Longest Lasting Atty Competition

[DC2]

I have been using my current standard 510 atomizer exclusively for 7 months and 3 weeks.

Prior to that I was alternating it with another 510 atomizer.
Prior to that I was alternating it with that other 510 atomizer and two 306 atomizers.

So I have been using this atomizer for a very long time.
I started using it exclusively once I started doing hot water rinse/dry burns as my only cleaning method.

But you have to keep in mind that I only vape about 1ml or less each day.
And I only vape at 3.7 volts.


EDIT: Complete history of my atomizer use is in post #14 of the following thread...

You are 10 days ahead of me!

LOL yes, and I'm the second from the bottom. hmmmm

I've got a couple of 306 attys that have really surprised me with how long they've kept going.
-a regular 306, been using it pretty much daily for a little over 5 months now. Mostly at 5V. On it's last legs, though.
-an Cisco LR 306 that has been going strong for 3 months now, still cranks too!
I clean both with a hot water rinse and dryburn only (yep, the LR one too) and it's treated me very well. Although, like DC2, I rarely vape more than 1 ml/day., and likewise use 3.7...

Shoutouts:

okio - 1 year, 2 months (510)
dmnall - 9 months (510)
dc2 - 7 months, 3 weeks (510)
Xanax - 7 months, 2 weeks
mcvapor - 5 months, 3 weeks (510)
moshmarr - 5 months (306)

Do we have an estimate geekchick? ​

I'de have to guess aout the same. Any more than 1ml is a great day but sometimes I don't get a change to vape as much as I want to

3 months for a LR atty is great! I've only heard nothing but good things about Cisco attys

 

[Xanax]

xanax do you clean your atty?

Yes, only with hot water flushes. Nothing else. Btw MC- my atomizers are all 510. Also 4 months on my LR's (510 as well)

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Just over two years on a Ruyan cigar (atomizer built into body). Its not a great vapour producer, and in fact never was, but I love the taste of Ruyan cartridges every now and again.

ya i'm thinkin that's what i'm gonna stick to. was contemplating heating up distilled water even.

[WomanOfHeart]

I thought I was doing really well until I read this. I only have 6 510 attys, but they're all still going strong after 2 months of solid use from both me and my fiance!

All 6 of my 510 Megas are a little over 6 weeks old and still going strong, too!

Distilled water would be perfect. I just use tap water but if I had distilled water on hand I would have used that every time from the start. I don't get why people say "omg NEVER use water that's the worst thing you could use" it's bull**** because that's what's kept my atomizers going this long. Not ONE has died on me since I started vaping about 7 months ago. And also people who say LR's only last a week or two on average obviously don't know how to take good care of their LR's heheh.

Oh and another thing- I try to stick to clear juices only. If I use dark juices I just rinse them out a little more often. I also only use PG juices unless (like right now) my current favorite has VG in it.

 

[tybin]

i use vg but i just started doin diy and the batches came out so nice and clear

 

[kvesicgirl]

I am on a month.....keep the atty wet...juice is cheaper than atty's! I add a drop or two after every 10-12 hits.

 

[GeekChick]

Yeah, 11 months to be exact.

You hit the nail on the head with that one! Could not have said it better even if I hired a writer.

Whoever has the longest lasting Atty wins!


I'm going on month 6 soon of my RY4 only atty. Intake slowing down (a lot) but still running!

I went near 7 months with a 510 atty. It stopped producing vapor consistently this past summer. Still it went from November 2009 to July 2010.... it has a special resting spot in my desk.

Did you give it a name?

 

[5cardstud]

My x is still vaping the attys I got in Jan. when I started vaping. Same batteries too. By the way I got the kit from the girls at cignot. That's a couple days over 10 mo., they sell good kits.

 

[cskent]

I've got one of my original standard 510's from the starter kit that I got back in July and I'm still using it. I did set it aside for about a month after it started performing poorly, found it and did a dry burn and it's performing like a champ. So I guess that would make it about 4 1/2 months old, but it did get a vacation.

 

[Jp Infante]

My first 510 atty is still running good with nightly drains and a cleaning once a month, I don't care much for the vendor so I wont be giving them free props, but I did buy it in September 2009. my 901's never lasted more than a week, but my 801 atty from November 2009 is still running and leaking juice every where.

really want to know the vendor!! Can you please tell me?

 

[MitchellBeans]

The longest I went with one atty was from Nov 2009 to July 2010 ... what a trooper. Sad to see it go.

It holds a special place in one of my desk drawers. It is a 510 atty from my first kit, and shows the signs of wear and tear - most of the paint has chipped off and the bridge inside looks all sorts of twisted.

 

[DarKm4773r]

First off, love you're Ubuntu avatar! Mine has lasted me about 9 months with the first 5 months of constant(And I mean CONSTANT) use. The last 4 months have been every 1-3 days. BTW, I use a 510 stock setup.
