I must be doing something VERY wrong

Ok, so somehow I've managed to burn through TWO atomizers in less than a week. I've been reading about how people are getting around 4+ weeks out of their attys. So what am I doing wrong? I've got a JOYE eGo and it came stock with a couple 510 atomizers. I've noticed that I do tend to vape on the hot side (which I've read is a quick way to kill an atty). But I figured there are still some things I can learn. I'm really hoping this new habit will save me money (I used to smoke about a pack of analogs a day...btw, my handle is in reference to music...not cigs, hehe). So, any recommendations as to what I should do each day, etc...where to buy atomizers in the future. Thankfully I ordered a pack of blank cartos that I'm filling currently. Thanks for any help.

I've had atomizers last me one day and some that still work after a year of use. Obviously the old ones aren't like brand new atty's, but they still function.

Some people claim that darker liquids kill atomizers faster. I say claim because I haven't experienced this personally, but there may be some truth behind certain liquids being harder on the atty than others. Your problem is probably just bad luck. Try ordering them from a different vendor, and make sure you keep them nice and wet.

I offered up this video clip to another new user in hopes that something useful would be found. attys do have their place in vaping, so understanding a little bit about them is always a good thing. I hope this offers some ideas for you!

Awesome, thanks guys! I think I may stick with the carto method. I like the idea of atty's as they SEEM to be a more economical solution, but my luck hasn't proved that. Plus, being new to vaping, I'm finding I do it A LOT...far more than I smoked....it's just too convenient.

Any recommendations on cartos? I'm using BUD cartos from PureSmoker. I got some vanilla juice from them as well. this weekend I picked up Tennessee Cured from Johnson Creek which I really like...possibly gonna be my main juice. Besides having a dud carto these seem to be holding up alright. Is it safe to say you can probably get 2-3 days out of each one? At the end of the day, is there a "best way" to store them? Thanks again.

Sometimes it's just luck of the draw.

I have atomizers I still use that I got with my first kit 8+ months ago. I've also managed to kill a few within an hour or so.

As for cartos, I prefere the standard Boges. Of all I have tried, they taste the best (although not as good as dripping on an atty). Depending on the juice, I usually get a week out of them before I notice a really bad drop off in flavor/vapor.
