Well, here it is, 3 months to the day I started vaping.

Now, where does it say that an atomizer only last a few weeks? :confused: After three months, I only lost two atomizers. The Smoking Everywhere wimp went out in three weeks, even though the guy at the mall booth said they "were built like the Space Shuttle" He must have been referring to Challenger and Columbia. I never replaced it but the batteries are still good. My Ol' Sparky DSE103 atomizer, first one I've used seriously, lasted about a month and a half, and the two I've been rotating since Ol' Sparky died have been going strong since. And I have 8 others still in the bubble wrap ready to go.

Only real gripe I have is my dse103 USB pass through died in less than a month. Bah.

Anyways, it's been a very good 3 month run so far. Tell us your success story.

Outside of that, it's been more than satisfactory

43 days for me, and the only battery and atomizer I've bought for my 510 are still going strong. And I do absolutely no cleaning or anything else. Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself ><

My pcc, on the other hand, completely crapped out. No amount of pressing or ghetto rigging will charge my battery. Its basically an expensive paperweight.

I've had only 2 that went to the grave (actually back to China), and I got those from a trade from someoneonhereIwillnotmention. The others are still kicking .... Like you, BigJimW "from is RI a real state", I've been rotating two on a regular basis. I thought one was a goner last night since I kept dropping it. After cleaning it and putting it aside, I began dropping the battery. Bad, bad, bad night for my poor e-cig.

It does make me wonder though if the two I'm using keep going like the Energizer bunny, when will I ever get to my spares?

Will they die from neglect? 8-o

I have had pretty good luck with my attys (knock on wood) Except when I am testing mods or flavors i run into a bunch of problems. Everyday use I have been good to go. I believe the trick is keep the cart WET. Any sign of weak vapor production i always top off the cart. i also have a 103 and YES it is a pain in the ... filling those tiny carts i do it regularly. Been workin for me.. ;)

3 weeks for me on my original 510 atty and still going strong... It is wanting to lean a bit I guess due to the fact it got a little to hot. Still works like a dream though (knocks on wood)

Span take a q-tip and a smidge of alcohol and clean the connection in your PCC to the battery. Hope that does the trick for ya... they get a lil dirty after a while, and if you have never cleaned your battery connections definatley do so. I find after cleaning the terminals on both battery and atty, the performance improves slightly, but you can notice it.

3 901 Batts from Nov 2009 still going strong. From Litecig USA
1 RN4075 Atomizer( from Puresmoker ) ordered in Feb still working
like new and produces more vapor than my 501. This atomizer works like the energizer bunny. My 3 other RN4075 & 901's atomizers average life 3 months.
501 Batts & atomizers from May still working good.
Only bad luck my 901 USB passthrough died after 2 months.

Three months to the day for me.

Started on a cheapo which still functions but lacks punch. Then got a titan and a gamucci micro at the same time. Micro was used for about 30 minutes then consigned to its box for a rainy day. Still carry the titan around with me, 3 dead atomisers, 2 dead batterys on that. Other parts going strong. 901 with 2 dead batteries and 1 dead atomiser, other parts going strong.

But now I mainly use Gary's torch mod at home (with 901) and Janty stick v2 when out and about, with a 510 in reserve.

Saving up for a 601 Pipe for those rocking chair in the back yard moments :)

2 months today! My original SE-POS is now my double secret backup (with an extra atty). Purchased an NJOY 801 not long after, and pretty much have stuck to that. TW had a great deal on a 5 pack of atty's so I got that as well. Anxiously awaiting my TW Titan. Shipped on Friday a.m., USPS said it left KC on Saturday. Still not here, I'm assuming they put in on a horse at this point.

It's been a little over 2 months since I've started. Can't say that I've stopped smoking analogs all together but I can say that I've cut down significantly since then. Despite the fact that I'm about a half pack a day during the weekdays, I'm closer to about a pack a day on the weekends/holidays (especially on marching days).

Recently, I've cut down to about less than a half a pack on the weekends combined so I basically went from 2 packs per weekend to about 6-8 analogs per weekend, which means I've cut down from an average of about 12 per day to about 5, a difference of about 7 analogs per day...a real accomplishment for me! I do intend to completely quit but not...but I'm trying!

I'm not sure exactly why I'm still smoking analogs other than to admit that I still enjoy it and I"m still trying to find a good menthol flavor as my primary reasons. One of the other reasons is that refilling/replacing carts while driving is not the easiest thing to do at 60+ mph (lol!).
