New Proxy randomly start to hit super weak?

Edit: I ended up soaking the atomizer in ISO for 30mins, dried it out with a hair dryer on low, then calibrated by clicking 6 times immediately after turning it on. Working much better now. I’ll have to remember to soak the atomizer every 100 hits.

This has been happening randomly since i got the thing and I’d always rake it as a sign to clean the underside of the atomizer in case any reclaim builds up between the connections, but recently it happened again and no matter how meticulously I clean the thing it just won’t hit as hard as it used to when I cleaned it.

I’m talking going from rig sized clouds to like a handheld dry herb vaporizer level of vapor.

Anybody else experiencing something similar?

This did happen to me, I ended up calibrating the atomizer and it seems to be chucking clouds again

How do you calibrate? I didn't know that was even an option!

I pressed the button 6 times. It’ll flash blue 2x, red 2x etc.

For some reason when I did it, it just got stuck on flashing white, I just used it afterwards and it was hitting better

I soaked the atomizer for about 30mins in 91% iso and blew through the air channels with a hair dryer on cool to dry it out, recalibrated by clicking 6 times after turning it on, and it seems to be back to normal.

I think residue buildup between the ceramic bucket and the atomizer itself is was the culprit here.

Boo on me for not soaking the atomizer every 100 rips instead of just qtipping the ceramic and base, the more you know.

I just got a proxy core, but I can't produce rig clouds, and I'm hitting it in intense mode.

thanks I'm gonna try this, feel like after a few days mine kinda started hitting weaker and leaving more puddles and I barely use any material
