There are so many variables that could be listed but only having 15 options just won't cut it. I'll put up some more polls if people can let me know the different variables that need to be mentioned. I did originally place this in the General Discussions but within a few minutes it was moved.
Premature Atomizer Failure....

Crazy eh Pete, few will see it now it's been moved (the listing in general forum now does not include the word poll
Hi Kinaba...yes...unfortunately I bet it will have vanished out of sight even before 8 oclock tonight.
This was a great move; i applaud it
Only something like a questionaire with s sequence of multiple choice questions can give the full picture though.
Meant well maybe, but moving this poll was a seriously bad move.
Kin..a questionnaire with multiple choice would've been great but you are still limited to 15 options. The use of a poll would better demonstrate, in one easily viewable place, what the general consensus is as opposed to people randomly placing information throughout a thread...just my opinion.
I am more than willing to put up numerous polls...just give me the different variables involved.

This will probably need to be setup elsewhere. I'll think about it ...
I agree Pete, it would be nice if people would just take a second or two to contribute to this information that we are trying to gather. Or is it that only a few of us suffered from premature death of an atty, I think not.
This is premature, I know, but I see something already, with PG penstyle and other styles as well.
I have an 801, and am convinced the batteries do not deliver enough juice to vap to the 801's capability, and life of my batteries have been bad also. Have lost 4 or 5, lost track, in just over 2 months. That's too high a death rate to take for granted, and am convinced the attys foul prematurely also because of the batt. (have lost 3 attys). Am I crazy or is this being made apparent already?
Maybe its just that there are more penstyles in use, don't know that. And don't know percentage that use VG either. May not be enough info for good comparison. Lower numbers of VG users would scramble the data.

Hi Kate51...unfortunately it's so hard to be sure of anything with so few people bothering to make a poll.
I think there may be other new e-cig smokers out there who don't know how to answer the poll because we haven't been vaping long enough to know for sure why ours quit. I have only had one quit, but have only been on e-cigs for less than a month - also was using original carts with PG for awhile and now cutting my nicotine juice with Glycerine (Wilcox brand from Michael's) so unsure which thing might have made a difference - or if it was just me being too new to the e-cig and what I was doing. I figure my answer might skew the poll as I really don't know yet what I was doing. Just lost one battery today (or maybe tips from the forum I have gotten will revive it, not sure yet). I smoke DSE 801 Penstyle - also have a 501 but can't quite get the carts right to enjoy, still working on it.

I see what you mean Darlene unfortunately there are so many variations possible that it is difficult to make a poll that will cover them all. That's why it's hard to pin anything down.
I believe there's an optimum voltage for each atomizer and that both under and over voltage could lead to premature failure.
Over voltage by overheating (exaccerbated by heat insulating deposits and physical restraint of normal expansion).
Under voltage by not vaporising the juice fully.
Sadly, the optimum is only a minimum in the combined effects; with nearly all present juices, some deposit formation is unavoidable.
Certainly there is a good case for voltage regulation of the atomiser power supply, if not also temperature control.

This poll is interesting in that I expected the highest number of failures to be from using 5v+ devices. There is a learning curve to high-voltage vaping. What I am seeing in this poll may be that some atomizers just die. Why? There are so many reasons. This is curious since high-voltage can certainly fry an atty very easily till you figure out how to do it well, but folks using conventional power sources are seeing more failures. I am still uncertain what conclusion could be deducted from the poll, thus far.
I'm not sure what conclusions can be obtained from this poll either. I was trying to post a number of them to come up with, maybe, a common reasoning for premature failure.
Its funny that, so many people have looked at this thread but are unwilling to participate. Is it that they have never suffered a premature failure, or that they just don't care?
Actually, I am surprised that so many failures were suffered during the use of PG while using a standard battery, I would have thought the opposite...VG and hi voltage.
I just wish more people would participate..it only takes a second or two..I guess asking people to participate in the other polls would cause a brain hemorrhage or something.

Hi vapourize....I have tried to keep the poll from going into oblivion ....but it hasn't helped much.
I gave this a sticky for everyone here in the Experiments section so that it does not get lost as it does pertain to equitment and reserach --Sun
Well done sun....I have been trying to keep bringing it back into 'todays posts'
