How long does your 510 atomizer perform perfectly

[Chopstix511]

I've had a Janty Dura-C for the past 3 months, it came with 2 attys.
Been rotating them every second day or so. Since then I've got an eGo and used the same 2 attys in it too. The only mods in place is fluval for the carts.

Both are going strong, however I do give the carts and attys a rinse with hot water once a week and when changing flavors. Hopefully they'll last another month or two before needing to replace them.

Over two months and no problems yet other than getting the flavor of some really rank liquid out. I have only cleaned them when a flavor has gotten stuck and won't seem to go away.

I have two dead 510 atomizers than run cold. I've been using them for 8 weeks. No matter if I use a auto battery or my manual usb passthru. One came from Heaven Gifts, and another from Cignot. Funny thing is, they worked relatively fine until I set them to the side to drain. When I went to pick them back up again, nothin', nada. I recommend using one until it dies, then switching to a new one.

OK, from further reading around the forum, it would seem that I have pulled out the fibreglass wick. There are those on the forum who assert that this doesn't matter, but I would beg to differ. It is still producing vapour, but it seems to have no taste to it and to me just isn't at all satisfying.

I always pull out this wicking before using a new atty.. but I drip!

That wicking is there to help wick from a cartridge to the coil. It shouldn't matter if you drip, but with Carts it can cause a major change.. you may want to start dripping on that atty. Dripping is awesome anyway. No carts to fool with.

I'm not a 510 user myself (yet) but I've found with both the 901's and 801's that for the first week...they rock!! regardless of cleaning/batt/passthru/etc....

After that, the majority start to tapper off that 'wow' hit affect and start showing signs of age.

I don't usually have a rotation scheme so this is from the start to finish on the same atty perspective.

My wife and I bought a 5 pack of 510 mega atties 3 months ago and all but the one that I hit with 8 volts they are all still going. One of hers did start to taste really bad so I have ordered 5 more to have on hand. She is a light vaper, but I never put mine down.

I take very good care of my atomizers by blowing them out every night before retiring. Mine last a couple of months before they drop in performance, then I do a dry burn, and they work well again. I have a couple of genuine Joye510 attys that are going on 8 months of usage. That seems odd to even me after what I've read about the longevity of them from other ppl, but I'm still using them. I vape like I formerly smoked -- a few times a day, not all day-long chain vaping, so that could be it. I think vapers vape more often that they smoked, but that's just my guess.

I got 2 joye 510 attys with my original kit 3+ months ago, and they both still work fine. One of them has started to come apart from the constant changing of batteries and just the general abuse I put it through, but it still produces a good amount of vapor. I have since retired that atty for a backup and have been using my 2nd atty with the bridge and wicking removed. I am about 6 or so weeks into my 2nd atty and it seems to work as well as it did day one. I drip and have done no cleaning other than maybe 2-3 dry burns in that 6 week period.

When they slow down I just blow them out.When that doesn't work anymore I put them in the round file.
