Are these signs of atomizers on their last legs?

So I have been using the Joye 510 pretty much exclusivly since June or so. Picked up a couple extra attys within the past couple months and rotate between 4 or 5 of them

Lately I have noticed that sometimes I get this odd "airy" sort of sound when I pull on them, hard to explain but it feels like there is not as much resistance as I am used to. The vapor and TH seems ok, it just feels like sucking on an ultra light when I am used to regular. When they are new there is no noise and it seems more firm. Or something.

Are these signs of attys about to die? I soak them daily in 90% rubbing alcohol to keep them fresh so I dont think its a cleaning issue.

I seldom clean my atties unless they feel clogged, but I drip and they burn pretty hot. I do clean my drip tips often though because of saliva and all those airborne germs. If you clean them with ISO I hope you only leave them in for like 5 minutes, blow them out and let them dry completely.

Actually been leaving them over night, maybe I killed them?

Don't do anything to mine, just use and abuse it until it dies then get another one. I've had the same on on my 6v mod for about 6 weeks and never taken it off.....Eew must clean it sometime

You dont notice a difference? I see a difference in taste only after a few days. Of course I have ADD when it comes to flavors

I haven't noticed any difference, but I think if you get a good atty it, sort of, wears in........so when this one dies I just go to my box of tricks find an atty I like and leave it. I do have some unusual flavours transitioning from one flavour to another. lol
