Long Term Atomizer Storage

What is the best way to store atomizers for a long duration of time? I know the first one I ever got was the cats ars. Got a new one from a friend who no longer vapes and it was never used. Seemed like the primer dried and was in no way like the new one I first got so im assuming it wasn't stored properly.

I know people here get 10, 20, even 30 atomizers for backup. How do you store them so when you go to get the last one say in 4 months, it performs like brand new?

I just make sure their wet with PG or VG and store in an air tight container. They seem to keep just fine that way.

 

[Overlord]

So just put a drop or 2 of PG on them and a zip lock bag will do?

I would imagine this would need to be done every week or so eh

 

[d0kieSmok]

yeah, just make sure there wet w/ pg, and free of water. the only enemy of stored attys is oxygen.

Crap, I've been collecting attys for months and placed them in a plastic container but did little else to them. Does this mean I've killed my unused back-ups?

Unused should still have the stuff they put on at the factory. That's all that's needed. Still store them in an airtight container.
I put them in a plastic bottle with those little moisture things. Then I put them in a baggie.

As long as the Atomizers are kept dry when storing they will be fine

Thanks...I'm relieved!

In my humble newb opinion, corrosion/oxidation is the enemy of metals. The enemy of plastics is drying out.

I am pretty sure that oil will prevent both, but I'm not sure of PG or VG. But, I don't know how oil will interact with the wick over time, and it may not be easy to clean off when you are ready to use the atty.

I have thought about this, as I am planning to really stock up in case of an FDA ban on E-cigs.

i have 50 510 attys, and find they last from 1-2 months. I still feel like i need more.

What is the "moisture thing" you are talking about? And by air tight does that mean like a vacuum sealed bag? Thanks!

by airtight I think of a bag or container vacuumed sealed and all oxygen evacuated.

 

[Overlord]

well, i've just put 1 drop of PG on the bridge and put them all in a ziplock bag. Squeezed all the air out.

Hope this works

This is the same thing Ruyan says according to another member who asked them.
