All we can really do in the meantime is purchase an atty or two when you have a few extra bucks to spend. This way you'll have enough over time to last you quite a while and if you perform regular maintenance on them, they'll last you for months. I am still using 510 attys that are more than 6 months old now and they vape as good as brand new.
Also, when you have an atty that really dies,
do not throw it away. There are ways to actually rebuild them (instructions posted in forums here at ECF). So even if you cannot do it yourself, you may be able to find someone who can do it for you in the future.
