Mine is 1 week old now
First day a little rough do to break in
I read the instructions and know they can be temperamental
Day 2 to 5 really good
Day 6 starting to clog so I gave it a vodka bath overnight (vodka now taste terrible)
Today hard to draw and little flavor
Many dry hits
Testing many different flavors

Not sure if its time is ending or I should be doing something else

I was hoping for the price they would last longer

Thanks in advance Larry :)

Mirrors my experience with some of the more expensive atty's. Although I must say some people can run them for weeks or more.

I just buy the Joye, it doesn't hurt quite so much when I am only paying less than $5 an atty. My Joye last me longer.

Check the ohms on your atty. What I found is a drop in ohms caused the reduced ability to get a good vape.

Hey Thanks
If ohms are wrong can I do anything about it?

DH and my preferred narrow range of juices gunk up every atty very fast. For 510 and 306 I could get max 3 days use before throwing them in "to be cleaned" box awaiting a mass cleaning and dry burning session when enough accumulated. Method that worked best of all I tried over two years plus is/was boiling. I quickly became a master dry burner. I even had some Joye 510 that were in rotation for a year before they became long in the tooth but still working and then cleaned and thrown into emergency box. (When I settled into RBAs the emergency box attys and cartos went into trash.)

306 ARE THE HARDEST TO DRY BURN. I RARELY POPPED 510, 901, OR 801 but did pop an ocassional 306 being over zealous.

I dry burn (or torch, depending on style) RBAs virtually daily using same juices. DH goes a little longer but I can always smell his at least a day before he makes comment he needs to put new atty on.

DH can go a week with a screw on atty head in his Mini Vivi Nova tanks. Most usually I smell them getting foul a couple days before he thinks they need replacing. But lately, after over two years vaping his smelling/capabilities have suddenly increased so he's needing more frequent change outs.

Point is I think a lot of the atty performance and taste is dependent on the juice being used in addition to the individual vaper.

If cleaning did not improve the ohms I use to toss them. But now if they are reading higher by a couple ohms, I slap them on my VV Grand and crank up the volts. I can get at least another couple of days with them performing good.
