Good idea! I bet if you dig around the forums here, some of the longer-term members have made various efforts to try to figure that out. (I haven't seen it yet though!)

I would be on board for something like that. Let me know if there is some way I can help. Or... If i get some time off work, I can set up a website for that that maybe a few of us can monitor... know what I mean. we would have to brain storm a bit as I am not fully versed in voltage and things like that. But I think in the long run it would be super helpful.
If there's significant interest, I'm a software engineer and can code up a website that would collect this data pretty readily... But would have to see that the interest is truly there before I would take the time to set it up.
EDIT: Coding the website, once the 'rules' are determined, is easy. Determining what the 'rules' should be for this requires more discussion!

Sorry for my delayed response. Crazy work. lol
I am very interested. But I do understand that there needs to be more interest than just me. But I am on board 100%. I just see this as a great way to finally put some statistics together for those who are "shopping around" for an e-cig.
Off topic, how long have you been designing software? something that I am looking at getting into just on the side for a hobby. I love computers and am always interested in learning more about them.

I've written software since I was 16 or so, so the last 21 years... It's a fascinating job (to me at least).
There are many good and free tutorials (and software packages) you can play with without spending a dime....
Good luck if you choose to go that route!

I never thought about using caustic soda before. I've got a ton of that stuff at work... Its industrial grade Sodium Hydroxide though so I'll probably have to dilute it.
What works better at eating crud away though is muriatic acid. That stuff makes caustic look like ginger ale.
The best cleaning method imho is doing nothing other than blowing the atty out occasionally. Letting it run a little hot from time to time also seems to help.
Amen (my response would have ended with that but the forum software likes more characters, so here they are.)
OK, wait... first... PEPSI?!?! do you mix it with the everclear or not.
Second. I will check into the software programs to play around with.
Third. are we really going to put some stats together? LOL I think it would be great to be a part of such studies. let me know either on here or e-mail. Some days it is tough for me to get on here due to work, but ya know.. LOL
Oh yeah, and tahnks again for all the great help.

Pepsi has sugar. Sugar kills attys eventually - collects/sticks on and around the coil - caramelizes and burns. And while PG and VG are sweet, they are not sugars in that sense. The reason people use cola is not for the carbonation but for the phosphoric acid - there are better forms of that to use other than a sugary cola - see ice maker cleaners.
Still I don't recommend either, but you should know about the sugar part. Sugar and oil are bad for attys.
Only two of my atomizers have broken... Both from 6vs. They both lasted a month or so. NONE of my atomizers have broken from 3.7v, I clean them regularly with a dry burn.
ok, so in a sense the same way cola will remove rust from a vehicle...
Makes sense. So it seems that I am really lucky as my atty has been working for 3 months and no major issues. I have not cleaned it yet though. I am thinking that if I want it to survive, I will need to clean it soon. LOL
has anyone noticed a difference in an atty that is "contained", as opposed to one that is out in the open, as far as how long they last?

Is cola used cause of the carbonation? If so and sugar is bad then how about sparkling water?
I have an SLB 901 atomizer for almost a year - though the vapor production has tapered off a bit.
Forgive my ignorance... But what is an SLB? I understand 901... Still learning. lol.
And yeah, from what I have read 1 year is a really long time. How much do you use it?
