I have to spread my purchases out. I seriously went through 7 901's and 2 801s today.

...I just ordered 3 from a US supplier, and another 10 from ruyan. Hopefully they get here before I lose it.

9 attys in one day?8-o I think it's time to back the truck up here!

Please take a few moments to give everyone complete information.

Your power sources.
Your style of vaping.
How often do you vape.
How hard do you draw.
How long do you draw.
Anything else that might be useful information.

Something is definitely wrong here.

I mostly regard this as bad luck. All these were 'production' atomizers, none new.

Your power sources.-Standard 801 and 901 automatic bats. Don't have anything fancy yet.

Your style of vaping. - Not sure what you mean by 'style'. I drip and refill my own carts, depending on my mood.

How often do you vape-A lot at my desk and when driving, less so in other circumstances.

How hard do you draw-Pretty hard, but not excessively. Less so on the 801's as they have a moother draw.

How long do you draw-'till cutoff.

I would imagine that this is the issue. If you rotate, they will die, one after another, approximately at the same interval.

I use 1 atty until it dies, and then go to a new one. after 3 months, I'm still on my first 2. I use one on my batts, and one on my passthrough.

Set meter to continuity setting, touch one probe to the atomizer connector threads and the other probe to the center portion with the hole in it. If there is continuity, they are not (completely) dead.

If you take an ohm reading with the probes in the same position, 3.5ish is normal. If the reading is very high, toss it.
Wow, lotta OKC people around here. Cool.

And I'll try that, breakfast. I think I've got a multimeter floating around. Where are the actual contact points to test?
