Dead attys kill batteries?

Hello,
Well I had a e cigarette for about a month and was cleaning my atomizers in hydrogen peroxide, after I was done one of the attys didn't seem to work. Well I let it set for a few hours and placed it on a different battery. Well the battery then died. I read somewhere on here that dead attys on a new battery will kill it. Anyone know whether this is true or was it just my bad luck? I don't imagine batteries lasting only one month. From what I heard batteries ought to last six months or so. The e cig was an m801, basically the same thing as a m401 but with different connections.

I have never had a dead atomizer kill a battery---one has nothing to do with the other.

dead (faulty) atomizers can (and do) kill batteries.. they can short them out and fry the little chips and wiring in the battery..

a simple question for you.. why dont you imagine batteries only lasting one month.. exactly where does your information come from..

e cigs were designed by ruyan to supplement tobacco smoking not replace it..

which basically means light occasional use.. not all day and every day use...

so used for their intended purpose (light occasional use) batteries might last months.. but not the way we use them..

when used all day and every day e cigs should be treated as semi disposable items and replaced on a regular basis..

some secrets remain well hidden on this place.. and its getting worse..

This may happen on electric insulation breakage (Which manufacturer recommends hydrogen peroxide? Always follow seller/manufacturer cleaning FAQs), Li-Ion cannot take any short-circuits.

Check the atomizer with a ohmmeter before use, should show >=3OHMs, press on and move the anode slightly with the probe to show short-circuit on mechanical force.

On doubt, better trash it.
