Standard Atomizers really piss me off

I use both the Beta and V1 AFS and my usual lifespan of an iatty is around a week, week and half. They don't blow but start to clog up on me. I get a hard draw and put a new one in. I have had some success with cleaning them with some .... cleaner and hot water.
Some of them have trailed off and started producing little vapor before but not too often. Over all I would say that this round of iAtties has been a very big increase in performance and life over the last batch of TW AFS atties.
Great news. Last night I was able to revive 5 of 7 of my 801 clogged attys by cleaning them with grain alcohol and my ultrasonic at 10 minutes and heat (I use the large $65 model at Harbor Freight, the small one is worthless).
The two that didn't revive measured out at 26 ohms and 250 ohms. The 26 ohm still produced a bit of vapor so I will clean that one again the next time. The 5 good ones where at exactly 3.3 ohms.
The only issue is that the first few hits are harsh until the alcohol residue burns off.
I had a DOA 901 that I pulled apart using the Scottbee method. The problem with the 901 is that is it a 2-piece design. Or, at least it pulled apart in 2 pieces - the screen and the base. The wires pulled off the solder joints on the base. Is the 801 a similar design?

Vapnaway - would you translate the lifespan (until clogging) into the average ml used?
I would assume that iattys are XHV attys. Are there other types of XHV attys available? If so, who sells them?
well I vape on average 5ml a day. So that would be about 35-50ml.
For everyone that has "clogged" or non-working attys, that are NOT electrically DEAD, you should read the ENTIRE thread, long but MAY save you MONEY:

Thanks, but my ultrasonic cleaner and grain was sitting right there next to the air compressor that I used to dry them with. I revived 5 of 7 attys and will rework the other 2.
2packsaday and Macktavish, thanks for the posts. I did a bit of both, burn clean and ultrasonic wash on some Iatties that were getting tired, they are now like new.
Sounds like you vape as much as I do.lol With HV attys on the prodigy will last any where from 4 to 6 days really.I seem to have the same problem.
I have had the same problem off and on and have tried everything out there.
I use cartos now and reg 510 joyes on 3.7v and the cartos on 5v.
Seems like the only way to get attys to last for me.

Anyone tried cleaning their atty using handheld steamer? I manage to bring regular atties back to perform well using this sort of method.
As for hefty price to pay for regular atties, why not getting them from one of China supplier that gives 6 month warranty for atties? (i won't mention the name of the supplier as i feel it's a bit unethical, feel free to browse around or message me if you want to know more about this supplier). My regular atty with GGTS has been producing thick clouds for about 2 weeks now.

no problem sob, post it here please
Thanks Imeo, i got my atties from Heaven Gifts, very communicative and helpful with the items i ordered.
sob, I got a bunch from a different supplier (same warranty though, and also very nice and helpful) and three ended up dying in less than a day of use. 901's with the washer. At least they are replacing them, but ugh I am fed up with attys!
There's a brand of mouthwash in North America (not sure if it is available elsewhere) called Crest Pro Health that, for some reason, cleans attys extremely well! But I have heard others have good luck with gentle steaming, like from a kettle.

I said 2 weeks ago that I will put a washer to my iatties and they did it already????????
I am sure that its a coincidence, I dont think some people copied this idea so quick.
Has anyone a pic of those atomizers?

I'll look for one...the 'washer' is a metal ring around the mesh bridge, so just the top of the bridge sticks out.
ETA: it's not really a washer...more like a metal plate surrounding the bridge.
