2 weeks :) Sweet... Drip tips are still inbound..

This has got to be the question of the day.

We've got some that last anywhere from 2 puffs to 2 minutes to 2 days to 2 weeks to 2 months+.

The two 510 lr's we carry are from the same two manufacturers and there seems to be nothing that we can pinpoint yet for the time differences in longevity.

I've been running an SLB lr on my chuck for two weeks now and it's still churning out vapor and I've been abusing the thing..

Just curious, how many of you folks clean, blow out, dry burn, wash or do other things to clean things to atties? Not suggesting anything at all, just curious..

I only got 3 days out of mine, i noticed the quality degraded ALOT on the 2nd day. I put my reg 510 atty back on at the end of the 2nd day, i tried again the LR atty and it was producing NO VAPOR at all. I only ordered 1..... it was like a tease i LOVE LR attys but now iam stuck to my reg 510... So really i didn't get a whole 3 days out of it

I also tried it on 4 different 510 batteries that i know were fully charged and nothing :(

guess I will just have to order more,,,cause I am hooked:p on the hit and amount of vapor I get from them:)


I do try to blow them out every couple of days or so, sometimes I wash and dry burn, have even tried iso alcohol and coke (not at the same time) not sure which method is working best for me yet, I do reccomend at least blowing it out every couple of days, it seems to really help make the reg attys last longer



I do like the new 510 cartos better than the 808's I have, they do seem to produce better vapor, although I did have one so far DOA on my hello kit I just got:(

I must be very odd. I've been vaping just over a year, and with the exception of maybe 3, all of my attys have lasted 1 1/2 to 2 months. I never mess with them either, such as cleaning, setting them upside down overnight...etc. I only blow them out if they happen to get flooded, and that's it. Maybe it's because I keep buying extras just in case. I'm sure that if I didn't have any backups, they would be dying on me!

dry burns are bad, in my opinion.. The kiss of death for a LR atty..

I'm with everyone else. I do nothing to atties. no cleaning, no blowing out, nothing and they seem to last a while.. Some flavors tend to bond with them but they're all flavors I like anyway..

I've still got my original bauway lr atty from 4 months ago that I use once in a while.. It's always in my pocket with a drip tip on it.. filled with lint, scratched to crap..

Keeping the LR soaking wet is the secret for longevity, as well as regular Attys to but not quite as wet, I also think letting Attys go unused is bad as well once you use one, so having a bunch of them going isnt the best I know I do it because I vape 5-6 flavors all day long each with a different Atty

The SLB's I had went north after a few puffs (dead as a door knob) but the Bauway LR has lasted a couple of weeks flawlessly so far. Produces tons of vape on my MVS.

My luck would be I got the lemons of the shipment ! LOL
It happens.

I do clean the Bauway LR using GA every few days.
Blow it out, let it sit and dry a bit, prime it and use it.
So far so good.
