Pfffft, POP! Dammit.

Yep, we all know the sound. Blown 510 atty

Unfortunately, it happened one after the other 4 times in a row this morning!!!

After the 2nd one, I tried the next two on my Protege first and they worked. Popped 'em on my SB at 6v and POP... dead!

I love higher voltage vaping, but sometimes it can be a PITA

5th one worked like a charm, but now it's time to order more attys if I can find any vendor in the US that has them in stock ready to ship!

I've been wondering if breaking an atty in at 3.7V, then using it at 6V after a few days may be a solution to this?

I use my attys on everything from 3.7 to 5v and 6v. They were just probably at the end of their lifespan.

Sadly though, one was almost new, only had maybe an hour's worth of vaping off of it before it popped.

That sux.
And I've been meaning to ask you, what is that skull you have there. What's it made of and where'd you get it? Me likey!

Got it from an art store locally (Michael's) in their Halloween section.
