Screwdriver

[anmldr]

I just wanted to post some comments for the Screwdriver. I have had mine since early June. I know from using the 901 that the atomizers are supposed to be disposable. I went through several of them in a short amount of time. I purchased a bunch of them at about the same time that I purchased the Screwdriver (different source). I also started dripping at the same time.

Here is the point. I have been using the same 901 atomizer since I started using the Screwdriver (and started dripping). So, either this is a darn fine atomizer, the dripping makes it last longer...or, this is what I suspect...the Screwdriver doesn't burn up the atomizers as quickly.

So, the Screwdriver may be more expensive than the 901s but it sure has saved me a lot of money on the purchase of replacement atomizers.

Just in case all of these e-cigs become illegal in the USA, I purchased 2 backup Screwdirvers. I think that it is a great investment for me. I'll put them away for my future use in case I lose one or break one.

So, here is a two thumb's up for the Screwdriver.

Thanks Trog.

The 'Screwdriver' while it may be a fine piece of hardware is nothing more than a battery case. As it's been discussed on here several times.

A battery is a battery whether it's in a screwdriver, a Prodigy, a FOG LOG, a Silver Bullet, a Magnum, a Grenade, a Hurst T-Handle, a stuffed animal, an old slipper, or a dead parakeet.

The only variable here is what atomizer, and what voltage.

The rest is all personal preference.


* No, I have no plans to mod a dead parakeet as of yet. However LED eyes, and a beek activated switch might look..... ok, that's enough!

I've found that just letting the atty cool off when it gets hot seems to help.
I think the 901 attys tend to run a lot cooler than the 510's.

I never lost a 901 atty using the Screwdriver but did on the basic 901 and the Prodigy. It may just be a bigger battery holder but I had the same experience and I have read the same from others. I think with the 901, a manual switch keeps the coil cleaner and thus it last longer as long as the voltage doesn't go too high.

901 atomisers do run cooler than 510s they also run cooler than the RN4075 atomisers that come with the SD.

My RN4075 atomisers last 2 - 3 weeks.....
I dont drip, wash them, blow them out or drain them unless I have to.

Isn't most every post here about personal preferences? I do prefer the Screwdriver but my point was about a FACT and not a personal preference. FACT: My atomizer has lasted since early June and I am a heavy smoker. I purchased 500 ml of juice because I am a heavy smoker. An atomizer can last many years....if you don't use it. That is not the case for me. I vape almost continuously all day long.

So, how long does your atomizer last on your dead parakeet?

nothing more than a battery case

My correction: A battery case with a manual switch and that uses very cheap and long lasting batteries.

Be nice. I was just appreciating the device that I purchased and telling others about it.

I don't ...wash them, blow them out or drain them unless I have to.

I have noticed that I don't have to do these either with the SD.

I liked my SE 901 - when at peak performance.... which was rarely.

I 'lost' 3 bats and an atty in the first week. At 10 days it was 4 bats and 2 attys.

At $12 a battery - and $10 for atty - that was $68 in parts.

Since 'adopting' my screwdriver I've 'lost' one atty (only lasted a week so I think it was defective) and another that was purchased in mid June.
So since getting my screwdriver I figure the massive amounts I've saved on parts

has been spent on juice.

PS - I love the look and shape of the SD. Sleek, easy to hold and so much smaller than it appears in the pictures.

30 years of smoking....
Vaporized by my Screwdriver!

I run mine at 4.0 to 4.2 volts. I've had a few that lasted 3 weeks, and a few that lasted a day or two. On average I get a week of heavy use out of them. Heavy use being 2½ to 3ml a day.

I wasn't knocking the SD. Just noting that the container housing the batt. should not affect the atty's longevity.

Anyone want to donate a parakeet?
