Seems I don't come around here nearly often enough, anymore...
Anyhow, in the "glory days" of my switch to e-cigs - meaning anything prior to December 2011 - seemingly all types of 510 atomizer could be made to last *at least* a month and often clean as good as new.
This encouraged me to invest in 510 equipment, oddly enough, as 901s were proving fragile to clean and prone to unsatisfying lifetime then...
Come my last orders around the holidays, I thought I'd bought a year's supply of atomizers - and after the first few died, came around here and noticed some acknowledgment as to a sudden change in longevity.
Well, now I'm down to my last out of that new pile, and have realized I need to be a little more proactive about changing them when the draw gets bad* - so are long-lived, non-clogging 510 atomizers simply a thing of the past, or does anyone have any tips on a manufacturer or source that's "resolved" the rapid-mortality/hard-draw issues?
Or have 901s suddenly become resilient while the 510 parts have gone iffy?
*Seems letting the draw get "sucking-a-bowling-ball" awful turned what began as a short ear infection into a bit of a chronic recurring eustachian tube dysfunction/irritation on me. Unfortunately the hard-draw problem with the newer 510 parts [and perhaps my laziness at cleaning them] creeps up gradually enough that I don't realize it until I've set it off again, but having figured it out after months, paying more attention and switching off to VG e-gloop for a while seems to be resolving it. "Don't be me" as regards that. (Not outright allergic to PG, but it has a drying effect that kept roughing things up.)
