Leaky Atomizers - what to do?

[vernhall]

Long time vapor (well, about 3 years) and have a problem that's kind of long-term - leaky atomizers/cartomizers...

I admit I'm still a fairly heavy vapor so my 'mizers get used more than most I'd guess, but it still seems to me that they should last longer than the 3-4 days they seem to... What can be done to prolong their life before they start leaking like a sieve? Anything?

upgrade to an rta ( rebuildable tank Atomizer) take a look at kayfun, Aqua, Goblin. Get a feel for them at a B&M do the touchy feely thing... then order from an online site ( to save money) ...

What are you using???? Some atomizers are more leaky than others... I do not think there is a leak proof atomizer available. Just some that can be made to be less leaky, and methods to reduce occurances of leakage.

If they only last a couple of days, then I would imagine that the juice you're using is the problem.
Dark sweet flavors gunk up quickly. For example I have a caramel/chocolate/hazelnut that is soooooooo good. I call it "atty killer".

What kind of clearomizers or other atomizer are you using? Generally if you buy cheap, you get cheap.

Lighter the e-liquid(and less sweet) the longer the Atty/Carto will last.
I have even flushed and recycled

My average with a medium light liquid in Boge 2.0 is 7-10 days - and it is pretty much done. As particles separate they clog filler and build on the coil itself.

Rebuildable Tanks are a better choice for cost effective vaping, many no more than the cost of (3) 5 packs of carto's. Unfortunately they are not always the convenient choice.
