Hey, folks!

Obviously, I'm new to this place and just wanted to give everyone a hello.

I've been vaping for about 4 months and have been really happy that I made the switch... given all of the money I've been saving and how I've been able to notice the change in how well I breath and have been getting my sense of taste/smell back.

I currently am using a Joye 510 and am hooked on Halo e-liquids. Just got my order of Torque 56 in. Great tobacco taste and throat hit.

Anyone got any suggestions on atomizer up keep? I seem to go through them rather quickly... I don't seem to get the vapor output that I would new after a few weeks of use.

Regards,

Charles

Hey there zero. Tips on atty upkeep? Well, I used to try all kinds of stuff to clean and baby my attys until I came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth the hassle. I just use those suckers 'till they don't work anymore (usually at least a couple months) and then I grab another one. At $7.00 a pop it's still a fraction of what my Benson & Hedges used to cost. A tiny fraction.
Welcome, relax and enjoy. :)

Welcome to the best place to learn things about vaping and vaping gear.

Over use is the culprit. Try to have (at least) 3 units to use in rotation. That way, during a day, you are splitting the use across all 3, instead of just 1. Another benefit is you could have multiple flavors available.

I have 9 PV units in rotation, 2 of these with cartomizers. I also have 14 different flavored cartomizers to rotate in. My atties and cartomizers last for months. YMMV.

Welcome to the forum ZT!

1-2 weeks is really on the short side. There are many methods of atty maintenance in ecf, and everyone has their favorite. Browse the E-Cigarette Maintenance Forum for ideas.

One of the most popular methods that can also resurrect your old atties is highping's

Agree w/ Sandford in rotating your atties. One that I use for my all day vape gets at least 6 hours of vaping per day...almost a month and still producing the same as day 2 of use. Many members get months of use from their atties.

I'm definitely going to be trying out highping's method and start rotating them... I have a box full of mediocre working atty's in a box sitting in the medicine cabinette. I just got a boat load of products in from Totally Wicked, Halo, and a free sampler from VaporNine. Also got a pass through for my 510. So... needless to say, I'm pretty excited. wooohooo!

Welcome ZT!

I would only consider the highping atty resurrection method as a last resort because I'd be afraid to pop them. I would consider trying to clean them first. Some people suggest coke (as in the soft drink, I think), lemon juice and 151 rum. I can think of better uses for 151 rum, so I use isopropyl alcohol. In a small glass, bring it to a boil a few times in the microwave, then let 'em soak for a while, blow them out and let them dry over night. I haven't been doing this for very long, but so far it seems to be working.
