My sister and I both use LR901 atomizers. She is going through them like hot cakes! She takes a lot of draws and her atomizers get very hot. She insists she is keeping them wet but says there is a burnt taste. I'm wondering if this is causing the atomizers to lose performance. She complains that they get to where they barely heat up and she gets no vapor. I'm at a loss of what to tell her. She vapes about 35% vg if that would make a difference.

Also, on some of the atomizers it seems like the wick placement is too deep. Is that something that is common and if so how do you fix it?

Any help would be great because we are both getting frustrated with it.

Thanks

There's a reason why almost all LR atty have only a DOA warranty - they don't last that long. You have to keep them soaked to where they're almost flooded but not. The first sign of loss of flavor is when you have to add ejuice. If you go to 'no flavor' the 'burnt flavor' will follow and the atty will be gone. Key on 'decrease in flavor' and you'll get the most out of these. A regular 510 atty at 2.1-2.3ohms will take much more and still get you plenty of vapor and flavor and sometimes have 6 months warranty.
