i have three atomizers which i rotate daily and soak periodically in water for 24 hours. none of them have given up yet but technically they have all been used for 1 week each as i have been doing this for aprox 3 weeks..so i'll see how well this practice works. also after their bath i suck clean water through them like a straw. seems to do the trick

i have tried all methods of cleaning available in attempts to make these things last longer.. over twenty five atomizers over a three months period.. the result.. it dosnt work.. it might appear to produce the odd improvement but overall the things are only good for xxx thousand puffs then they wont work properly anymore whatever is done to them..
cycling thru several isnt a bad idea (it keeps more on the go at once) but in the end it simply means they are have to be replaced all at once instead of individually..
my house lightbulbs kinda do the same thing.. he he

thats pretty precise timing emp.. even my light bulbs aint that reliably guaranteed to all fail on the same day.. he he he
one little trick i have used with car batteries and their likes is buy the new one before the old one is fully dead.. keep the old one as a spare.. as a spare it does its job and lives for ages..
i am just a cheapskate by nature.. if a penny can be saved i will.. well not exactly a penny more like 20 quid.. i wont even bother picking up a f-cking penny if i drop one.. they go in the bin when i do get em..
what was the old saying.. "look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves".. its the reverse now.. "look after the pounds and u dont have to give a sh-t about the pennies"..

Yeah I was kinda surprised - that sort of thing usually happens to me with the high-end stuff (TVs particularly like to die on warranty expiry day) - didn't think I was rotating that exactly. Anyway, the lesson of always having enough spares is well bedded in me and boy do we need them for this stuff. A package from Smokester dropped on the mat just as I was jumping up and down on the last atomiser...

I have changed my atomizer twice in the last few weeks and the hit still isnt as good.
maybe its time to change the batterys, because i have been using them alot for the last three months but they still last the duration of the day so didnt think they needed changing.
maybe this is why im not getting the hit as much ?
