How long does an atty last you?

[oplholik]

I have never been an atty user, but with the luck I've been having lately with the ST 1.7Ω mini cartos, I think I'm gonna have to depend on an atty. I'm not talking about the expensive atties, just the average Joye atties 1.5Ω. I'm thinking, use it for a few days then give it a soak in alcohol, and dry it out, using two or three to swap out like this. Seems with the cartos lately, it doesn't matter how much liquid I use to prime it with, and how long I let it sit, just one or two hits and it's burnt. I'm getting so d**n tired of this with the cartos. Thanks.

Trust me, premium attys like cisco and ikenvape are well worth the extra price. They will last you about a month and perform much better. A HH357 from Avidvaper will last (with proper maintenance) up to 6 months. Or you can get a rebuildable dripping atty, making coils isn't all that hard.

Put up with the slight learning curve of winding coils/wicks and use a RBA. An A7 or A7 Mini are both cheap and available and will give you the flavor, TH and vapor of a HH357 atty without the expense or hassles.

After a few tries at coil building you'll be able to tailor the ohms for your own sweet spot. They really do take vaping to a whole new level.

I think I get about a month out of a Joye LR atty. Hard to be precise because I do what you described in soaking an atty that needs it and grabbing a clean one off the shelf. I keep probably 4 in rotation. I usually run them about a week before soaking.

To answer your original question, I use bauway lr306's, I go through around 6ml of juice a day, I run an atty for a week, don't bother cleaning it, just bin it.
However, I buy my attys, direct from bauway, in batches of 50, delivered to the uk, they cost me, just over $2 each, so the cost, makes it hardly worth the hassle of cleaning

I am familiar with re-buildables as I have a couple of Drunkers, but my Reo minis, you have to use an adaptor, and I guess that's not recommended.

Have a lookin the sticky reo compatableRBA's there's a list of what will fit on the mini

The Joye L.R. 1.5 510 and 306 both last me at least a month or more. They are a great atty at an affordable price. I get mine bulk at under $5 each: BULK 901 801 Joye 510 and 306 atomizers

I tried all the other attys. From the cheapest to the HH 357. My luck with all of them showed me that the Joye will last ME just as long.

I don't clean my atty's anymore. Use to clean them, soak them and dry burn them to get more life. For ME the Joye do the job well and the cost is right.

I've used those same attys Nerak linked above (the 510's) as my "go to" atty for over a year. At that price, I run one about 10-14 days then throw it out and grab a new one.

The jury is still out (for me) on RBA's, but they look VERY promising and cheap to rebuild. I *think* you can use them on the mini with a 510 to 510 adaptor (on the REOsmods site, near the bottom of the page of accessories). I'll probably keep a few of the above attys around for times when I just need to "grab and run".

I have 2 VK branded, and 2 Joye's that I bought maybe a year ago, and did try them out and liked the VK branded better. The VK branded is probably a Joye I bet, but they had a little stiffer draw which I liked, better than the Joye and seemed to have a little more vapor. They both meter 1.5Ω.

 

[ancient puffer]

Yikes! Sorry, I should have noted the VK branded for me as well, although I used the Joye a few times and they were fine.

 

[TheAngryBovine]

I use the Joye 1.5 ohm 306's from the same place Karen linked to. I don't bother cleaning them or even change em out for different flavors, and my flavors run the gamut from chocolate mint to fruit menthol to absinthe mixes. After a day or so break in period I get about 3 weeks.

All the Joye I have bought are branded with the VK. They say on the site that they are genuine Joye.

The VK branded attys are all Joye. For sure.

Hi
Some one on you tube said the HH357 last him a year
True ??

I think that was Grimmgreen who said that and yes I think it's true. HH357 attys last many people a very long time. They are extremely well made and if properly maintained will give you month after month of top notch performance. If you're using them every day I doubt you'll get a year but around 6 months of constant use is not out of the ordinary for HH357s.

Been a Cisco fanboy from the beginning but I have found these to be just as good for a much better price and way better than any ordinary atty like the joye, borge EM etc.

You made me go and look Gil! I like some of the drip tips on that site. I need this

Sweet! Very cool.

I defer to everyone's opinion when it comes to RBAs but attys I have strong opinions about and still use on a particular REO I own. I have bought my last Cisco.

The pic of the 510 version shows it a sealed center post ?? Didn't look around to much but figured I'd mention to be careful for others to get the un-sealed version.
