I am seriously confused

[ikarihiokami]

I'll try to be clear on the issues I've been having. I am hoping to get some insight from people who have had experience with this kinda think and hopefully can clear up my confusion.

I've been buying my joye atomizers and e juice from cignot.com for about 6 months now. I have probably bought 9 different atomizers and with each having different experiences. I have read that 1 atomizer will last a person 6 month to a year and yet I've gone through 9 of them.

Here is what's happening. When I first open the new atomizer it works great. I get one heck of a throat hit and the flavor is great, but at random this experience goes south. I've had one that would be good for a month, I've had 1 that was good for a few days, I had one that was never good. All of my atomizers would put a little dip in the mesh used to hold the e juice, but I had one that wouldn't put the dip in it, but still vaporize the e juice just fine. I've cleaned them the way I've been told and it would produce better vapor, but my throte hit was completely gone after cleaning them. Randomly one seemed to start working again and I enjoyed it for awhile, but then I was back to square one. I've changed carts and some times that would make things work better, sometimes it doesn't. I would drip on the atomizer and sometimes it would make things work better, sometimes it doesn't.

As you can seem I'm confused. Nothing seems consistent and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I feel like I have several good atomizers...I just can't figure out how to get them working right. I have 1 untouched atomizer left and I'm afraid to use it and would rather not untill I figure out what I am doing wrong.

Also, in case it matters, I do swich flavored e juices from time to time and I am a pretty heavy vapor.

Your initial throat hit , may have actually been some left over primer . If you use a bit higher voltage , you tend to get more TH . They ( someone ) sells a TH juice , that you add to your juice for more of a throat hit . But , that being said , some of my atty's last several months or longer , and some crap the bed after a few days or weeks . Just the nature of the beast .

I would also consider the equipment you are using and the ohm rating for the atomizers. Check to see that your battery is powerful enough for the attys that you are choosing. Semi disposable Pen style and fat batt models (to my knowledge) are not designed for low resistance.

You've had a Joye 510 atty go for a month? Whoa, beat my best run with a Joye. I was happy to get 2 weeks out of one, but it would croak right after I had that happy moment.

I've pretty much gone to just dripping now. Use Ikenvape's I06 and Avid Vaper's HH357 exclusively, but both places do have better than average attys even if you don't go with those specific models. They cost a bit more, but I find the life cycle makes them a better value for someone who vapes as heavily and takes as long of a draw as myself.

I've seen folks say they got all kinds of life out of Joye attys, but I've never been one of them.

Most people get sick of depending atomizers and switch to cartomizers for everyday vaping.

And what ohms atomizers are you buying and what voltage are you using them on? Maybe it is your fault. Some people get VV or high voltage devices then try to put LR atomizers on them and POOF. Your atomizers should generally be ohms that are no more than 2.2 less than your voltage. And at the low end of that range you have a greater chance of killing them.

I only use atomizers for testing new juices and occasional vaping. For everyday I depend on cartomizers - I switch to a new one every 7-10 days (for me) and I have never killed one.

I see. It just seems like some times I can recreate that TH even long after I would think the primer would be gone. Thanks for your input. Maybe I'm expecting something that shouldn't be there. I did buy a disposable e cig because my battery died and I was desperate...and found that the throat hit was less so than my e cig. 300+ hits my .......that thing barely lasted me a couple of hours, but it did give me something to compare to.

I have to admit I don't know much about this. I buy my batteries from the same place as my atomizers, cignot. joye 510 batteries for the joye 510 atomizers. Guess I figured they were made for each other.

I have a drip tip for my 510...but I have to admit I can't seems to get it to work right either. Thanx for the info, I may look into that when I feel these things are finally dead and I need to re-buy. I would like to think I can still use these things. A lot of people do say they work for long periods of time with them.

Again, I use just the joy510 batteries from cignot and the same with the atomizers. Thanks, I'll look into the cartomizers as well.

Thanks for all the info guys.
