How to fix problems with the atomizer e-cigarette

Problems with an atomizer in an electronic cigarette are diverse. They can be caused both by faults in the evaporator itself and in other elements of the device. The type of problems can be judged by the labels appearing on the vap display. If no major damage has occurred, then it is possible to repair the mod yourself, without the help of specialists.

Purpose and device of the atomizer

An electronic cigarette is a device called slang vape that replaces ordinary tobacco products. The difference is that the smoker does not smoke tobacco from the tobacco into the lungs, but vapor from the liquid, which in most cases contains nicotine.It is believed that saturating the body with the help of vap is less harmful than with simple cigarettes, but this is a very controversial issue.

Vape consists of two main parts:

• atomizer ("atom");
• battery pack.

The atomizer in the device performs the functions of a conventional evaporator: inside it, the liquid heats up and turns into steam. It is a cylindrical container of a small size with a ceramic bowl embedded inside. The last part contains the evaporative system. Its constituent elements are:

• wick - threadwithstand significant temperatures;
• nichrome spiral (evaporator winding), which is different in diameter in different models;
• contactslocated at the ends of the nichrome winding, connecting it with chips, buttons and sensors.

Atomizer device

Powered electronic evaporator from the battery. On top of the evaporation system most often impose metal bridge, covered with a material (its base is iron) with a microporous structure. This is done to prevent damage and fluid transfer.

A number of models contain tank series evaporators differing in design from the described variant.

By the thickness of the spiral of nichrome atoms are divided into the following types:

• “Low Resistance” - with low impedance up to 1.8 OM;
• "Regular" - standard (1.8-2.8 ohms), the best option;
• "High Voltage" - high impedance (more than 2 ohms).

When using electronic cigarettes after some time, depending on the quality of the product and compliance with the rules of operation, various problems start to occur. Often they are associated with the absence of steam, therefore, with the evaporator. About their character give insight on the display. Knowledge of the principle of operation and device vapy helps to cope with problems.

The reasons for the appearance of the inscription "atomizer short", how to fix vape

Atomizer short - the appearance of this inscription on the display indicates a short circuit. This is short for the non-fully contained atomizer short circuit. It may appear on different devices: Wismec Rx200 and Rx2 / 3, Cuboid and others. The problem has various causes related to both the mod and the evaporator. They, along with solutions, are given in the table below.

The causes of a short circuit vary. Some can be removed with their own hands, while others will require the replacement of parts of the box mod. In the absence of skills, if the box mod writes shorted (short-circuited, closed), then the vape is better attributed to the specialist.

Actions with "atomizer low resistance"

When a box mod writes "atomizer low resistance", it means in a direct translation "low atomizer resistance". The reason may be caused by:

• poor contact between the heater and the racks, or the atom and the battery;
• not the ability of the ES with the existing resistance;
• malfunctioning electronics.

It is necessary to do all repair manipulations carefully. The work will need serviceable mod and multimeter (to measure the resistance of the atomic helix). To troubleshoot, perform the following steps, in order, according to the reasons above:

• tighten the rack screws and re-check the contacts, or change the pins of the evaporator or fashion;
• check the resistance of a coil with a multimeter: if it does not correspond to this device model, rewind the helix;
• install the atom on another mode and check its operation: if steam is formed, then repair the broken box mod for repair.

The most serious are problems with electronics, because in most cases they require the involvement of specialists. It may happen that it will be more profitable to purchase a new device than to fix an old one.

Troubleshoot when “no atomizer” appears

The inscription “no atomizer” on the display means that the box mod does not see the atomizer. The causes of the phenomenon and methods for their elimination are discussed in the table below.

In the presence of a serviced base, when self-disassembling an atom, there are cases when it is just forgot to install the evaporator or spiral. The problem is solved simply: install the missing part.

Prevention of damage

Minimizing the above problems helps periodic cleaning and the use of quality devices from proven manufacturers.

Standardly, the process of getting rid of soot goes like this:

• remove the atom and rinse with hot water several times (depending on the degree of contamination);
• if the soot is strong, then the evaporator is left to lie in a special liquid (for example, diluted citric acid) for several hours;
• remove water and rinse the part;
• dried dry;
• set the element in place in the mod and pour the liquid to soak the coil and wick;
• use the device for its intended purpose.

Also, with a strong deposit, the evaporator is heated without a cartridge for 5-7 seconds.

When cleaning the atom can not:

• use chemicals;
• overheat it;
• use for washing a strong stream of water;
• dry too hot air.

Periodically holding these events once a week extends the life of the mod and reduces the possibility of problems with the device to a minimum. But it’s better to quit smoking altogether - it will not only save money, but also keep you healthy.
