A Poll Please - What is the most Reliable 510 Atomizer

[texanandproud]

Most definitely the most expensive item in my vaping experience other than the liquid is replacing atomizers. I'd like some responses as to what atomizer and who sells it that you reccomend as being reliable and working a long while in a normal fashion. Anyone have an input please - Thanks Very Much

The longest lasting 510 atomizer, standard 2.4 ohms, I have is the Magma from volcano. It is a beast.

I have some standard 510's that I have been using for months. They came from cignot.com
Some people on ECF have reported theirs last anywhere from a week to months.
I don't know for certain if it how you maintain them, vape them, keep them well juiced, or what makes the biggest difference.
My theory is that mine last so long because I vape several PVs all day and that gives each of them plenty of time to cool down as I switch from one to another. I also do not vape them dry.

The best I've had so far are a few 510 Low Resistance atomizers from totally wicked. They lasted me about a month each, one of which was nothing but dripping. Also from TW, I have had a few standard 510's last me 6 weeks. On the flip side, my LR 510's from Clouds of Vapor burnt out in a couple days. Since I'm one to always give a vendor a second chance, I'm purchasing a couple of standard atomizers from Clouds of Vapor to see if it was just an issue with the batch.

From the same batch of 510 atties I ordered from Health Cabin in a bulk order I got over a year ago, I've had some that lasted a week and others that lasted for well over a month. I stopped trying to clean them. I stopped draining them overnight. Every once in a while I blow them out. When I first started I did all of those things and then I got lazy. I look at it this way. Cigs cost about $5 a pack and I smoked over a pack and a half a day, or about $8 worth. Even if an atty only lasts a week, between juice and battery usage I use about $10-15 a week worth of everything (and that's using generous numbers, most weeks it's much less since atties usually last longer). If $8 is what I used in a day when smoking then that's a max of 2 days worth to pay for vaping supplies. So I've spent $10-15 in an amount of time that I would have spent at least $54 smoking. When I broke it down in my head I realized that as long as an atty lasted me a week I was coming out a good deal ahead and anything after that was gravy. At that point I decided to toss them if they started not working great or died completely. I got way more than my moneys worth of use from them and my time is worth more than just sticking a new one on. I had previously spent a few hours a week cleaning them or trying to resurrect one that died after a month of use. That being said, I do save them for a long time after they slow on producing vapor just in case I ever run out and need to try to revive one, but since I'm OCD about ordering way before I'm going to run out that hasn't happened yet.
