OK, I am having a time with my atomizer heads. I've got an eGo-C. I have had it about a month. And I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

1. The heads only seem to last about 2 weeks. Is this normal?

2. When I go to change the heads, I have a terrible time getting them in. I had to change one at work today and it was like a Saturday Night Live skit or something. It took me and one co-worker, and when it was over we had three holes in the display case and one disassembled pen, and it still wasn't in right. It just seems really difficult to get them in.

I am assuming I am an idiot here and really need help. So, what am I doing wrong and how do I stop screwing this up before I break something vital? Thanks!

Switching between attues should be easy. Remove cartridge. Unscrew cone. Tap on desk atomiser falls out. Drop new atomiser in. Screw cone back in. If that ain't going right for you something is wrong. As moshiesmom mentioned be aware that the cone and battery both screw into a at either end. Only thing I think you might be doing is not separating cone from collar and mistaking the battery end of the collar for the rubber end of the atty. If the collar wont unscrew you can use the notches cut into it for airf low to unscrew with something long think and flat, else some part of your kit is dodgy, only time an atty didn't slot right in with me was when I bent one slightly cleaning it.

As per atty life I tend to lose mine I ve only had one break on me. Two weeks for 4 quid...aint bad....

Kuarlos. Thanks for the high-tech word (cone & screw - better then thingy)! The only other thing that I can think of is when I soaked mine in insta-hot water, it expanded the bottom of the atty to the point that there was no way on earth it would fit back in.

expansion from hot water shouldn t be a problem, as i have boiled two of mine and they workfine. Try fitting it into the cone instead of on the base, should get a better fit. Then screw base onto cone.

On life expetancy,, my wife and i have been using three for over two mothes, goin through about 4 ml of juice a day. Just clean um out and theyre good to go

I'm averaging 2 weeks per head. Or 1 week depending how you look at it. I vape on both Cs and have to pitch an atty every week but the 5 pack lasts about 5 weeks. That's whether I clean or not.

No idea about the changing problem but you're obviously doing something wrong. Perhaps describing what you are doing would help people help you.
