Life of my 901 Atomizer

[Bayritex]

I didn't see a topic on "901's"--

The first atomizer I had lasted me almost a month, since then I have had 3 that only lasted 2 days and one that burned out in 12, yes, 12 hours. What am I doing wrong? I have loved becoming a "vaper" as opposed to a smoker, so I HAVE to figure this out. I really don't want to change brands as I live in a community that does not have a lot of options when it comes to me purchasing other brands of supplies. (We don't have a "vaping" community where I live...yet! Wish we did!!) Any hints that might help will be greatly appreciated. Are there things that my supplier isn't telling me about "how" to vape properly?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Found out the hard way $$$$ it was my USB pass through burning them out. Since I quit using it I haven't burned through another!!!
I really liked not having to mess with batteries but I am hesitant to try another passthrough.

I started on 901's (now at 801's) and had similar results. Some of it is (un)luck of the draw but you may be hitting them a bit too hard.
Most good passthru's will run at 4.2 - 5.0 volts and after a good 10 second draw, that atty is piping hot.

If that's the case for you, take shorting draws ~7 seconds and let it cool a bit in between. I also found that avoiding flooding can help there since the juice flows really good when hot.

If you have a consistent problem with the passthru's, look around for some HV (high voltage) 901's. With their higher resistance, you can push them harder without the same damage.

All of the original atomizers I got with my first order are still going strong and it's approaching 7 months now.

However, I only use regular batteries (3.7 volts) and a 3.7 volt PT.
