The Atty Graveyard... *sigh*

[Raynen]

Just wondering how many attys the average vaper goes through I've only been at it for two and a half months, but I've gone through 3 attys, and on my way with a fourth.

My first atomizer was a red one, and it lasted a month a few days, until it wouldn't do ANYTHING. It was cold, cold, cold! My second one (red) died in a day; that was just bad luck! The third one (green) lasted like... three days shy of a month. The fourth one (green) is on its way, then I'm surviving on my cignot.com stuff! Yay! The red/green ones were from the evil mall kiosk from Totally Vapor, but hey at least I got it to last a while. Then again, I was also learning about my PV still so I'm actually surprised I haven't gone through 10 attys!

Atty lifespan is hard to say. I've seen so many different "lifespan" numbers that I just say "the better you take care of it, the better off your atty will be" and carry an extra, just in case

I've been vaping since June. Mostly I usee 2.0 ohm LR's. I've had 3 die since I started. 2 were the originals from my 510 kit and not LR's. The other one was the first LR I started using back in July and it bit the dust about a month ago. Since I've lost 3 in about 6 months I'm averaging around 2 months usage out of each one, although I do keep a couple in my rotation at any given time. I never bother cleaning them. I did a dry burn on one when it quit producing decent vapor and it's still in use. I've got a stock of around 25 new ones so I'm set for a while.

I dry burn too, in small spurts when I change a flavor. It is literally clean in a two-second dry burn Ooh and having spares is always great, I have three attys as backup

Yup. My green atty (the fourth one about to die) fell apart. The atty itself is fine but the metal green casing slid off. It snapped back on, but I don't want to use it now...

I've had the same Cisco LR 306 going since September. It works great, though the collar has come unglued, so it gets stuck in the drip tip.

I've had 2 different Cisco LR 510's going since Mid-October as well.

I've only lost one atty from the original 6 that I bought back in September. I don't know if that really counts because I killed it by trying to debridge it. I have my atty's blood on my hands. Cold-blooded atty killer, I am.

LOL Yeah that can do it. My second red one was my fault too. i accidentally de-wicked it but it did some MAJOR damage...

No atty deaths to report YET at almost 4 months. I'm sure I'll be attending some "atty funerals" in the future but no idea when as of yet. I cleaned fairly often in the first two months but not so much anymore. None of my atties have been subjected to a dry burn as of yet. I don't drip so no debridging happening here.

 

[Raynen]

Yeah I dry burn instead of clean and only when I'm changing flavors, so I don't really ever have to clean. If I do any "cleaning" it's one or two drops of rubbing alcohol on the atty and then I blow it all out and let it dry for a bit.

My first atty went to Atty Heaven 3 months after I started vaping. Little guy was a trooper. He got to taste numerous juices with me. I miss him terribly. He never let me down. I bought a mod and the little fellow just didn't have the strength to uphold the voltage it put out. He gave out and said good-bye. Nothing will ever compare to him. And I've had alot of atty's since then. LR's usually quit after 2 weeks of very heavy usuage. HV atty's aren't worth a darn either. I've had them last only a few days to a week so far. Standards seem the best to me but still don't compare to my little guy. Standards last a month or so depending on how well they get cleaned. Little guy got bathed every other day so I think that played a big part in his survival for so long. I kept him neat and tidy. Never dry burned him. I would bathe him and let him dry over the computer fan at night. RIP my little guy.

That's how I'm feeling for my green one... It's been through so much!
