DAMNIT!

This is making me have more trouble deciding between a 901 and a Dura for my next smoke.

You people suck.

I have a 901, which I almost love, like Cyborgasm. I Always find myself constantly refilling carts and placing a drop to run down the inner wall with a slow spin on the atomizer. I have an apc powerpack that is definitely needed, batteries are tricky. Two will last 2-3 hours, the third will go for 9+. The usb passthrough was the selling point for me. It does provide a nearly flawless fully charged hit everytime without using a standard battery. If anyone is interested in 901's katy at thesmoklessshop has a great Ultimate starter pack that is fully loaded. Today I did decide to look into a 501/Dura (to take advantage of this "war" of prices) hehe I've been severley torn between jantyusa. and altsmoke. but Janty is offering the 6 month warranty on batteries and 3 on atomizer.
i'd say to mix and match your favorite suppliers, because there are Alot of great suppliers out there, that are totally willing to help anyone anytime.

After using my Dura for a couple of weeks, I would say stick with the 901. I haven't had the battery problems some have had, and I do like how the Dura uses more liquid from the cart before needing a refill, but I think I'm having atomizer trouble already. Throat hit went from superb to nonexistent two days ago and no amount of cleaning or trying different liquids will bring it back. On the other hand, the USB passthrough 901 with a replacement atomizer every week or so gives consistent performance, even though I hate having to top off the cart every hour. At least with the 901 I know I have to replace the atomizers fairly often and they are cheap, and don't need to screw around with warranty replacements.

901 needs a replacement atomizer every week?

Thats definitely true Jammi, You guys should take the $$$ factor for necssities in mind, such as a battery for a Jany is around $18.95? and the atomizers are $23.50 compared to 901 Batteries which are $9.99-13.50 and atomizers which run along the line $6.00-10.00. Definitely look at this as a long term investment as compared to real cigarettes (gas money to the gas station, fluid for a lighter, the cost for more packs. Compared to $5.00/day your still making out and you will most likely be happy with whatever solution you go with, just dont go blindly hehe

Edit Terraphon: I believe the average life span is 3-4 weeks I could be mistaken tho

It is different for everybody, it depends in the use and in the manufacturer, it also depends on the batch, I have 3 901 atomizers, one of them has 2 months, still working great, in some point this old one comes to perfome really poorly but then I read a post in this forum saying to insert a nail in the baterry side of the atomizers to clear it up, and this atomizer come to life again, I did this same thing with a newer atomizers and its perfomence improved, I don't know way but this method improves the performance at least on the 901.

Terraphon, As others have said, it depends. I probably should have said every two weeks or so, since that is a bit closer to my average, though I have had some that decrease dramatically in performance after about a week. Bear in mind that I am a heavy user.

I used my first atomizer for almost a month and it still worked (and I thought nothing had changed), but when I tried a new atomizer the difference was surprising. The old atomizer had degraded in performance, but gradually, so I hadn't noticed it. I've been swapping out atomizers roughly every 10 days or so since then, and I'm pretty pleased with the results. Seeing as a 901 atomizer costs roughly the price of 2 packs of analogs, and it's keeping me off of a pack and a half a day habit, I think the price is worth it.
