my 510 atties last months and months at a time...

about every other week or so the vapor drops off a bit because I vape mainly tobacco and or dark colored juice (so the atty gunks up faster)...

to remedy that I blow out the atty, put the atty on a true 3.7V device and do a complete dry burn and it's back to tip top shape...

look up the user highping and his atty resurection method...I just follow an althered version of that..
i put atty o 3.7 for a dry burn and it died

I use lead deposit remover, intended for firearms when mine get that bad - you DO NOT want to inhale one iota of those sort of chemicals.

I surely hope we are not vaping lead.... and if we aren't, then there should be no lead deposits to remove.... but then again... the liquid nicotine juice does come from China even if it IS mixxed in America...So who knows.... if there is lead in the juice, leaving behind deposits....I'd say analogs are safer, even if they do burn or combust...

Just to err on the side of safety....I'll stick with a vinegar bath followed by a hot water rinse..
33 days on 2 atty's...both still producing great amounts of vapor...

There is one company that i know of that uses USA made Nicotine. 99.999% pure Us lab tested and certified. FreedomSmokeUSA

I went threw 6 atties in the last 3 weeks. After taking a few apart they were encased in a black shell of hard gunk. I know from reading other posts this happens to alot of atomizers. Most people say do regular dry burns but they can kill a atty too. As the post a couple back states he killed his atty doing a dry burn. I am now using FreedomSmokeUSA liquid in hopes i dont get that gunk build up like i was from the cheaper China liquid. Time will tell but so far my atty has not built up any gunk at all.

Thats what im using right now it burns so clean that my atomizers dont have the same problem anymore.

For what it's worth, I've heard that the more clear your juice, the longer your atty will last. Cartos, however, are more disposable (hence the much cheaper price of around $6 for 5 vs. $10 for a single atty. I like cartos for convenience when I'm out and about, but I never get past more than about 3 days on them before they lose TH and vapor, or get totally clogged up. My longest lasting atty (with no cleaning, etc.) was about 4 weeks.
