I had read great things about the HH357 atomizer and how long they last and that they were well worth the extra cost compared to other atomizers. With some trepidation, I took the plunge and purchased a LR HH357 for my Reo Mini. Well for the first three weeks it was a real nice vape. But then suddenly it died. Avid Vaper apparently doesn't stand behind it's products despite the high price stating that only DOA's are accepted, other than that sorry, thanks for the money. Bye Bye. By the way send it back at your cost so we can see what we did wrong with yours, of course we won't reimburse you for the postage and send you a replacement. Just buy another and good luck next time. I really wish they lived up the the hype that Cisco and his atomizers claim but unfortunately, for me it was $25 bucks down the drain. I really wish they had some sort of reduced cost replacement program or something since the hype and claims certainly do not match up to real life.

I'm right in your boat there. My long barrel lasted about 3 weeks also. What a disappointment with these 22 dollar atty's. Never really vaped all that great either. Going back to the basic ol' 306. 
contact hannah, the guy that makes em, I had an issue with one of mine and he confirmed the issue and rebuilt or replaced it. The shipping was on me but woop di doo it was a 1.50 and I got a new atty. I still to date have not found any atty that works as satisfactory without fiddling as a 357, I am hoping something will come along but until then I spend 22 bucks a pop.
I have had 8 HH357 attys...love them as I am a direct dripper... Usually I get 2 months out of one, I toss em then even if they work after 2 months due to flavor and performance loss... I did have one die after 6 days..... I highly recommend the HH...
I use them on a Provari... I order the custom ones for 100% VG @ 3.o ohms..........

I did contact Hannah. He told me to return it at my cost to see what he did wrong but he could not replace it since it had no warranty. Great service.Don't give up on the HH357's so quick I had the same thing happen to one of my 510 short barrels and it was also fixed just for shipping costs.After it was fixed I used it for 6 months before it died.Then I bought a 1.5 ohm 510 long barrel and a 3 ohm 901 long barrel and have been using the 2 for just over a year now with no signs of either dying.I have not found a better set of attys yet for flavor and with this kind of life I don't mind the price at all.
Im going on my second month on my first hh.357 and have another long barrel 2.0ohm and trying out the crisco 2.5 510 atty. The first one and still going is a 3.0 long barrel. I am running 50/50 in it right now and I cant get the plumes as hannah does.. kind of close I think. But not complaining.. or I wouldnt ordered a spare
Sounds like something fishy is going on, I have heard of several people that had issues and Hannah ends up fixing their atty, like I said, he did it for me. Obviously, I had to pay return shipping but I think that's more than fair. I still have not found anything better so I stick with my 357's.
I had the exact same issue as you
One of mine lasted 1 hour the other 4 days
They asked me to send them back and said I couldn't have a refund cause they were used ( DUH)
I paid with a credit card and am disputing the charge, you might try that

I received my long barrel 357 today. Ordered the 2.5ohm for my E-Go Twist 650. I read the instructions from his page, didn't try anything excessive, 3.7-4.1v, and it blew me away. I went from chain vaping a pocket full of eRolls all day to being vaped out (quite satisfactorily) for an hour or more after five minutes with this thing. Maybe I'm just a noob but I can certainly see why people rave about the quality of the vape with this thing. I actually turned it back down to 3.6v on several of my juices just because of the enormous increase in flavor. Too much flavor on a couple of them even. It's like trying new juices all over again. Hopefully it will last longer than some of the cases I've read here.
Ok, the new toy euphoria has worn off.. Been using it on and off for five days now. First of all, I have a 2ohm, not a 2.5. Not sure why I typed that.. Definitely a learning curve, as has been mentioned. (Or these are just another finicky gadget..) For whatever reason, the flavor has really dropped off a lot the more I use it. On mellower vapes like Custards Last Stand, I'm getting more flavor from my old Ego C atties. Seriously.. What a turn around.. Two other things: It floods and leaks out the bottom if you put more than half the recommended drops in, and the draw is seriously open. It performs well and makes tons of vapor as long as you huff the hell out of it.. Slower and more normal draw just doesn't make it happy. You do get plenty of warning before you approach a dry hit, which is nice. Still, I'm not a huffer and would prefer a much tighter draw. I'm considering trying the Cisco Spec SR510 to compare.
Mine usually lasts months. In fact, I don't think I've had one die on me yet. I bought 6 a long time ago, and still on the first one... Although I mainly use RBAs, I still use these from time to time in the AMP tank. The resistance may go up a bit but then I just clean them the way they suggest on their site. (Edit: First one died fast due to user error but the second one is still going strong for many months.)
but the second one is still going strong for many months.)

for the price of these things, you could spend a little more and get a decent rba. I don't understand spending $25 on something that has a life expectancy of 6 weeks
I know GrimmGreen had one of these things and claimed it lasted him a year. Probably didn't use it very much though obviously.
Some people aren't comfortable or simply can't rebuild things. Or if you have money and want to try things, why not? Or maybe just for simplicity? If you're traveling or moving around maybe you don't have time to sit down and build a coil.
