I am still using my first 2 .

Only started vaping heavily since 14th Oct.

I do swap them back and forth and drain eavh night.

Never washed them.

Have attacked them with sprayduster compressed air a couple of times.

I guess I should be ordering more then.

my yentl atomizer went kaput today after about 2 months. I've had a 901 for a little while now and have had no problems.

I have a Kissbox classic atomiser that is over a month old and compared with a new one is just as good for vapour production. In fact I like it better because it's not quite as harsh as the new one.

I'm using my atomisers on a one week on, one week off basis (I've 2). If one goes that gives me around a week using the other hoping a replacement arrives before the other one goes. That's my theory anyway - perhaps suffers from too much faith in logic.

My first atomizer died on it's 16th night as it became victim to a cleaning cycle. The next morning it breathed it's last breath. I now have a new one that is just 1 day old. I'm still working on breaking it in and it seems every new drip brings a bit more vapor. I'm also no longer using cartridges as I believe they played a part in the first one's death. So far the results have been quite nice.

I wouldn't know how to tell how long mine last. I have 5 with another on order. I switch them out constantly and don't keep track. Are most people using the same atomizer until it dies and then moving on? I think I got my first shipment about a month ago, but all the equiptment seems to be working fine. Maybe it's because I switch them out so much???

Usually right when I think "This atomizer is x number of days old and still going strong!" the damned cleaning cycle kills it. Longest so far has been a month.

when the new "toy factor" wears off its pretty normal for most people to just use the one.. long term these these things will need to be put to real use as apposed to playthings..

the gee wow whiz isnt this wonderfull thing soon wears off then the niggles and inadequacies start to show..

sorry for being negative here but far too many people are still in the gee wow whiz buy everything on the planet phase.. my sympathies are with those that have moved on to the real need phase.. and the economics of the real need phase.. which excludes buying everything on the planet for obvious reasons.. he he

i've had my classic 'mydnite' generic 4072 from smokester! for around 7 weeks now , it's used heavily everyday for about 7 hours per day. I've lost count on how many attempted cleaning cycles the batts have done ( before i remove them ) and it's still going great.

Granted I think the draw has gotten slightly harder but the vapour production and hits are as good as the day i got it.

I have been using Pillbox's totally wicked french pipe in it exclusivley so i can vouch for the quality of Jasons liquid too.

Mine on my 901 keep dying after 2 weeks and some turn into wimps within a week. Sometimes new ones never perform as good as the one I had before even after breaking in!

With me its usually the black 901 ones that are the weakest overall performers but the longest lasting.
