I heard of someone who took it out of the box and decided to clean it first before using it.... dry burned it and it popped. The end.
I think I read that someone else's died within a month too... It may depend on how (and if) you clean it. I don't intend to do more than blow mine out into a paper towel.

I am on my third week with one of mine that I have used almost exclusively and it still going strong. I am using backwoods brew juices (70/30 pg/vg) in it and no loss of performance in that period. I did use a tank atty with my vaperite juices 50/50 and it clogged up in 2 days.
Make sure you blow it out before using; there is a lot of primer.
cheers,

thanks for the tip. i used to clean w/ alcohol but now i'm pretty sure that's what killed my other two attys.
when i got my tank atty, i just started vaping. i'm still a little sick, so i didn't even taste the primer. i'm still 100pg, so i shouldn't encounter clogging.
thanks again

I have two and they have been going strong for over three weeks.
thanks, katya. good to know. means i still got a week or two to scrounge up some money for a spare. btw, what part of california are you from(if you don't mind me asking). i was born and raised in the central vally
Alcohol will not damage your atty. Don't worry. I boiled mine, soaked them in vodka, dry burned (short bursts) till the coil glowed orange, it's all fine. If you're really worried, try vaping a tank or two of unflavored eliquid (just PG and nic or 80/20 PG/VG) until the juice in the tank runs clear. LGD recommends this method and I really like it--to keep the atty clean between big cleanings. Good luck.
BTW, the preferrred ratio for the eGo-t tanks is 70/30 to 60/40 (VG/PG), but some people use 100% PG with no problems.

All of mine have been going strong for a while and I am an almost constant vaper with them. If you haven't looked, you might check out the pay forward or classifieds forum on here for an inexpensive spare. For some reason there have been quite a few people that haven't liked the tank attys and have been giving or selling theirs for very little. Not sure what is on the block now, but you might give it a try.
Best of luck - pretty sure your will last a while with minor maintenance.

not to change the subject, but i miss california...except for the smoking bans happening all over the place. have you guys been effected down there much?
Yeah, nanny state at its best. OC is a little better than LA and San Francisco, though.
glad to hear it. it's good to be a vaper, but i still have a conservative smoker's heart. oh, how i was enraged when they would no longer let me smoke on the patio of coffee shops anymore. i piece of me died, and it wasn't just my lungs
