Well, day 4 and 15 or so refils later and the attie is starting to wimp off.
seems the tank attie is just as suspect well as far as longevity is concerned as the good ol 510.
A 510 i expect 2 weeks of joy before it starts to die then just replace it.
looks like the tank is the same. (presumably some slightly better some worse)
However, given the price of a tank attie compared to a MP 510, me thinks the tank attie is a luxury item.

Thoughts?

Bjorn I have to agree the price does make them a luxury... I've had quite a few that have died in under two weeks...
I think the tank is wonderful when it's working well, but the attys are not worth £10.99 with the lifespan I've experienced so far..
They are under warranty but it's a hassle having to send them back all the time... I think £4.99 each would be about right considering they die, under perform very quickly...

I bought 2 when they first came out and am still vaping quite nicely with them. I've treated them pretty badly to be fair, mixing juices, actually it's very rare i use the same flavour on the bounce. havent cleaned them. etc etc........but for me they have represented my perfect vape so far. maybe im just lucky or you're unfortunate.............but for now they are what's keeping me off analogs. only real issue i had was with batteries not working on them, but that was a quick fix with lifting the centre piece up a bit. but i suppose just like with analogs it's down to preference...............happy vaping guys :)

I've had the same results as Jackoboy. I've been using the same attie for a month solid, at least 2 tanks a day with flavour/PG/VG changes and so far (fingers crossed) its still going strong. I only clean mine once every couple of days to keep it flowing. But that said, my boss has burnt one out in 2.5 weeks using 3-4 tanks a day, he tried the "coke" bath to no avail. I have a suspicion he accidently set it off in his pocket :laugh: and killed it as the tank liquid turned dark brown/black!! He did notice that before it went there was quite a lot of fluid leaking out from all holes.

well boys and girls mine died "stone cold" @ 3 weeks.
the only liquid used in it was TECC tobbacco flavour.
average of 3 refills a day.
Might send it back but probably wont.

The thing with dark brown liquid happened to me every time I used it. Never noticed that with the 510, but suppose the liquid is never there long enough to turn brown.

BTW
coke baths don't work, expecialy on a broken element.
