Trog, check knutselpeter's video of using an E-Cig e-pipe. That's the same pathetic wisp of vapor I got. Guess he got a bad one, too. I'm not ordering 10 on the chance I might get one good one!'
i ordered six and got six good ones.. i assume my six good ones dont kinda count in the "knutselpeter's" world.. on the probability factor its more like my six all producing lots of smoke count more for the average performance than your single one or the dutch guys single one..
six out of six good ones is good enough for me.. not one out of ten.. how long they continue to work i dont know as yet.. by good ones i mean ones that produce lots of easy to get vapour..
as regards how long they last.. one produced lots of smoke then died instantly after about a week of very heavy use (say 7000 puffs) the veteran of
three weeks heavy use has now gone wimpish..
some abusive heavy maintenance was carried out on the poor chap.. first the hot soak and wash.. second a 100 psi air blast was fed
thru the poor bugger.. third he was overvolted to six volts to heat the atomizer up cherry red..
amazingly enough he has survived the abuse.. but is still wimpish unless got just right..
our conclusion.. he is as tough as an old boot but his atomizer isnt getting hot enough to work reliably any more on the voltage a normal battery will supply..
he works superbly on five volts.. in fact most of the wimpish cigs do.. give them some overvolting and out comes the smoke..
praps this happens to all good atomizers after 20,000 odd puffs.. i think it probably does..
this of course goes back to the question none of these people will answer..
How many puffs per atomizer
