Ok, so the last few days I've been getting really bad burnt taste after a few vapes and decided to clean all 4 of my attys. One is sizzling but no glow, 3 are glowing with no sound. Maybe there not dead but I rinsed and dried them a few days again and couldn't get that burnt taste out, so I'm doing it again tonight. SO, as I'm paranoid I want more attys for my Ego! Where is the best place to get extra without buying a kit. Do I want regualr 510 attys? LR attys? the mega atty and carts?
Spam me with info please.

Oh and I've been analog free for 11 days! LOVE vaping!

I buy my JOYE atties here Three Joye 510 Spare Atomizers They arent rock bottom price but I have never had an issue with them either; they always work well for a decent period of time (Im not saying how long as every time I mention it on the forum one of my atties dies so.. this is my new superstition lol)
For cheap n cheerful non JOYE (but you can get juices at the same time and save on shipping lol) there are Tasty Vapor I haven't got any of these yet but they are for backups while you wait on your regular atties (paraphrased from TV's site)

If your atty is dry, it will glow, but not make any noise. Also if it's completely dry, then it can take anywhere from 4 to 8 drops to get it going again without that nasty burning taste/smell. I clean my attys out all the time to change flavors. I rinse the out with water, then blow them as dry as I can get them, then dry burn them until they do nothing but glow orange with no noise. Then I can change flavors with almost no carry over from the last flavor. So, it sounds like your attys are just dry to me. Try dripping 3 or 4 drops directly into the atty, then push the button and watch the atty. If it stills glows orange or smells bad, it's probably still dry. Keep adding liquid one drop at a time until the atty produces vapor with no nasty burnt smell.

Your attys aren't dead. Any water remaining inside will keep the coil from heating up. Blow the water out with compressed/canned air and then hit em with a blow dryer for a few minutes.

I rinse my attys out with 190 proof alcohol as it evaporates a lot faster than water and cleans better. In almost six months I haven't ruined one atty with this method.

I agree with j21blackjack.
If they are glowing they are good.
Add some drops and prime them well.
