Atomizer Usage

[sunsean]

Just throwing it out there - but what are other eroll users atomizer habits? How long do you use an atomizer before a) cleaning it? and b) trashing it all together.

I'm unsure what the 'norm' is...for me, it seems like a new atomizer will be good anywhere from 1-3 weeks or so before it starts going downhill...at that point, I clean it which provides maybe an additional week of use...at that point, does it get a second cleaning or is it just useless?

I guess my question is this: with atomizers, is it more of a 'clean and re-use' strategy? Or is it a 'trash and replace' strategy?

I go about 4 weeks and the just trash it, whether it needs it or not.

Thanks...do you clean it during those 4 weeks? Or just use it and trash it? I can see where just trashing and using a new one will provide a better vape experience, but constant replacement keeps cost up, which is what I'm torn with. I guess $20 on some atomizers every few months isn't that bad though.

After switching to cleaner juices, I've gotten four weeks out of a single atty without cleaning. I'll soak it after a while and try for another four weeks. If its objectively produces good hits, I see no reason to trash it. But I'm also a cheap .......

No cleaning.

My atty habits all depend on the juice. Some of my juices (mostly fruits) can go as long as a month with no flavor loss or strange taste. I leave them alone until they taste weird, and then I just blast them with really hot water. After they dry they are usually good to go for several more weeks. When I am using my favorite flavor (several RY4s), my attys taste funky after 3-7 days. My cleaning method is still just super hot water, but I have to do it much more often. I have yet to throw any out.
