Atomizer longevity

[Steelmage]

I've notice that the atomizers I've bought lately seem to be lasting longer. When I first started vaping back in Jan of this year, I was lucky to get a LR eGo Type A or a 510 LR atomizers to last 2 weeks. Lately they have been lasting me 1.5 to 2 months. Are the devices actually getting better made or is it just that I'm more experienced and don't burn them up. The juice I'm vaping has remained the same, 50/50 juice but mainly 100% VG and I have been mainly using my eGo with 900mah batts. I have switch in the last month to my new Buzz Pro but the longevity seems to be the same on the newer Atty's even with the Buzz Pro.

The longevity you are getting now is more the normal lifespan for an atty.
And it is likely due to experience!!
If you think back to your first tries with your new attys, dry hits, that will burn 'em up fast,
then flooding, less vapor, more strain on the atty - longer button push.

Your attys like to be Goldilocks, not too wet, not too dry....
a balancing act for best performance.

Also holding the button just long enough for the perfect hit will lengthen
the life of you attys.

Your technique for vaping has likely been improving, adding life to your equipment,
as much as any technological advancements.

Congrats on your success!!

Yep. A lot of complaints from newcomers are that their gear breaks fast. Ours doesn't

The problem is, an e-cig is not a light-and-use thing like a cigarette. Everything about it is different - but they don't tell you that.

Thanks for the responses. I think you are right. I most definitely had some dry burns when I first started that felt like they could have started a brush fire. When I first started I was concerned the the newness would wear off and I would end up falling back to analogs. I now realize that for me just the opposite it true, the longer I vape the more I enjoy it. 11 months vaping and loving life. As usual thanks for all the friendly advise.
