I think I am doing something wrong

[zadane]

I've been vaping for nearly a month now and have not killed a single atty or carto.

Infact I've been using 2 different 2 ohm cartos for about 2 weeks now. and they both still work like champs.

so what I am doing wrong here? everyone else seems to kill them every week or two

I have been vaping for 9+ months. I still have 3 of my original 5 attys and they are still working just fine.

whoo hoo I'm not the only one doing something wrong lol

I've been vaping since June and have only had 3 die on me. Not too bad considering I don't clean them or anything until they taste funky.

I've been vaping for 4 months now and I still have 5 of the original 6 atomizers I bought. The one I lost was the victim of my first de-bridging attempt, so it doesn't count. You must be doing something RIGHT!

I've been using the same 6 attys (in rotation) for the last 4 months and haven't blown one yet. Sounds like you're doing fine to me.

I found my joye atomizers lasted about 2 months...the generic ones lasted drastically less. So there's manufacturing quality as 1 reason.

Beyond that - ive found high VG juices clog much more easily. As a result, its easy to burn out an atty unintentionally.

And ive found (due to my own ineptitude) - after cleaning - drench that bloody thing in juice. A clean atty is at the greatest risk to burn out in my experience.

And the ohms will make a difference (though im still not sure why) - 1.5ohm vs 3ohm...the durability is hardly comparable.

And the last factor is simply how often you vape. If you're going through 4ml+ a day - you have to clean more often then someone using 2ml a day.

My latest shipment of attys is current en route...so, heres hoping i can have the kind of success pkj had. Ill have enough atomizers to last me 9 years!

Etch - the higher the ohm rating, the cooler they burn. Lower ohms in an atty will burn hotter and have a shorter life span.

I've only had 1 atty die since August. It was my original one that I started with. It was heartbreaking to have to send him to atty heaven...sniff...he went through alot with me. I miss the little fella.

Well, that must mean we are doing something right.

from what i've seen a-lot of people are only able to make their atty last around 1-2 weeks

I don't do anything special besides clean my attys once or twice a week.

except i don't let them air dry. I blow dry them clean

I killed about 10 in my first two months vaping. I think alot of it had to do with low quality juice. I lost one LR since then. I got a 5 pack of some regular atomizers that were advertised as Joye and for sure were not . I wrote the supplier a letter and he deleted my account. But now like 4 and half months later they are still going strong like the energizer bunny. I have been vaping them @ 5 volts since day one. I make my own juice now so i everything thats in it is high quality and pure really the only thing different then when i started.

LR 510s only last me about a week, but they dont really die.. they just get really weak so I am always inclined to slap a new one on there. I get them in bulk from china to save $. I've got a big pile of weak attys that I can always go to if somehow they stop imports

I've been at this about 2 months and am still using the originals. Have cleaned them a couple of times with dish soap and hot water. I do have plenty of back ups just in case (I'm kind of a heavy hitter when I'm at home). Vape on!!!

 

[zadane]

from what I've been reading you don't want to be using dish soap... it will leave a film on your atty and you will end up vaping that. it might be bad for you...

I've been at it a couple of months and only lost one due to my own fault. Did the "dry burn" and couldn't get rid of the burnt taste. I rinse them out with hot tap water every week or two.

Guess I'm doing something wrong too, haven't had an atty die yet in over four months. I only use cartos for driving and when I'm out and about and its more convenient that refilling my carts so the amount they get used varies a lot on different days but a carto easily last me 4 weeks before the taste starts to get a bit harsh and its time to toss it out and start over with a new one. Haven't had a carto actually die on me or get a nasty burnt taste yet.
