Bridge less atty

[Tmcclure85]

So I just recently got a bridge less atty. how long do they usually last?

Your first one ...... a few days/weeks. After you learn (from experience) what you can/can't do with your atties they can last a good while. The atty I'm using today is over a year old.

I have one thats going on 6 months. Mind you I don't use it a lot about a couple times a week and all I do cleaning wise is blow it out.

What are the recommended cleaning processes

What are the recommended cleaning processes

Put a few drops extra in it, and blow it out. Maybe once a month toss it in some alcohol for an hour or so. Dry burn only when necessary.
NEVER put an atty away dry. Always put a little juice in it after cleaning. The juice will absorb any water/alcohol still in the atty.

More atties are destroyed by cleaning than are destroyed by using.

Right on TJ. Thanks for the input

And when you say blow it out you blow from the threaded side or the tip side?

Before RBAs I used Avid bridgeless LR510s but later found ones just as good for a better price.
