Yup same one, I have never cleaned it either. I once tried cleaning an atomizer and I think I broke it or flooded it. I am surprised by the short life span. I use mine everyday and blow atleast one cart. I will miss it when it goes, please dont jinx me.

Maybe you just have a good one, you will surely miss it when it vapes no more.

I am using a V8, and never drip any liquid. Personally I have had better luck with carts, on my old penstyle I was dripping and it always tasted like burnt metal, I may have been doing something wrong, so I have not dripped since. I hate the metallic taste.

I have another e-liquid order in.... so I may try it again.... I have about 20 spare atomizers not from Ruyan that I may try. Maybe I flood them, or dry them out, I am still not having good luck.....

I have never lost one Atomizer ever and I have many many e-cigs

I clean them once a week (boil method)

I also blow through the atomizers every night and drain them on a napkin overnight

I also never drip

How long do you boil? How long do you have to let them dry?

What kind of e-cigs are you using?

I'll have to look up that boiling thing, I'm assuming it's described somewhere in the forum... I really don't want to have to replace atomizers.

By the way, hoping someone can answer this... I've got an RN4072 and I'd like to know how to get at the atomizer, for draining etc. The business end of the atomizer (the actual metal mesh) is located within a long recessed tube and I can't get to it, except I guess with something long like a q-tip (cotton swab), or maybe a rolled-up piece of paper. Should I being doing that? Any other suggestions? Is there a way to take this thing apart further that I'm not aware of?

It's pretty easy, you take and blow through the atomizer at the battery end
to get all the old e-liquid out of the reservoir and then put them in a pan
with water and then bring the water to a boil, take the pan off just after
the water boils (maybe 30 seconds to a minute after the water boils) and
then set the atomizer on a paper towel with the battery end up so that it
can drain. Let it sit until it cools and then blow the water out and then
add a drop of e-liquid and a fresh cartridge, let the atomizer sit for a
little while to allow the e-liquid to get into the reservoir and then you
can use it again.

I let them sit over night so about 8 to 10 hours. Then before I prime it back up
i make sure all the water is out by blowing into it a couple of more times
