Has anybody using atomic cinnacide had problems with your atomizers dying. I have been using this for a couple of months and seem to have more atomizers die.

Does AC cinnamon kill atomizers ?

Hey Martha,
While I do not use cinnamon, it would not surprise me. Same could happen with clove oil. Both are corrosive oils. Cinnamaldehyde, the compound that makes hot cinnamon flavor, can actually etch plastic. Eugenol (clove) also does this. Given your experience I am assuming this is not the usual new-user poking and prodding and over-cleaning thing that tends to kill attys, as well as running them too hot. It could be the oil is dissolving adhesives in the atty. I do not know the effect on metals.
OTOH, if you are cleaning them in alcohol, almost all the attys I did this with died prematurely, regardless of the juice I was cleaning out. I assumed I was dissolving the adhesives over time, although while alcohol is known to do this, I do not have concrete data that this is what actually happened.
And I hate to say it, and might get flamed, but the reasons above are why I do not vape those flavors...and cinnamon will really irritate my throat and mouth. Both are well known lung irritants...exposed tissue is far less resilient than plastic. Some people love cinnamon, the hotter the better, with no issues at all. I am just not one of those people, and there are known chemical properties of these oils. Aldehydes in general are an inhalation problem, like diacetyl.
You may want to post this question in the DIY forum to see if others have noticed this. Your cleaning methods may actually be the root of the problem, and not the cin oil, but in my opinion, cin oil is a very harsh compound.
