Running them constantly can shorten the life of them but if you've only been vaping for 4 days and have gone through several, that isn't normal. I usually take three pulls and let it cool for at least 30 seconds. I have a couple atties that have lasted me several months of heavy use. Hopefully some of the more experienced members will have some ideas.

Make sure your filler is high enough in the cart (should be just a hair under the cart rim) - if it wiggles down too far it wont make contact with the bridge and keep it moist.
Can't think of anything else off the top of my head right now - but its really really late here so I might be overlooking something obvious lol

Try switching back to the original filler material in the cart. Perhaps the PTB mod is causing the problem. If it is too dense or too long, it will push the bridge down and damage the atomizer.

At least that's what happened to me once. Did a dumb thing. I tried using a regular cigarette filter as the filler in the cart. Poof on the first draw.

Using a 510 here with a 510 atomizer; no mods.

I do the dry burn-off method every couple days with my 1st 2 atomizers. Been vaping since June 24. I vape a lot and really work them. Although I bought a few extras, I haven't touched them because these two are just movin' right along.

You could try making sure the atomizers are wet internally with at least 5 drops on the bridge, gotten hot and the liquid blown into/through...

Otherwise, it's your technique or who you're buying 'em from. I got mine for $7.00/US from heaven-gifts.com.

If you're huffing and puffing to generate vapor before finally inhaling, stop it. Change your ways right now. Old habits die hard. :2c:
