1) How Long on average does your atomizer/cardomizer last? Between 6-12 weeks on atomizers, sometimes longer and very rarely, shorter (just a bad atty)

2) Exact type of atomizer/cardomizer? (be as precise as possible: include model, make)
Joye 510 LR stainless steel (purchased at puresmoker), Joye 306 LR (purchased at cherryvape)



3) The main Exact Brand and mix of juice? (example: 70pg, 30vg totally wicked tobacco flavor)
Multiple flavors PG/VG blends (Puresmoker Tonic--no idea on the %'s), Strickly ejuice CandyCane (PG), Johnson Creek Original and chocolate truffle, PG/VG blend, Cignot's EcoPure "Rich" VG, Ms T's Peppermint, a blend of PG/VG I believe



4) What Type of maintenance do you conduct on you atomizer/cardomizer? (example: dunk in vodka solution 1 time per week and burn out nightly)
Simply blow out excess fluid (into a napkin or paper towel) before I use it the first time and blow it out periodically after that (every day or two)



5) Anything else you might want to add?
I've learned to avoid thick or darkly colored liquids. They seem to create a "burnt" taste fairly quick and atty performance degrades a lot quicker than clearer, thinner liquids. Also, I never use carts or fillers of any kind. I only use the drip method. And I'm constantly "cutting" stronger flavors with the EcoPure for a lighter taste

I just want to conduct a Test all you have to do is copy / paste and fill in the blanks:

1) How Long on average does your atomizer/cardomizer last?

1-2 weeks

2) Exact type of atomizer/cardomizer? (be as precise as possible: include model, make)

Every brand made. I use Cisco and SLB LR 510 attys only now.


3) The main Exact Brand and mix of Juice? (example: 70pg, 30vg totally wicked tobacco flavor)

Too many to list.


4) What Type of maintenance do you conduct on you atomizer/cardomizer? (example: dunk in vodka solution 1 time per week and burn out nightly)

I never put up an atty wet. I do not dry burn. If an atty starts to go south on me, I'll soak it overnight in atty refresher.

1) How Long on average does your atomizer/cardomizer last?

Over 3 months on my atomizers, cartomizer 1 week to 2 weeks.


2) Exact type of atomizer/cardomizer? (be as precise as possible: include model, make)

Total Wicked atties i got with my ego kit, atties purchased from liberty flights *unsure on what brand they sell*, EGO mega atties from myfreedomsmoke *these are less then a month old.* Cartomizers are EGO mega carto's


3) The main Exact Brand and mix of Juice? (example: 70pg, 30vg totally wicked tobacco flavor)

make my own juice, 70% VG/30% PG. Mostly use TPA flavoring.

4) What Type of maintenance do you conduct on you atomizer/cardomizer? (example: dunk in vodka solution 1 time per week and burn out nightly)

Vodka bath's to leech out ejuice, hot water rinse under the faucet for about a minute each atty/carto. Dry burn on the atties about once a week. Dry burn more often on my drip/test atties. NEVER dry burn my plastic mega cartomizers..I think that would be silly.

5) Anything else you might want to add?

Even with all the cleaning i do i still get frustrated with my atties and carto's so my method isnt perfect..I might have drawn out the life of my atties for to long, just hate to put something away in a draw that can still run though.

1) How Long on average does your atomizer/cardomizer last?

I've never lost an atty and some of them are over 1 year old.

2) Exact type of atomizer/cardomizer? (be as precise as possible: include model, make)

Joye 510 on an Ego ranging from 650 - 1000 mah

3) The main Exact Brand and mix of Juice? (example: 70pg, 30vg totally wicked tobacco flavor)

All of my juice is Backwoods Brew 70% PG 30% VG

4) What Type of maintenance do you conduct on you atomizer/cardomizer? (example: dunk in vodka solution 1 time per week and burn out nightly)

Blow out, rinse, blow, dry burn, rinse, blow, once a week - week and a half. In between, I blow juice out every two to three days if it starts losing flavor.


