Default How many atomizers?

Just thought I would start a thread to try and get some Idea of how other people are doing with atomizer life spans.....I have used up 6 within 2 months....how many have you used and how long have you been vaping??

I've been doing it since Jan. 20. I have 3 901 atomizers and use all of them every day. I use the passthrough with one while I'm at the computer which is basically all day cause I work from home. I keep one in the family room I use in the morning and after I'm done working. Then I have the 3rd one in the den that I use at night watching TV. They all work fine and I've never had one go bad. 3 batteries still going strong too.

Determining usage means a lot here. If someone says they've been using the same one for 3 months...well, is that with everyday heavy vaping? Occasional vaping? Do you rotate with other ones?

I'm a heavy vaper but I rotate 8 devices every day. My atomizers last a long time and I think it's because I rotate them. If I was only using one atomizer all the time, I probably would have had more failures by now.

Strangely enough my first 'one' lasted longer than when I had three going in rotation..but still not very long.....It is difficult because everyone vapes differing amounts and in different ways but I am wondering if there is any kind of average....like most people seem to average vaping around 2 to 3 ml's of liquid a day.

When I made my first purchase, I purchased 1 extra atomizer with my starter kit. I thought about rotating them but I decided it would be better to have 1 fresh and ready to go when 1 died instead of risk the chance of both dying at the same time due to rotation.

So I've been using the same atomizer for almost two months and it hasn't died on me yet. I think I would classify myself as a moderate vaper. I take a series of drags (3-6) every half hour or so at work and a bit more when at home.

Oh and it's puresmoker's DSE901 that I'm using. Hope that helps you somewhat.

I got 2 in my starter kit on xmas eve. One went down after a week. Katy replaced it foc and i ordered another two. Since then i recently lost one. It still works, kinda so i haven't totally given up on it. It's in a drawer till i get the inclination to play with it a little.

I have 2 in rotation, a different one for each flavor so i can switch without having to clean out. Keep another one as a back up. I'm planning to order another one soon.

Oh btw, I vap at least 2 - 2.5ml a day.
