Question about 510-T atomizers

[ShortyBoo]

I've been using the 510-T for a little while now after switching from the regular 510 and overall I like it a lot better, but I'm noticing the atomizers don't last anywhere near as long as the 510 atomizers. Is this normal? They only last about 2 weeks for me where the 510 attys would last 4-6 weeks. With them being more expensive, I'm not too happy about this. I go through maybe 2 tank fulls of liquid a day and after about 2 weeks, I won't get much vapor or flavor, it runs really hot and the liquid gets thick and darker in color almost immediately after filling it. It also gets where I have to pull really hard to get anything, almost like trying to drink a really thick milkshake with a straw. Is there any way to make them last longer? I tried rinsing one out with water, but it didn't help.

What about the Ego-T? Do those last longer? I really like the size and weight of the 510 and didn't want to switch to another PV, but this is getting kind of expensive so if it would help, I'll probably switch. But I definitely like the tank system otherwise.

I've had the same prob with the ego-t tank, too. All of them that I ordered didn't last long at all. After cleaning them, they only lasted maybe 2 extra days before wimping out again. I think for me they only lasted a week before they weakened, but I vaped more than what you have. They seem to be just cartomizers with a tank instead of filler.

Damn. Well, I guess I'll have to go back to the regular 510, which means I wasted a lot of extra money buying the tank cartridges and atomizers when I could have just stuck to the original. If I had known the tank atomizers didn't last nearly as long (especially since they cost so much more) I would have never bought them. My last atomizer I just got on the 25th and it's already dying on me.

So now I need to place another order, but if I go back to the regular 510, I'll still have to buy atomizers and new carts since I used them all up before switching to the tank. But if I stay with the tank, I'll have to buy probably 4 atomizers a month which combined with the cost of juice, batteries and cartridges, and shipping, I'll be back to paying the same amount I was spending on cigarettes every month. This sucks. The main reason I switched to the tank was because the 510s kept leaking like crazy. They'd leak out from where the battery and atomizer connect which stained wherever it was sitting or my clothes if it was in my pocket and I'd constantly get a mouthful of juice or a dry hit. I'll have to think about what to do next.

Well, I ended up deciding to stick with the 510-T for now. I'll just have to cut back on something else in my budget to be able to afford it. I went ahead and ordered 4 more atomizers, so hopefully I'll be good until October.

I just started using the tank cartridge with my Joy 510's. I really really like them. Am worried/sorry about the possibility of them going bad so soon. I'll have to check this out and get back to you on how mine go.

One interesting thing: I acccidently put a regular cartridge onto a Tank atty. BOY did that give lots great vapor and a very easy draw!!! I had a regular Fluval filling in that cartridge. So just for the heck of it, I also tried it just directly dripping. Even MORE VAPOR and an easier draw.

Don't know if this is of any value to anyone -- expecially regarding the atty's dying, but just thought I'd mention it.

Anyone else have this experience???

Well, I just broke my record for shortest life of a 510-T atty. I just got my order on Tuesday, and it just burned out. So only 2 days of use. This one didn't die slowly like the others, either. I get NO vapor whatsoever and it doesn't heat up at all. I tried a different battery, and got the same result. I switched to another new atty, and it worked fine.
