I ordered two of the 3.5 HV 510s and they rocked...but they both died two days later with just normal use,the old 510s lasted me two to three weeks.

It does indeed suck but then again please define normal. It is not uncommon to have the odd atty pop in a couple of days, read odd. 3.5s at 6V should be lasting 1 month+, both old and new. AAMOF the new ones are better than the old ones.

Is there any environmental issues I may not be aware of, as it seems folks in California are having problems with atomizers/equipment (serious).

Normal use would like 4 hours a day because I use an Ego at work,I dont vape outside so I dont no why living in Cali would affect my equipment.

no man, he should use 5 drops instead on 6 but I am sure Isaac will take care of it!
couple of days?? wow mine lasted 5 minutes, you are lucky!

Isaac makes great atomizers period... if you know anything about attys, sure some last forever, but MOST last around a week of serious use.
Some are defective and either DOA or crap out in a day ... that is the exception not the rule.

THat's why there is a disclaimer.
That's why drippers know to get a batch of attys, and be selective of more expensive attys.
There is also the fact that many newbs don't know how to care for attys; there is a learning curve.

If you know how to drip, how to care for attys, then you still have to consider they are disposables (eventually) and just compare that to what you spent on analogs... get that figure in your mind before you start.
Ikens are often considered the best... and a good place to start, but i wouldn't say not to get a bunch of cheapies just to learn with.
It's worth it because dripping is the purest form of vaping.

I don't deal with fanboys or fangirls, only with Isaac...full stop

Lot's of tude for A Dutchman. :)

If you don't like the product or the hype then it is time to move on. There is no need to slam the product. It is not for everybody but many feel it is their God given right to catch the next rainbow.

I am not a fanboy but a satisfied customer who knows how to get the maximum from their equipment. When I do get a dud, I move it to the trash and get another. Very few have made it to the trash so I cast it off as the cost of doing business.

There is always Eastmall that sell in bulk at a good price :rolleyes:

You killed your 4.5Ohm, atty today because you pushed it while it was still breaking in. Not only did you push it you vaped it in a semi to flooded condition, which is just as bad as vaping it dry. Full stop!

I am sorry Ukeman but I do take exception to anyone who comes here and calls you a fanboy or anybody else for that mater.

Issac sells the best product I have found, and I have tried many. Some are expecting miracles - one size does not fit all. If it is not for you then by all means continue searching, everyone is entitled to Nirvana and I sincerely wish it to all vapers. If you are going to display "tude" then expect some in return. Last time I checked I am allowed to get offended just like everybody else?

To be clear: no offense to anybody in particular, was just ...... off with the atties at first, I am breaking in one now for the past 5 hours and there is progress: flavor is there now, nice clouds and no more scorching of my throat. I know the drill for atties my friends, been there for two years, I have a little experience. My comment was to prevent all kind of basic tips I know already believe me. The reason for posting was not to blame anybody especially not Isaac, never did and never will, but I am an honest and straight type of person, the ECF is not to lick heels but to be frank and learn from each other.

If more have to break in this attie, I think it would be good to have the buyers made aware, just an advice to prevent dissolution and idiots like me shouting and screaming. For all the atties that I have tried I never had to break in one for a full day to get good results, yes they shined after a day but not the burning throat sensation, so it is not very common I think. Not going to name all the brands and types, but really I have tried I think 90% what is and was out there. So happy vaping and have fun!
