Hello all, I have a problem and I would like some advice. I have been going through atomizers like crazy. The longest lasting one I have had is two weeks, since that one they have been lasting about one week. Thats not normal is it. I don't drip, I don't let them get to hot, I make sure the carts are filled up. What am I doing wrong, im ready to give up on this.

You need to give more info so someone can help you.What is your device? What are the atomizers doing? Stone cold, drop off in vapor? What liquid are you using? I haven't had but one atomizer die in 2 months and I murdered that one. Maybe with more information someone can help. :)

Becky;

How would you describe your method of vaping?
Do you vape occasionally, or do you vape constantly.

What I'm getting at, is if you vape as you used to smoke analogs, a few puffs when you feel the need, something is not right. You should get more life out of it.

If you're vaping almost constantly, then you're DSE103 is not for you. Constant, heavy duty vaping, will require a heavy duty unit.

like the flavors taste really weak , ya i blow it out like once or twice a day, I tried that and it didn't help

Do you re prime after you blow it out? I have noticed that I can't taste flavors much at times, but other times, I can. I'm sure someone with 103 experience will chime in and help you figure out what's going wrong. Don't give up. It took me a long time to get a handle on my equipment.

I wouldn't say i constantly vape, but I do use it heavily, what are some models that I might enjoy more.

I also use the mini's, but I use mine as I used analogs. Every hour or so, I take about a dozen puffs over a 10 minute span. Then it goes into my pocket for another hour or so.

Some people vape almost constantly. These people are using heavy duty mods, that have large, long lasting batteries that are running on higher power.

If you want to look into the mods, I think it would be best to post a question asking about the high power mods. You'll get tons of users coming back to give you the answers.

After that, you can make the decision for yourself.

Good luck

I use a couple devices when I'm home, sometimes all three. It seems like the longer the rest between hits, the more robust the hit is. So I have my 901, my 801 and my 510 and I just grab one, then next time, grab the other, etc. When I'm out and about, I take my 510 so I can have a freshly charged battery on hand. I have ordered a Prodigy which may be all I need for home use. I'm hoping so.

which one of the ones you currently have is your favorite in terms of taste and vapor production.

I'm partial to my 801 for taste and throat hit (important to me). My issue with the 801 is that it drowns batteries. Two of my three of my batteries have stuck switches. That's why I ordered the Prodigy which I will use with my 801 atomizers. But I enjoy my 510 too. It has a great throat hit and the flavors come through. It's a smaller cart than the 801 so it needs topping off more frequently. Another plus for the 510 is the PCC that you can get to keep batteries charged up while you're out and about. My least favorite (although I do still enjoy it) is my 901. It seems to be temperamental and inconsistent. My 510 is the one I would keep if I had to choose one. This is subject to change once I have my Prodigy. :)

I guess that I got one of the best built DSE103 atomizers out there then. My Smoking Everywhere atty died in less than 3 weeks, whereas the one I have for my current kit has been going strong for 5 weeks now, with no end in site. And I have 7 others in the bullpen warmed up and ready to fly.

I drip heavily and vape like a chimney. Maybe I just struck it lucky. :)

I have a 103 i only use it as a back up in case all my batteries for my 901 are charging or im out and its the only thing with charged batteries left to use.

The 103 is great for very light use, any more then that and you are constantly adding a drop every few drags.

I would get something bigger then a supermini if you are anything more then a light user. I love my 901 but I have no clue what would be a good one for you.
