I have been using an Ego with standard 510 atomizers for a little over a year now. Everything was great, but I decided that I wanted to step it up a bit in terms of battery life and convenience and went out and got a Silver Bullet with 510LR atomizers. Awesome! The only problem is that the attys die in a couple of days (I have gone through 7 now...).
When I was on the Ego I never really had any difficulty with atomizers at all (I usually got at least a couple of months out of them if not more).
I feel like something is going wrong here... Biggest problem is, now that I have used the 510LRs on the Silver Bullet I can't go back to the standard 510s (perhaps "can't" is a strong word, but I really don't want to go back as I REALLY like the 510LRs).
So I have been trying to troubleshoot what the issue might be and have run out of ideas... I would like to get some input from the community.
First the setup and symptoms and what I have tried so far...
I have a Silver Bullet with Ultrafire 18650 batteries (not trying to put two smaller batteries in some such) with a Trustfire Multifunction Charger and 510LR Atomizers that I got from Altsmoke. I also have a 510 to 510 adapter and a Drip Shield that I got from Empire Mods along with a drip tip.
Atty death symptoms... I will be happily vaping away, start to get dry, add a coupe of drops (I drip), put the drip tip back on, try to take a hit and everything is cold. Feels like that battery is dead. Change the battery still cold. Nothing happens from the Atty anymore. Put is on an Ego battery just to be sure, still dead. There was no pop or anything like that, it just goes cold. I am fairly certain that this has almost always occurred after adding a couple of drops of juice. Does not seem to an issue with an overcharged battery as it has, mostly, happened with a battery that I have already been on for a while. The Atty does not "fade out" it just goes from great to dead.
Things I have tried... I was concerned that maybe it was related to the Drip Shield causing it to overheat or flood so I removed that, problem persisted. Then I removed the adapter on the off chance that it might be causing an issue, no joy there either.
Other things of interest... I am a fairly long/big hitter (If you have ever watched any of the Mainely Vapor videos you will have a pretty good idea of how I hit). Though I don't feel like I am excessive (For instance, my hitting style was perfectly compatible with the Ego batteries that had the auto cutoff).
I am at a loss at this point. I would really like to keep using the 510LRs but I can not afford to go through 7-10 of them a month.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
