My first eGo-T type B LR atty death...

[badkarmaiii]

I've been running them since the end of May and cleaning with a Wal-Mart ultrasonic jewelry cleaner with great results.
Finally, one of my atties went south. The draw was ridiculously hard but, otherwise, it worked. I cleaned it relentlessly, to the point that the protective, clear finish and CigNot lettering were gone, leaving the bare stainless. Boiling, blowing, disassembly with dry-burning and ultrasonic cleaning overnight didn't fix it so I considered it dead.
Based on the symptoms, the thought occurred to me that something might be stuck in the air path so I ran hot water through it and blew it out backwards (opposite of inhale flow).
Well, shoot! The reverse blow-out cleared it and I'm vaping it right now, good as new!
With good cleaning, these things seem to last quite a while. I just got four more atties from CigNot so should be good-to-go for quite a while...

Thanks,
Lee

Is that a Type B tank atty or Type B cart atty?

Just curious.

Interesting.

I've been running my LR B tank for 7 weeks and have never had to clean it. It's also a "no warranty" from Cignot.
A few times I ran it almost dry (couldn't see any juice in the tank) but even this didn't destroy it.

Just ordered two more as backups. Greatest setup I've ever used.

The Type B LR is my favourite atty, its a vapour monster and can take so much abuse its not funny. I've never been able to blow one up. Eventually the element get clogged up with crap and vapor production drops, but that took me months to do.
