Ok, I've had my tornado a few weeks now. It's clear to me from the forums that there is an issue with the buttons sticking (I've seen this consistantly with all of my batteries, but, I watch for it and this isn't a major issue to me). I had one of the initial two die and TW is replacing, I purchased two more in the meantime with a usb quick charger because I love this silly thing so much. However, I'm having atty issues and I haven't seen much chatter about that on the forums yet.

I had a 510 for a few months and didn't lose a single atty. I lost three within a week of the using the Tornado. Not lost in that they aren't working, but the vapor drops to a wisp of smoke. The last atty this happened to was less than a week old. This was the initial two atty's that came with it as well as another brand new Joye510 atty. I'm very concerned about this because I can't go through an atty a week and dammit I just want this thing to be function because it IS a GREAT PV.

Am I the only one seeing this? I am using different batteries and atties and really think this is showing to be a consistant issue...

I have had my Tornado for two weeks and haven't had any button or atty problems. I might have been just lucky??? I have been rotating out three attys while trying out different liquids (noobie still). The only trouble I have had is flooding the atty with some juices has really affected its performance or temporarily killed it. I usually just blow it out and it is good as new. I hope you are just experiencing isolated occurrences of maybe a bad batch of parts. I hope things work out for ya....I love mine so far!!!

Talk about losing 510 attys, I have lost 6 in just one week!!! What up! Not from the same venders either.
I am new but no virgin. I have been vaping for 4 months now. I have one itsy bitsy atty lelt out of 8. Now I am fearful that will die before I can get a new supply, so many venders are sold out. Plus I have read so many posts from people that receive dead attys or die a few days latter. What is going on????????8-o What we gonna do?????

I've been struggling with this all day today.

I usually swap between 2 attys depending on flavor, but both of those are running into the same issue on my tornado now: Hot, but no vapor. 1 of those attys is from TW, the other from cignot.

I'd call it a coincidence, but I've only had one die prior to the issues with these two. Cleaning through methods here hasn't been working, but my second atty from TW is smoking like a chimney.
