Is it just me or...

[sob80sup81]

... or does anyone else feel that some flavours kill atty faster than the others?

I have been vaping Vanilla with the same atty for abt 3 weeks till the atty blew out, changed to a new atty till vanilla flavor finished in abt 3-4 days and switch to Cafe Mocha n the atty died after 2 days of vaping. Changed to another new atty and it lasted abt 3-4 days till it died.

With naked eye all i see is that vanilla liquid is not as thick compares to Cafe Mocha, is it true and does it affect atty life cos logically thicker liquid produces more leftover ashes, doesn't it?

Hope anyone can help me with this... thanks

Maybe not the *flavor* but do you have a diff VG/PG ratio going on there? I have noticed certain juices (though not TV necessarily) gunk up my cartos more.

i have noticed pure PG gunks up more then PG mixed with a bit of VG (5-20%)...also clear juices always gunk less than coloured ones....but this is only me...i am using a 901 atm

PG/VG ratio for all my liquids are 90/10, i'm still using my good old brandless atomizers (don't ask me why i stocked them up back then) which i assume to be not as good compares to the branded ones so getting 2 weeks of its life for me is somehow miraculous.

Are you sure they're dead? If you didn't put a meter on them, you might want to. I've noticed that thicker juices will gum up the atty and make it seem dead. I revived one with a 20 minute soak in ETOH/PGA, hot-water rinse, then let dry.

I do not know about atomizers, but generally the dark colored juices clog my cartomizers at a much faster rate.

They are pretty much dead i believe, tried to check on meter for each of them for resistance and connection. Resistance jumped from 2.3 ohm or so to abt 9-10 ohm in days and no connection happen on the atty posts.

I guess with mwahle1's reply i know i'm not the only one to see this happen.

If your atty's are at 9 or 10 ohms they can be revived. Clean them really good or use the dry burn method.

Ah, sorry... didn't mean to say the supposedly dead ones are the ones with 9 ohms resistance, the dead ones shows nothing at all.

I'll give dry burn method a try though, thanks harpo


Btw, while waiting for more fail proof atties to come, which of these liquids would you guys recommend to keep my atties life slightly longer? (don't look at my liquid collection like i'm no fan of TV, i've just started )

1. Banana Foster
2. Butter Rum
3. Menthol
4. Tobacco

Any of Geoff's flavors with cinnamon in wear down my attys much quicker than anything else. They don't die, but they certainly don't perform as well as they should a few days after using that juice.

I find that a dry burn helps a little bit, but they never really go back to their original form.

I have noticed they dont wick as well as some other liquids.
