Almost. Two days of labor was pretty long too.

My two original atomizers with my 510 starter kit went kaput today after I made an order with RMV for another battery and atty (titanium!) That leaves me with just the one spare that I ordered from China one week after my starter kit (couldn't resist, it was blue and shiny!)

If the spare burns out too, I still have my Blu kit that got me going in the first place. If this happened during the week it wouldn't be that big of a deal - but weekends were made for chain vaping!

I got my shipping notice this afternoon. I'm counting on you Dave! Come Monday I'll be more anxious than the dog for the daily dance with the Postman!

I thought one of my atomizers died too until I steam cleaned it with my espresso machine's frother nozzle. If you don't have a machine available you can try soaking them in alcohol. Isopropyl or even a clear grain alcohol should work. I have found that these things are pretty tough and will work as long as the coil still burns red hot. If not its probably toast but two in one week seems like bad luck to me, hopefully you can bring at least one back.

How long have you had these & how much juice went into them? I am just curious how long people are able to keep these things working. I am going one month and about 30ml of juice on my original atty. The down time scared me so I have like seven spares now but I really only use the one unless it is drying from the aforementioned tip, then I have used the second that came in my kit but vary little overall.

Let me know if you can bring new life into it. I honestly like my old one better because the other is still not broken in and after a good steam clean it vapes like nobodies business!

I actually did do the steam cleaning through the espresso maker and usually do that once a week while I'm changing out PTBs. What I noticed with the first one was no air flowing through at all. When I took a closer look, the wicking material under the bridge had come out and was covering up the holes. Not sure if the same thing happened to the second one that is also not getting any airflow. The third one is still vaping like a charm this weekend so I'll be fine until my package gets here.
