How many days do you get out of your atomizer and what's your voltage?

[son et lumiere]

I am just curious how many days you get out of your atomizer and what the average length of your atomizer is.

I'll start first I set mine to 5 volts and went through 5 atomizers in 6 days. Sent it in for repair let's see if that fixes it.

I get anywhere from 1 to 6 months out of a atty. Probably 1 month is the average. I've had some die in one day. There's not much quality control in China, so the life span will be all over the map.

What kind of attys are you using?

 

[son et lumiere]

Joye tech 510 atomizers.

Couldnt have been set to exactly 5v, what kind of mod where you using since you say (set) was it a Buzz, A Tekkeon ?? what mod

Sorry, didn't realize this was the not cigs forum answer did not apply to the Buzz.

 

[ejoker]

haven't killed an atomizer yet, settings have varied from 4.0 to 5.6, appx 6 weeks in.

I killed em using my Buzz. I sent it in. I think there was something wrong with it.

Odd. Ive killed 3 in the past month on my Buzz, I just figured it was bad luck (usually mine last ages so I figured I was due some crap ones) or the fact that I have no clue what voltage Im vaping at and might have been vaping at too high a voltage for their comfort. I lost my sweet spot the other week (not sure how lol) and Ive been having trouble finding it again and may have wacked up the voltage to its highest setting by mistake (I try and compare it to my eGo, and try and get it 'stronger' than that feels) - I guess I really DO need a multi-meter lol.

I have not burned one yet. I never go above 4.5v though. Also, I have only really been using attys for direct dripping at the house. Most of the time I've been using cartos. No burned cartos either. I was getting really burned taste at 5v.

Guys If you do not have a voltmeter there is an easy way to reset the voltage and be within .2 volts !!

turn the pot 15 turns to the left ( down ) then reset it according to this chartView attachment 18384
set the turns for the voltage you want to vape at.

Son not knowing the voltage will kill attys , your issue was battery life and that something completely different .

I just ordered this voltmeter $6.70 shipped ussually takes about 2 weeks to get to me. LCD Digital Voltmeter Ammeter Ohm Multimeter DT830B - Meritline.com

That should work fine Son , that way you can test your atomizers as well as the voltage ! this will really be useful for all devices and cartoz and attys !

 

[jj2]

I've just done in a few (under a half dozen) since I started vaping.

Son, the next time you order something from Notcigs or have some extra cash, get one of the adapters for measuring the voltage. It makes it tons easier, and you can actually use it to measure the resistance on atties if you hold them just right. Measuring resistance on atties is a pain sometimes because it's hard to hold them still -- well, batteries too, for that matter.

 

[BuzzKill]

you can make one if you have a soldering iron also !

A vaper without a DMM ( volt ohm meter ) is like a racecar driver without a helmet IMO !

 

[JoeChemo]

I've been using the same two attys (510 HV 3.5 ohm) on a 5v passthrough for over two weeks.

A vaper without a DMM ( volt ohm meter ) is like a racecar driver without a helmet IMO !

I agree. I use the volt meter to set my Buzz and the ohm meter is the quickest and easiest way to determine if an atty's dead.

For people who are intimidated about using a multimeter, you can pick up a easy to use voltmeter at this link:

I am trying to find a consistent source for those as well for a cheap add on voltmeter .

 

[son et lumiere]

I sent my Buzz back in and there was a loose connection which would be the cause for me blowing 5 atomizers in 6 days. Would it also be the reason for my poor battery life?

I would think so. I guess you'll find out soon enough.
