how do you know they did it Pete?

Great work Pete! I'm sure we would all be really interested to see some pictures posted on this thread if you have a camera that could do close ups of the atomisers in question.

I could also then show this to the manufacturers for further evidence...

i wasn't sure if you had sacrificed a new one or just used old ones to check.
performance differs then with other manufacturer's atomizers?

either way, good to know for future reference.

thanks Pete.

Hi Pipeman.....How long do bestecig atomizers last on the passthrough? Will they last atleast a week or two? My pipe atomizers....are dropping like flies.lol

Ooops I should have thought of doing that.....I have taken them all apart and I am using all the little bits of black gunk in experiments to find something that will dissolve it.......I think I must have purchased nearly every single cleaner and chemical I can get a hold of now...I won't be needing anything for cleaning the house or the car or anything else for a long time!

I also noticed on the Dura atomisers that there are additional extensions of something like fibreglass coming off the atomiser and I wonder if this is as you say a new technique to improve the wicking ability?

Hi Edo. For me they last at least a week or two, but then I mix up my vaping over several devices so it's hard to know for sure. My bestecig att hasn't failed yet but then I haven't pushed it very far as yet. It's an occasional vape for me.

Wow that is an interesting find. Are these with the pipe atomizers or others as well?

LOL - Well, I'll be doing some experiments of my own tonight to try and find a solution (literally) to breakdown the black gunk...
