Ahhh... new atty day!

[AttyPops]

Yup! It's new atty day for me.... Got this month's order in the mailbox. Old atty goes in the "emergency bin". New atty goes on for the month. Anyone else do this? I like new atty day.....

I don't care how ya clean em, new attys just seem to beat old atties after a while..... Maybe I should do 2 per month just to keep em going.

Crazy? You too?

I got my first LR attys yesterday. Two Joye 306's, and one Joye 510. I am LOVING them! Yup, sometimes you just need some new atty love!

I most look forward to a clean non-harsh full thick plume

Love new atties !!!!

Hi Atty !!! (dang song !)

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum I guess. I use 'em till they die, then dread breaking in a new one. Those first few hits of juice infused with the taste of primer fluid is just disgusting.

Since I discovered the proper dry burn method of cleaning and maintenance, I use one atomizer and only one atomizer.
No need to use a new one, even though I have about 30 of them.

I thought you (original poster) were a dry-burner?

I used to have that problem 6 months ago or more, and then started ordering from healthcabin and getting their LR 510 Attys. Once I blow out the primer fluid and put in a couple drops, they're almost good to go. No bad taste at all.

But yes, I do look foward to New Atty Day! =)

Actually, I'm a water/ISO cleaner followed by a mini-dry burn to evaporate the water/ISO. I tend to over-fry them using dry-burn only techniques. My bad.

LOL. So I guess that's kinda why I asked. I guess the observation is that an atty probably averages around $8.00 (depending on where you get em) and one per month is not bad. I find the performance to be great. The old atty still works, of course, but... IDK... not quite as well as a new one. But that's me. Some people swear that their atties work good as new for 6 months. I bet if they put a new atty on, after primer clean out/vape, that they would find the new atty to be better. I do anyway. Which leads me to believe that either A) this is a normal usage curve or B) my cleaning method is not at 100% (probable). Either way, 1 atty per month is not bad... and the old one goes in the "emergency bin".

P.S. I should mention that I use 5v mods too... may wear down/stress the attys (joye 3.0 Ω ) quicker????

I tend to just keep using an atty until it dies. Actually I haven't had any die completely yet. I am still getting good performance out of a couple that I got with my first Ego kit about 5½ months ago. I have tossed a few low performers in the trash, but they were low vapor and TH producers from the beginning.

Before I tossed 'em, I tried to cure them with an Iso alcohol bath and some dry burns. But even on a Roughstack they just wouldn't produce enough vapor for me. The ohm meter tells me they are 2.6Ω. For my Egos and Rivas 2.3 or 2.4Ω seems to be the sweet spot.

I keep the new attys in the emergency bin.
