I have come to the conclusion that dropping your ecig on a hard surface like tiles/concrete/marble/wood floors will increase the chance of killing your atty.

I have dropped my ecig on carpet many times without the atty dying. But on holiday i dropped my ecigs just a few times on hard surfaces and they died. (about 5 of them)

I would say this is the main reason why an atty dies. I would say an atty cannot stop working by simply using it normally. i have had attys last over 2 years. And lost ony 2 attys from 12 in all that time.

do you agree or disagree that droping your ecig causes the atty loss ?

Attys have, can and will stop working from normal use. The coil goes through a heat and cooling cycle each time it's activated. Over time this degrades the coil and eventually it pops. It will happen to all attys if used enough.

Your two year lifespan is amazing. I've got a few that have lasted over a year but I don't use attys that much anymore just for occasional dripping when I want to change things up or try new flavors.

What most likely happened from dropping it was a solder joint broke.

Atty's seem to be getting much better at not burning out !

About 12 to 18 months ago it was hard to find an atty that lasted much more than a month or two. Some luck involved, but they just wouldn't last very long on average.

Now, I've not had one burn out this year yet, and these are LR type B eGo T's with NO warranty !

I'm a dropper. we don't have carpet, so I drop on tile. my pvs seem to work better after being dropped. apparently mine like rough treatment :laugh:
