Keep an atomizer 'on' for an extended time

The shorter on time you allow, the longer the coil will last. I vape Boge cartos all the time with 8-10 second draws. I have had only one in over a year that popped a coil. I have had one 1.5 ohm Cisco style dripper atty blow a coil. That's the chance you take with low resistance coils. The higher the voltage, the higher the current, and the more likely a coil will fail.
If you want to vape for longer draws then get a higher resistance atty. DaveP is correct, though I take 6-8 second draws off my 2.2ohm joye attys with no problem at all. Keep it wet!
You are correct, in a sense. Current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. So, an increase in the voltage will increase the current as long as the resistance is held constant. So by increasing the potential of your power source, while not increasing the resistance...then that can certainly blow a coil.
In terms of the question from the OP... Heating your atty coil for long periods without cooling from e-liquid (dry burning) will certainly damage it faster....if not flat out blow it. However, taking 8-10 second drags while the coil has e-liquid cooling it will probably not cause it to fail much faster than it would if you were taking 5-6 second drags. Basically saying... Keep it wet.
