Yeah I've read too that you shouldn't mix them. Which I didn't. I rinsed everything very well in between.

I’ve been dealing with nearly the same issue as you for a while and still haven’t solved it. One thing I’d like to add is that when the heater is on in my fruiting room it drastically reduces the mist output. The ambient humidity in the room (not tent) drops way down as well. I’m not sure the exact process of what’s happening but it seems dry air will cause a low output. At least for me.

Allright at least I'm not the only one then.
Your experience correlates with mine as this issue has appeared (or gotten worse) in the winter time when the ambient RH is the lowest (it's been down to 10%).
Still doesn't make much sense to me why it happens for 3 days after cleaning and then back to normal until the next cleaning. Also it doesn't help if I pause the exhaust and blast the FC full of fog and then plug everything as they were. Maybe we should put another fogger to mist the actual fogger lol

are you both using mxmoonant foggers? got a HOH you could test?
are you diluting bleach before use? could be the water is too slippery to function after cleaning.
would seem that something is happening while you're cleaning, either the water, the cleaning agent, the technique, the ambient humidity or some other unknown is affecting the fogger output.

I’m using HOH and been working with John to figure out what’s happening. Really friendly and helpful over there. Tried different disc batches and same issue.
I’m thinking it’s the antibacterial soap I was using. Possibly leaving small amount of residue/film and was taking the mister a couple days to “blast” it out of there or something. Currently shut down for remodeling and I’m going to make another mist reservoir and see if that helps with not having ever used that soap in it. Long shot but it’s something. Also going to not have a 6’ fuckin tube the mist has to travel up before getting into the tent 
Any idea how the ambient humidity affects the fogger? Both the AC and heat drop it quite a bit. Need to get a setup that’s more controlled as opposed to always on when I need them. That’s the next change after redoing the tent.
