LR Atomizer Lifespan @ 3.7V vs. Standard @ 5V+

[Plooker]

Don’t know why I waited so long but I just started using LR 510s and I’m in love. So awesome to be able use my SD again (love that f-ing thing)


Anyway, I’m wondering about the lifespan of the LR attys. I hear many people saying they die a lot quicker. Then I started thinking that maybe people are killing them by using them out of their voltage range. Seems to me if the relative voltage to resistance is the same, it shouldn’t matter if you’re doing high volt/higher resistance or LV/LR. But just cuz it seems true don’t make it so unfortunately.


Seems like you could use variable voltage and find a sweet spot where you’d get pretty much the same lifespan out of any atty of the same style, whether it’s HR, SR or LR. Anyone know if that’s true? Or does the way the LR attys are constructed make them die sooner no matter what?

Hi Plooker

I use LR 901 atties (never been a fan of 510's) on my GG's at 3.7v. When they start to wimp out after a few weeks I then use them on an e-cig city (Garry Dibbly) passthru @ 5v via a 2Amp usb mains hub, & usually get a couple of more weeks use out of them that way.

I think your correct. I use lr atties on 3.7 with high drain ba tterries and std 3.o ohm atties at 6 volt and they seem to have the same life expectancy. The longest lasting atties I have used are the cisco lr 306, I've had them for a few months and they still work like new. I was tryng to push one to the limmit when I was dry burning and its one tough attie still cranks!

Lately all I've been doing is dripping so I'll give the cisco 306 a try. I don't mind dripping at home but on the go...not so much. I loved my ego tank except for the lack of taste and TH. But it work extremely well. I pray that someone will come out with something as good for other atomizers.

Two weeks? Ouch. I like the PT idea though, I'll keep that in mind when the LR I have start dying.
