My attys came in today

[Bamboo]

My attys came in today and WOW what a difference it makes! I can finally use my drip tip. I am vaping on a sample of English Toffee which I love. I am wondering about how long does a atty last and how how many is a good supply to have on hand? I hope all is well with everyone.

Hiya Bamboo....what kind did you get? It makes a difference if there regular or LRs and the brand too.

 

[Sterno]

how long your atty will last depends on what brand and how hard you vape i like to have 3 or 4 spares on hand cisco and ikenvape are favorites on the reos

 

[hairball]

Keep at least 3 extra atty's. Longevity varies. I've have some that are over 3 months old and I had some that died within 2 weeks.

 

[unsure]

The lower resistance the shorter the longevity.

 

[Bamboo]

I ordered mine from vaporflow. I posted a few days ago. I vape pretty steady this english toffee is just wow. I ordered to attys from them. Before my attys came in I was using a cartomizer for like two weeks. I think I will order more from cisco and ikenvapes. I am still just blown away. Feel like I am using my mini for the first time...again ahh the flavor!

The lower resistance the shorter the longevity.

I believe I ordered lr 510

Generally, the lower the resistance, the shorter the life-span. That is because the lower the resistance, the hotter the atomizer. Two things will kill an atomizer: overheating and dryness. Running an atomizer too hot, or taking multiple hits while the atomizer hasn't had a chance to cool down, shortens the atomizer's life-span. Running an atomizer "dry", without sufficient juice, shortens the atomizer's life-span. When you are first getting used to using an atomizer, you will kill them faster. As you get better at it, your atomizers will get clogged before they eventually die (and that's another story )

 

[Bamboo]

Yes I am always making sure its wet. I did find it getting hot tho. I just looked at ikenvapes and they are out of stock. I am gonna order 2 more from Cisco.

Try the Ikens ! put your name in the notify me now box on the page the Atty is on that you want. These are awesome Attys and his HV-510's and all HV's of his are the best on the planet by far from my experience. His 2 ohm's are also dam good.!

My atty died today while I was still at work. I didn't have any spares with me. I cannot express how much that sucked.

I now have a box of five brand new LR cartos in my truck. In a pinch, I can screw one on, squonk it full of juice, and keep on vaping.

I've been favoring an Eastmall LR 510 lately because my IKV 801's are either dying or going way up in resistance. I think my cleaning protocol needs tweaking.

 

[mlinky]

That sucks BIG TIME! *shudder* I'm so sorry.

I had that same trouble with my last batch of ikv 1.8ohm mini 801s. I took a break from using them after 3 in a row died prematurely. I switched to using some lr 901s i had on the shelf (a cisco 2ohm and an ikv 2ohm), but i really like how the 801s work a lot more... now i've got a 2 ohm cisco 801 going... it's a nice 801 atty.

While i had trouble with the ikv lr 801, i've had great success with the ikv hr 801... that thing lasted months on my 6v mod... just retired it a couple of days ago after using it since january. And it had been performing wonderfully (big tasty clouds of vapor) throughout that entire time, but it finally quit working after i blew it out a couple of days ago. I've screwed a new hv guy on and it's working great so far. I think instead of blowing them out, i should let them drain by gravity.

Another LR 801 that i've used with good results is the 2ohm BE 801 (from indyvapor.com).

I've got a spare lr 510 stashed in my car too.

I am reporting that I was happily vaping my Woodvil when suddenly, NOTHING. Checked on/off switch. NOTHING. Changed battery. NOTHING. Starting to get sour taste of panic in my mouth. Pulled out the handy-dandy multimeter, tested the atty. NOTHING, but this time, "nothing" as in no reading. Changed atty, clouds of vape, crisis averted. Whew...

I love it when you do that!

LOL....You should have seen me at my friends house the other night....seriously, I can't believe I did this a second time!!! Always remember to make sure the atty is screwed on properly...or it won't work! MX had to grab it and found the error of my ways

I understand. It's that moment of panic...

Hmmm, ordered my normal joye 306lr's from GP's and some IKV 2.0's, and some ciscos within minutes of each other... The GP, and Ciscos were shipped the next morning and due for delivery tomorrow. The IKV still shows as order "pending". This was my first oder with cisco and Issac (ikv) BUT, if thats indicative of what the shipping times are I know who'll be getting my business in the future. I grow tired of having to inquire on my orders status with several vendors I've used. I'm still looking forward to a side-by-side comparrison of these "best of the best" attys...

While the product may be a "10" but thus far...the shipping time is NOT... I'll give them untill tomorrow, which will be 5 days and then I will cancel my order unless they provide a tracking number showing its shipped prior to the cancellation. It really po's me when things are listed in stock and aren't...

Just received a 5 pack of EM Riva 510 LR (titanium color) attys today from Liberty Flights. Multimeter reads between 1.7 - 1.8 ohms on each. So far I'm diggin' the performance. Thick plumes! Using an AW IMR 18650 batt. Another COOL thing about these attys that caught me by surprise is that the "titanium" color actually has a subtle brass tint that matches the catch cup. Was totally expecting something more chrome or silver-ish...
