How long does your 510 atomizer perform perfectly

[nonstinky]

Lol....dang typing on phone That was supposed to be NOOB!!

4 weeks now on my first atomiser. Too lazy for maintenance, I don't bother taking it off the battery overnight. I'll know better when it actually goes.

I have 2, 510 attys that I've been alternating since April. They're from eastmall.net.

When I first got them I was using them with the 510 batteries and the 510 passthrough.

Since about a month ago I've been using these same 510 attys on my GG running at 6v.

Still working perfect and they absolutely rock at 6v!

I have more brand new 510 attys that I bought in April that are still unused. Looks like I'm in for the long haul with this purchase

what about the "ice machine cleaner" are you doing that Kreel?

Ummmm...no way!

Here's a big secret. Many vapers are now savvy to ordering more than one atty at a time. Hey! - so do I. BUT...the warranty on these is two WEEKS! So what are they doing? They get all four attys out and try them all to make sure they work! Right? Raise your hand if you've done this. NOW - NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!

Why? Because storing an atty for any length of time unused with juice in it will shorten the life considerably. EVEN if you blow it out, the juice remaining will still thicken and harden in the atty, overwork your coil -and VOILA! - one week atty anyone?

The burn method alluded to by Pete is the only way to assure this doesn't happen, but only if you do it from the start, and only if you do it correctly.

EDIT - I never let any fluid touch my atty except for unadulterated PG ejuice. No water, no cleaner, no vinegar, no peroxide, no pepsi, no nothing.

EDIT #2 - Never top up your cart before going to bed. Always vape it down to where it needs to be topped up in the morning. Leave the cart on, and unscrew the battery (if you want your battery to last in the morning). Some people stand em up. I suspend mine horizontally.

EDIT #3 - Except for the straw mod (which I highly recommend) keep your unit as stock as possible. I don't use teabags, no coffee filters, I don't pull out the coil wisk with tweezers, etc etc. - flooding the atty is a no-no. I don't drip except on a brand new atty, and only enough to prime it a bit (maybe a drop or two at the most using a very moist cart).

One more thing. I've mentioned this in many posts over the past few weeks because it is becoming apparent that noobs do not have the patience to correctly build/re-stuff a cartridge. This is the most important thing you can learn on your PV. You can't manufacture a battery, you can't manufacture an atty, but you CAN restuff the cart correctly with practice. The vast majority of problems posted on this forum are due to incorrect cart maintenance/stuffage.

I agree with most of what you say Kreel. I haven't yet given up on compiling an atty PM method. I wonder what the factory uses as a primer for the wick. I know that there isn't a reasonable method for restoring a gunked up coil. The only solution for the coil is to catch it earily and prevent the build-up in the first place. I'm just not sure on how that is done successfully. The operation of the coil is by contacting the juice is where the build-up takes place so it is unavoidable. It can only be minimized not prevented The same thing applies to the wick, although I believe the alcohol bath may be able to clean the wick. But, I'm not sure enough yet to make that statement.

I have 8 attys still in their factory packaging. I know the warranty has expired but the only safe way to store them is to not use them until they are needed.

The bottom line here is that the 510 has no design problems in the atomizers different from any other model. They are designed to be expendable at some point.

You are correct. Atomizers will eventually fail. Just like car engines fail. They CAN last a lot longer when properly used, however. The 510 atty is the overall best performing atty on the market right now. The Chinese worked on this for a long time to bring us this marvel. That being said, you could sell John Q. Public a Sherman tank and they would break it within 6 months (if not sooner) - guaranteed.

Best advice I've seen yet!

I have had my joye 510 for 4 weeks now. I love it. One week off analogs. The atomizers work well, but today I have noticed in both of them a burnt flavor. I clean it regularly and I drip so it isn't the cartridge. however I can not get rid of the burn. Vapor, pass through, and such is great. Just burned. thoughts?

I'm fairly new to this; have had my 510 for a couple of weeks and cleaned the atomisers every other day with compressed air. This has been working very well, but last night I did something different and feel I may have made a mistake. I looked in the atty after blasting with canned air and there appeared to be some wadding stuck to the wick. I assumed it was from a cart, so took some tweezers and pulled it out. However, rather a lot of material came out and today the atomiser, though working, doesn't quite seem; there is less vapour production than usual. Have I actually pulled out part of the atty's wick? The stuff I pulled out was not metallic, but looked like stringy bits of wadding. As I do not really know what a atty wick consists of, I am unsure if I damaged the wick or not.