5) Anything else you might want to add? Dripping is my only method of vaping for the past 6 months. I tried cartos for a couple of months but tossed them due to inconsistency and expense.

I am a confirmed dripper, too, but occasionally used cartomizers for long road trips (never drip and drive! ;)) the problem is that carto fillers weaken the flavors. Solution: A tank carto. It uses no filler so the strong flavor is preserved. Just got mine yesterday from Digitalcigzz and am very pleased.

1) How Long on average does your atomizer/cardomizer last?
11weeks and 5 days ago so far


2) Exact type of atomizer/cardomizer? (be as precise as possible: include model, make)
Favorite attie came with my joye 510 no box with pcc kit from cignot as stated above 82 days ago

3) The main Exact Brand and mix of Juice? (example: 70pg, 30vg totally wicked tobacco flavor)
vape usually at least 3 different flavors a day form various vendors but mainly vg capuccino from cignot for my most of the day
and vanilla bean and dulce de leche from backwoods brew as well as coton candy from blue mist


4) What Type of maintenance do you conduct on you atomizer/cardomizer? (example: dunk in vodka solution 1 time per week and burn out nightly)
Rinse and dry burn when not vaping well usually maybe once a week blow out usually once a day maybe twice.

5) Anything else you might want to add?
got about 10 atties including a LR attie (which I dont really see the point of) My fav attie works so well if it made more vapor it'd choke me out lol. use a few of the others like the 2ohms that came with My riva se from LF but they only work as good as not noticeably better than my fav attie.

1) How Long on average does your atomizer/cardomizer last?
Not 100% sure, since i swap em out after a month, and put the old one in the "Old Atty" bin. At least a month.

2) Exact type of atomizer/cardomizer? (be as precise as possible: include model, make)
Authentic Joye 510 atomizer 3.0ish ohm

3) The main Exact Brand and mix of Juice? (example: 70pg, 30vg totally wicked tobacco flavor)
DIY - my own. aprox 75 PG/25 VG + whatever flavor

4) What Type of maintenance do you conduct on you atomizer/cardomizer? (example: dunk in vodka solution 1 time per week and burn out nightly)
Blow out once per day. Water rinse every few days, or IA rinse as needed (less often of late - 2 times/mo). Tend to "warm burn" to dry em out. May be reducing life. Still last over a month tho.

5) Anything else you might want to add?
YES! VOLTAGE MATTERS FOR LIFETIME. You ?forgot? the power side of the equation (or maybe you don't care). But I think that those of us that vape using a 3.0 ohm atty on 5.0 volts won't have it last as long as those that vape using 3.0 ohms at 3.7, for example. Of course, the vv guys/gals will have all kinds of fun with this!

P.S. Oh, yeah... I drip 100% of the time.

1) How Long on average does your atomizer/cardomizer last? Cartos last over a month before tossing. Same atty for the past 5 months. Haven't popped one yet.


2) Exact type of atomizer/cardomizer? (be as precise as possible: include model, make) Boge 2.0 carto on 3.7v. Joye 510 atty 1.7v.


3) The main Exact Brand and mix of Juice? (example: 70pg, 30vg totally wicked tobacco flavor) Mostly DIY 24mg at 50/50 pg/vg. Tasty Puff flavorings added bought from local tobacco store (orange, pineapple, rootbeer, cola, vanilla, menthol). Clear mixes.


4) What Type of maintenance do you conduct on you atomizer/cardomizer? (example: dunk in vodka solution 1 time per week and burn out nightly) Power flush cartos 1x week with syringe +cone. Atty gets a dry burn every 2 weeks or so.


5) Anything else you might want to add? Haven't had any carto or atty failures in 5 months other than trying to mod (debridge) or replace filler (just to see if I could do it.....lol). First Ecig (ego) was prone to breaking when dropped. Bought a Roughstack V2 and haven't had an equipment failure despite dropping numerous times.

I drip almost exclusively. Can't find a cartomizer to last more than a few days before funky taste and feel the filler breaking down and inhaling the tiny particles. Wish there was a tank with no carto that didn't leak for driving. That's all I want for Christmas! :)
