I started vaping the middle of Dec. and have gone through 3 4072's. They last about a month on the average for me.

I killed 1 within my first week of vaping (I think I smoked it dry too many times.....)

I've cycled 4 attys around since then, clean them when they start acting up, don't drain them at night, and all 4 still going strong.

I think it would also be useful to know if you drip on the atomisers or use cartridges. Some say it plays a role in how long the atomisers last.

I only drip on the atomiser when I first get it and use carts the rest of the time. I average a month per atomiser.

Default I have about ten 901 atty's

and alternately use about 3 different ones each day. So far none dead after a month of heavy vapin',
I also NEVER clean mine...or do anything other than drip 3 drops on the coil and puff away.I very rarely use a mouthpiece at all...just drip 3 and go.

Month and a half on first RN4081, and still vaping major clouds. I have 8 spares, so I should be good for a while.

Well , I have 5 now from HG and 2 from T-Vapor, One of the 2 I got from TV went bad in a week and they sent me a new one right out(plus on there side). Let's see how long the 5 last from HG.
I tore one apart last night (901) and found that the little red wire in them the size of a human hair had burned in half.Look's like the wire would need to be bigger to really last.

I've only lost one in the 6+ weeks I've been vaping. It was a 901 -- I unscrewed it midway through a battery cleaning cycle and it's been cold ever since. The other 901s, 401s and pen-styles are still going strong. I rotate (mainly because I like to switch up flavors) and blow them out when they seem to be getting gunky.

My husband's been using the same pen-style from Jane the whole time, although he admittedly doesn't vape near as heavy as I do.

Of the two TW 901's I originally bought, one went for a Burton after two days and the other is still going like Ivor the Engine after 17 days. I think some are good and others go teats up and it's just random.

Original NPRO atomizer still going strong after more than six weeks. I blow it out every few days and put one or two drops of juice on it once a day. I also let it go through that nasty cleaning cycle. It's unpleasant, but it's still working....

From the replies here, if we average out the ones that go after 2 days with the ones that last over a month, it seems a fair ballpark number for atty life is about 1 month. Hopefully that will improve over time as cleaning techniques and the units themselves get better.
