@%&*! The great atomizer extinction of 09!

[Zrane]

So, today, I have gone through my entire stock of 901 and 801 atomizers. There is exactly one left, and if I leave the house with it my wife will kill me for it!

Ship faster suppliers, ship faster!

...

......

........Any Oklahoma City-area vapers want to sell me an atty?

 

[Elendil]

And people laugh when I say that I have 30 extra...............

 

[smokaholic]

loool i only got 1 atty with my 401 kit. I'm hoping i can somehow magically baby this thing for at least a month.

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.

Just curious, but what device are you using that is killing your atty's that fast?

Before you give up on them boil them for 5-6 mins and then dry them for 24 hours......you might be surprised..............

I have a standard 801 and 901. No special devices(yet). I think I just had a streak of bad luck, as I cycle through my atomizers(ie grab whatever one I see first in the morning). Two still work slightly, but not enough to use.

Try doing a "burn cleaning". I have 901's. The atomizer gets hot but produces little vapor.
Blow out excess liquid from the atty. and run it dry for about 8 seconds. Then add 4 drops of liquid. Works good for me.

Zrane...I'm in NW OKC and have some 901 attys. I could help you out. I had a couple of dead ones from Ruyan and emailed them. They told me to gently pry the connector up on the atty because it maybe wasn't making a good connection. I used my tweezers and tried that and it worked. You can p.m. me if that doesn't work on any of yours.

Tried it that, no luck. Trying the burn cycle now, but I'm having trouble getting it dry. May be PMing you in a few.

No luck with the burn off, I suspect it's a gunk buildup leading to wire snapping problem, as I was getting some realllllly funky tastes out of it. Also made myself turn a bit purple hitting the cutoff as much as I did.

 

[MrCowbell]

What is it about the technology that makes it so hard to make a dependable atty?

 

[Zrane]

High heat+Liquid+Reduction/burning. Makes sense to me.

Doesn't make it suck any less.

PM sent, CJ.

I do burn off a couple of times per week. Always helps mine, probably shortens the atty life, but at least the atty performance is like new again. I average a new atomizer around every two weeks, which is normal using Trog's Screw Driver.

When you do a "burn off". Just blow into the atty. to engage the switch. lol

 

[Babachoo]

I'm SW OKC and have plenty of attys for both the 801 and 901, still sealed in plastic, just got them in a couple days ago. Holla if you're still needing some supplies.

Simple economics. They want you to keep coming back to buy parts.

 

[breakfastchef]

It is really simple to test the continutity of an atomizer if you have access to a multimeter. You won't waste time trying to revive an atomizer that is truly non-functional, and can work with those that still may have some life in them.

 

[Zrane]

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?

Only two things come from Oklahoma. Steers and...........................
