3 atomizers dead within 2 days?

[momswann]

I had 3 atomizers die (will not heat up) within 2 days of each other? Is that odd, or did we just hit life expectancy? (about 2 months)

Any hope of reviving them?

Funny you ask! I had 2 atomizers act up on me yesterday so as usual, I tried cleaning them first. Soaked them in white vinegar first, then in hot water, blew 'em out and set them up to dry. This morning, 2 more started acting up so I got the clean ones out. They don't work at all! I don't understand it....I cleaned them as I have before. They are 5 weeks old now.

So the 2 that started acting up this morning I just cleaned with hot water only and they are sitting to dry. Thankfully I have others to use.

I guess those 2 that I cleaned and don't work now are kaput!

Hope the ones I just washed turn out okay.

Lu,

What brand of e-cig do you have?

if it won't even heat up, chances are they are dead for good.

Lu,

I have the penstyle.

I was afraid of that. I test them by dripping a few drops of liquid in then suck right off the atomizer. Nothing is happening. I know it's not the batt because I am using that with a new atomizer and it's fine there. Drat!

Ok, so I have a 901. What is the typical atomizer life for a moderate (one pack per day) smoker?

[Grenage]

Two months for a 901 atomiser is pretty good. I seem to average one every three weeks before they become lackluster (I'm storing them for a big clean later, but assume they will die). Some have died completely as you describe, more often than not when I drop them on the floor. Really is luck of the draw.

I had 2 Cartridges that died after using only a few times. I was pretty dissapointed. I got some tips from others to use e-liquid to refill the cartridges. I haven't bought any yet but I will soon. I guess, give the e-liquid a try because my cartridges don't last nearly as long as advertised.

Two months? Those were great atomizers. Yes, you hit their "natural death" age.
