I can say 2 things about this:
1st -> use them both. Why? use one for a week, at the weekend, soak it in pure vodka and use the other atty in the meantime.
When it is clean take it out from the vodka and let it dry out until the weekend when you will clean the one you were using.

2nd -> Since i will be know here as the tank-killer...I HATE tanks! Get some 510 LR attys. tanks give out colder vapor,less flavour and less TH. Don't want to have bottles in the pocket for dripping? (you already had bottles with you...the tanks...but whatever) Get some cartos...BOGE, LR or Dual Coil.
I never found a good tank and i think i never will.

i normaly use onre till it pops but its always good to at least give the backup some play just to make sure when the current atty pops u r not stuck with a dud happened to me once i was friggin miserable

That's why i have a week between uses. The atty will dry in a day or so. That way if there is an emergency just order a new one and will arrive before the week ends or on the next.
I never burned an atty till today...all of mine are working from day 1 (the ones that worked i mean. Because i already have some DOA's spreading around)

With atties, I use them until they either die or get so gunked up the juice starts tasting funky. With cartos, I usually keep 2 or three filled with different liquids and swap them around during the day.

I even have one dual coil carto specifically for my eGo battery because it does not get along at all with my provari...E2 errors all over the place.

I was wondering what was the best method in terms of atty lifetime. I have 2 ego-t attys, should I rotate them or just use 1 till it dies then use the 2nd one?

Thanks!

I tend to use a Carto or Atty straight thru instead of rotating all of them. That way I know I have some Brand New ones as backups when one dies.

As to backup. I would suggest you pick up a handfull of what ever type of atty's you use. Having 2 or 3 is a recipe for disaster. I've had attys die in a shorter time that it takes to reorder and get them thru the mail.

Thanks man! Yeah, I planned for this switch without knowing about this site and made some mistakes. 2 attys makes me nervous too. :facepalm: Between orders from HealthCabin and heaven gifts (assuming HG is not a fraud site as Firefox claims) , I have about a dozen new attys coming. These need to just hold on for a couple weeks till they get here :).

I rotate mine out, I have about 6 atty's now, and two of them, believe it or not, are from modern vapor that I got last Aug, when I started! I have the 'normal' Ego's and on Saturday am, I take the atty's and carts out, put in the ones I cleaned the weekend before and rotate them. I notice that if I use them for more than a week at a time, they aren't as powerful, then with a rest they are fine.
