that didn’t, I’m soaking it out, rinsing it, then drying and I’ll give it another cook to see if I can bring it back to life. If not…then I’ve only lost one atomizer. Not too shabby !!

I did hear the snapping and I watched it light up inside til it smoked. Then I stopped & cooled it down before I added the drop of liquid.

Your right..the 1st taste was a little burnt, but I just blew it out without inhaling. Now they worked like a charm.
Yay !!!
Your the best, Dave. Thanks !!
