DONT blow into the atty when you are dry burning if you do this. It makes it burn too hot and I have killed 2 attys this way before I realized my mistake.

The coil can get in the 1500F range during a dry burn. The nichrome coil is fragile at those temps. My only atty loose happened when I dropped hot atty on the floor.
Did you measure the resistance of your atties to verify they are dead?
What kind of atties failed?

They were 901's. No I dont know how to measure the resistance but I have a meter and I should probably learn!
