I have two atty's for the 510. One is brand new and the other is about two months used. For awhile I thought my used atty was dying and the suction (drag) was hard. I was not drawing air in very well. Then I switched over to the PTB filler and it worked miracles. But come to find out that while the PTB is a better wicking material the old polly fill was not the reason for less air intake (or clogged atty). And my atty wasn't clogged. It was the amount of wicking in the cartridge.

The standard polly fill was touching the bridge of my atty which dampened the air intake. I cut some of the polly fill down so it wouldn't touch the atty bridge and it now the air flow is much better. Ofcourse I found out about this after switching to PTB filler.

As far as the new atty. I like using my old atty for now and will just keep the new one for backup.
 
I got two atties with my starter kit and just ordered two more. I know which one in which because the broken in one already has chips in the paint from falling out of my apron pocket at work. Once I broke one of them in, the other atty has been benched in my PCC just in case. I can definately tell which is which and the workhorse atty is a champ.
