In my just over four months of vaping I haven't had 'one' atomizer still giving out good vapour for as long as two weeks.

I thought I must have had a good one because mine had lasted so long...it died the other night and I remeber someone here saying they had a funeral for theirs- I get it now...I was so sad...I have five back ups now. But I didnt smoke while waiting on the new one- thats pretty f'ing cool. Phew.

I've been using a Janty Kissbox atomiser (JOYE304) for 27 days, all day every day and it's just stopped working - cold. It got a bit sluggish maybe a week or so ago but was still satisfying me (maybe I'm not hard to please?).

It was used with Janty eliquid except for occasional drops of Freesmoke or ecig.co.uk eliquid.

I'm a heavy vaper - started in late January this year with a 901 (and later a Screwdriver). So far I haven't had a single atomiser fail. I do blow them out and drain them regularly.

for what its worth and we only really get to test the RN4075 type of 901 mini atomizer.. we think the build quality is getting better.. we test hundreds and havnt had a DOA one for ages..

we still tend to change ours after a couple of weeks to keep them like new.. but again havnt had one go open circuit during use for ages ether.. and thats with three heavy users in the family..

we think the build quality is better or the bad ones get weeded out along the way to the customer more effectively..

That bears out my experience then - all my atomisers have come from e-cigs.co.uk, TW or trog - all of whom supply RN4075 type - as I said - no failures.

Started vaping on March 1st of this year. Here is my experience so far....

RN4075 Atomizers:

First one worked good the first 24 hours and weak vapor after that. I tried various cleaning tricks and eventually it died.

Second one died with-in a week. During exploratory surgery I found that a soldered wire let loose on the brass base. Unfortunately I couldn't put it back together as it was damaged during surgery.

Third one died as the result of being cooked. The battery came on mysteriously while changing carts. Snap, crackle, pop. Otherwise this atty lasted a month

DSE901 Atomizers:

First one lasted 21 days before I cooked it. I found the button stuck on my USB Pass Through with a manual switch when I walked back into the room. Snap, crackle, fizzle for about 30 seconds. It still worked, but weak vapor. Surgery revealed the most of the wicking fibers inside the coil came out.

Default 901 atty's 7 weeks so far

with no signs of slowing down, Batteries ,
on the other hand S U C K !!! they last...minutes? days? a week?
I can't figure out why they don't just loose the stupid LED and the chip for it altogether and replace the LED with a manual button.

My 901 atomisers have started to last me months, my pens are lasting me upto a month but it wasn't always that way. I don't know if quality has gone up or I take care of them better.
