Someone remind me, how much do analogue cigarettes cost again?

I must admit, i think its unfair to a certain extent when people expect everything at once - i mean you want atomizers that burn hotter, and batteries that last longer - which is a contradiction in itself, and now you also want it to last longer? =)

You cant have it all! Trust me, if it was possible to make a cost efficient solution for the LR atomizer that would be able to keep up the "abuse", then warranties would be put on them: But vaping styles are SO different. If everyone cleaned their atomizers, and did not vape 12 second drags for 6 hours nonstop, then it would be possible - but its not!

So in order to avoid ruining ourselves ( and this is the same for all other companies ) we need to go by the majority : and the majority unfortunately kills an LR every 2-4 weeks. It is by far possible to keep them alive for longer - but you need to take care of them, and you need to not pulse nonstop on them.

Or you can do what i do: Have an eGo with the LR atty for those special times ( morning coffee, good movie etc) and then have an eGo with a normal atty that is my main vape.

In Euro/French store, 5 pack batteries have zero guarantee (after 24h DOA) !

In 2 weeks, 3 out of 5 died ... not a good deal for me.

That sounds .. weird to be honest. They are the exact same batteries as the standard ones. You must have been very very unlucky =/

No lie, i am still running on the first two ego batts i got way back when..

... and that about sums it up rather nicely. If that doesn't do it, there is always the expensive analogs :evil: which I am sure will cure whatever ails ya!

Hey hey.

Not sure my banner is working anymore - for some unknown and/or weird reason - but today is my 1 year :toast: !!!

Thanks Janty!!!!


Congrats nubee:vapor:

I quit this year the day before TAX day! Couldn't bring myself to add any more $ to the leviathan. Easy to remember.


PS: I didn't mean to have the thumbs down icon at the top of this post--- I didn't realize it was selected at the time of composition. I'm new to forum living ( translation-- gray hair ). :)

Speaking of cleaning, interesting fun fact here...as mentioned a few days back, I'm currently vaping with my first Janty LR and I decided to see if a little care and feeding would extend the little fella's life expectancy. So, I've been doing a little cheap and dirty cleaning (as in blow) job periodically. First time I did this, there was quite a bit of fluid build-up in the atty and I blew and I blew and I - well, you get the idea - until it was pretty much dry. Popped on my PTB mod and damned if I didn't get the harsh-burn-short-on-flavor phenomenon just like what you typically experience when firing up a brand new LR atty!

Now, I'm not a rocket scientist but I take this experience to mean that the "mellowing out" I typically see with an LR over time is therefore due to the natural residual fluid buildup one normally sees without regular cleaning. Net-net, I'm still blowing occasionally, er, I mean cleaning, but I don't blow/clean to excess. Appears to strike a nice balance, all things considered. Latest LR is currently still going strong so it will be interesting to see how much, if at all, my current cleaning regimen improves typical LR lifetimes...
