I recently got an EGO and I love it. I also love the LR 510 attys...but since I am new to atomizers I am curious about something. I bought two LR attys with my ego. The first one was working great (always kept wet) and then after about 4 days "poof" it was dead. Now the second one has been going strong for nearly two weeks. I have tried to be extra careful with this one. I blow it out every couple days. Also have soaked it in alcohol to clean. So tell me am I just getting lucky or am I actually doing something right with this one? Granted I didn't clean the first one but Man only four days and then history! I know LR attys are not supposed to last as long as a reg atty so maybe it's just par for the course. What's the average life cycle on a LR atty if maintained properly?

I find some LR dont last long at all. I started using eastmall.net s LR EM510s and they last a long time. I don't use anything else now. Their attys IMHO are by far superior to others out there and their resistance is about 1.7 to 1.8.

The 1.5sw didnt last me but a couple of days and sometimes just hours.
 
Hey! I have used LR attys on 510's 901's 801's (I Like best) and I have learned a few tricks. Yes I have lost a few but I know why. I am vaping a Rubicon 3.7 and before the LRs got plentiful I just used the regular 3.5 ohm ones. I had to take a primer puff and then several short ones with an inhale in between to get the sweet vape I craved. Using an LR like this makes it get too hot too fast! And poof! So......learning from my mistakes, I soon learned that first of all the primer puff was a waste with the LRs. So no more primer puffs! Then I learned to take shorter and lighter puffs and release the switch in between while I inhaled thus giving the atty a second to cool. My total button down time with an LR 801 is less than 4 seconds total! Big vapor and little light puffs. This works for me and I am getting roughly 4 to 6 weeks out of 801 Bauway Lrs now! I also stopped Dripping altogether because Lrs burn juice so fast. I use a cart loaded and drip 4 drops when they get light or the slightest burnt taste. (This is important) As far as cleaning? What's that? I only clean attys when they taste bad even when cool which is rare for me because I am a vapor head! My attys hate me! Hope this helps!

Eastmall? Are they based in China?

yes kg, eastmall.net / they are in china and have a 17.00 flat rate shipping. So to make it cost worthy you would need to order 10-20 imo. but at 3 bucks each you cant go wrong.

there is a us supplier that sells eastmall attys but I cant remember who. Someone will chime in, i am sure.
they cost a little more from the US site.

Ordered 20 Eastmall LR atty's @ $3.

The first one went out today after 24 days. Checked the juice and the cart was bone dry ! Don't know how I let that happen !

But 24 days ain't too bad.

Use with an eGo, and NEVER clean my atty's.

I'm still using one I got when I started vaping 3+ weeks ago. Considering I didn't know what I was doing, it's stood up well to my abuse. These are without a doubt in my mind the best LR attys out there.

If you can afford to make a large order, then buying them direct from Eastmall is worth it, but their $15 shipping charge is a killer if you can only afford a pack or two.

I appreciate all the input folks. I may try the one's at madvapes (or vaporjunction) next go around. At this point money a bit tight so eastmall (though a good deal) is a bit pricey to take advantage of it. I did just order some Janty's from FSUSA which I never new they carried. I think they just started selling them. Hey I'd be happy if one LR atty lasted me two weeks. It's hard to complain about price considering how much a pack of smokes go for these days.

I could swear I ordered from there once, and it came straight from china. I might be wrong though.

Correct. Unfortunately shipping is like $17.00 so it's only a good deal if you spend a good amount of money. Somebody mentioned the same attys are sold by someone in the US. I "gots to know" who that supplier is?
