help with LR atty.

[MrGreen]

I was trying to decide between getting a 5v mod with regular atty or 3.7v mod with LR atty. I've decided to go with the 3.7 but I have a question.

Why do the LR attys burn out so fast? Is there any way to maintain them so they last longer? Maybe people are just taking too long of drags and the atty fries out. I just dont wanna go through 3 attys a week.

Just keep the atty's moist and don't vape above 3.7 volts.

Also LR attys are for dripping ! carts will not keep them wet enough! THEY BURN MUCH HOTTER THEREFOR THEY WILL NOT LAST AS LONG

CRAP! I dont like dripping, too much hassle compared to just filling up a cart. Does anyone know which cart mod keeps the filler the wettest? Maybe the zero filler mod?

I use my LR atties on an Ego and I use it with the carts. I've been on the same 2 for three weeks..

The blue foam mod works well. If your attys are getting overly hot, it's a sign of not enough juice on the wicking material. Warm is OK, but hot on a 3.7 battery is bad and usually leads to early failure...

Same here. I've been using them on three different mods - Ken's box, an SB, and my own "Connie" for three weeks, too. I use Kristen's PTB Made Easy cart mod on all three.
Go figure.

 

[MrGreen]

I've found that the PTB mod doesnt keep the atty very wet.

I use the BFD on my EGO with LR attys and have had absolutely no problems for about five weeks. Keeps the attys wet and when you get a dry burnt taste stop and refill. I think all of this talk about attys dying is through misuse. I have regular attys that are over eight months old and they still work great. The only atty I lost was during a too aggressive dry burn cleaning.

I use the PTB fringe mod and my last LR atty lasted almost a month.

is that the same to the ptb mod made easy? DO you have a link?

I have to agree with you there. After over a year of vaping I've only ever had one quit on its own, including my first two LRs that have been going steady for over a month now. I have a dozen or so that don't perform that great anymore, but I'll live with an average of a month's worth of steady vaping.

I use Fluval and the trick is not to use too much. Just bareley enough to keep the juice in and I put 7 drops in the cart first then the Fluval slightly tapered and again not too much then I top it off. The LR attys work fine on 3.7 but if you use 6v they fry in about 2 puffs

I use the Blue aquarium sleeves from Walmart. I believe the brand is Rite way or Rite something, it's in a large blue bag. I've had my LR attys for a week and zero problems so far. I've had some of my atty's for over a year and so far haven't lost any. I keep a dozen in rotation. I only ordered three LR's with my Tornado. I wanted to try them before stocking up. I'll order a dozen or so from Eastmall. At the price they sell them for I can afford to keep quite a few at hand. As everyone has said, they really make a difference.I always keep my atty's wet and blow them out every night. When I fire them up I drop a few drops in. I also give them a alcohol bath every now and then. It seems to work fine. If it's not broke don't fix it.

I only drip with my LR atty and if you keep it wet, you shouldn't have any problems. I assume any cart mod that keeps it wet will be fine, I just haven't found one that does yet (but I haven't tried that many)
