Liquid fried atty ? Is this possible ?

**nyabzns** · 11-18-2009, 12:36 AM

I'm currious if anyone else has experienced anything like this. I had three M401 attys. All were about the same age, one a couple of weeks newier than the other two.

I rotate the things out and use one today, the next one tomorrow, etc..

All worked awesome until recently. I tried a new e-liquid out and after about 3 days all three of my attys have a horrible burnt taste. I've cleaned them using about every method anyone can post on here and still get the same thing.

I understand atty's don't last forever and being an electrical part they will fail but all three failing at once seems a bit odd to me.

If they are still producing vapor try dripping on them and then vaping without inhaling. Repeat the process several times.

Did you try Crest Pro Mouthwash with a little Efferdent?

You didn't mention how old they were. If they were getting old, and you're rotating them, they would most likely fail around the same time.

I use one at a time. When one goes, I start on a new one. When my supply gets low, I order more.

I've experienced this with redbull liquids from Heaven's Gifts. Burned up 3 in a week. Def. learned my lesson!

About a month and a half old. Probably a long time for some attys.

But you've got to divide that by three ... since they were rotated. So three weeks each in not all that great a length of time.

I little while back, I had purchased some juice from a source new to me. I lost 3 attys in 3 days ... Two of which were brand spanking new. I sold that juice (warning the buyer) who had the same results. He lost 4 attys in less than a week, but liked the juice so much he felt it was worth the extra cost.

So yes ... some Juices can kill attys ... Especially if made with high concentration of flavorings.

I am not convinced that e-liquids kill atomizers. As Jim Davis stated, the amount of time you had the atomizers in service might indicate they were FTD (fixin' to die) anyway. At $7-$10 a pop for a new atomizer, they are way less expensive than a carton of analogs.

No doubt that there cheaper than analogs. I'm currently a little wealth deprived so I posted the thread simply because I don't want the same thing to happen with a new order of attys.
