For me the atomizer starts to get hot after 6 or 7 good puffs. I'm a fast smoker though. I barely take a breath between hits when I'm smoking real cigarettes. For a real cigarette I found that I get about 17 hits before it's gone (I usually smoke Camel Lights). For an e-cig, I've started waiting for the atomizer to cool off a bit and then go again. It doesn't take long for the atomizer to cool off... 30 seconds maybe? Then I either go again or figure I'm done for awhile.
I've already killed an
njoy atomizer, I figure from either smoking one of the USD5 carts past empty or letting the atomizer get too hot (though, maybe the atomizer was just a lemon). I'm a little more careful now because of that. Besides, I like a good indication that the cigarette "is out".
