Atomizer question

[Ann Onymous]

I can't find the answer to these questions. If its somewhere else, hit me with a link, otherwise:

Realistically, how long do atomizers last?

What is the care and maintenance of an atomizer?

I did all this research and ordering and whatnot....my sweet hubsy is clueless as of yet, and I gotta know what I'm doing so I can show him how!!

(I'm still waiting on it to arrive. I'm still psyched to get going, even AFTER reading about the initial side effects )

Atomizers are a pure luck of the draw. Some last a few weeks others seem to last months its all luck. There isnt any specific one that is the best as it is all based on personal use and care.

batteries are the same but tend to last a tad longer.

My 4 atm are going on 2 months but my husband and I rotate them out between us two and the four.

There is a ton here... There have been so many post lately it's hard to find anything. use the search feature and you should find more than you want The answer is 5 minutes to 5 months and cleaning the things is truly a completely up in the air subject. I personally just use em till they burn out... 5 minutes to 5 months later.

Thanks for the info, lol. The link was informative...boiling makes sense, as well as canned air. and letting it drip dry every couple of days.

Anything to save a little money, at least at the front end of this thing!

Anyone who reads this thread should know that when using canned aire you're supposed to blow from the battery-end, not the mouthpiece....

I had it all wrong cause no one specified and I think that's what killed my atomizer T_T (that or dirty pockets, but shhh.. )
