What level of failure do you accept before returning attys?

[Zod]

When I get my 5 packs of LR attys (from LF) I pretty much assume 1 is going to be a dud. Not totally dead but not up to spec of the other 4. My last pack had 1 gem, 1 good one, 1 yet untested, one that I could barely draw through but vaped hard, and one that only got through about 5-6ml of juice then POP.

At 20% failure rate is it worth sending an atty back? Doesn't help that few suppliers will warranty beyond DOA and you aren't likely to roll through every atty upon arrival to test them all with juice.

Has anyone came up with a way to get your atty more free flowing? The one I can't draw through feels like I have 2 of the air intake holes covered but it seems to vape like the gem mentioned before. I backed it off the battery a little to see if it was constricted there but to no avail. Hate to have a brand new atty that seems to vape well but I have to pop a vein in my forehead to use.

If the atty tests out alright with an ohms test..try cleaning it. I have good luck cleaning with hot water and let dry over night

This is a timely topic. Been thinking about this for the past couple of days.

If I were you, I would contact LF and tell them what is going on. Great, I just bought a pack of HV901's from them today. I hope I don't run into trouble with them. I know if you email them, you will get a prompt reply back as to what they will or will not do. A whole pack shouldn't be causing you this much trouble.

Ikenvape has good atty's. You might give them a try.

One thing you can try is simply taking a pin and cleaning out the air holes. Including the one on the bottom of the threads. just be very carefull to not poke around and break the coil.

As for LR atty life. I was going through them as fast as Cartomizers anyway so I switched over to LR Cartomizers. Now I'm back using regular atties with a true 3.7 volt mod and I am pretty happy there. I guess one per pack would be acceptable depending on the price, any more than that I would send them back.

Good Luck and Happy Vaping.

I've never gotten a bad atty from Ikenvape or Cisco, do they cost more? Yes - Problems - No
