Is my attie a goner

[curtisdon1]

I've been having a few issues with one of my atties and got some tips on how to boil it off a helpful chap off here,
Didn't really want to boil it but I've tried blowing it through and a few tips chrissie told me to try the other night, so I've boiled it let it dry and put a couple of drops of juice on it, still no joy though I can hear it fireing up but it's only let of the bare minimum bit of vapour a hamster would get a throat hit of the amount vapour it's giving me,
Should I just cut my losses and bin it or do you think it may still be resurected?

I've never had any success boiling atomisers Curtis - never.

You could leave it for a couple of days and it may buck up, but I've reservations . . . . the only way I get a bit more mileage from a fading atomiser is to use it on the Garry Dibley Pass Through with the USB hub at 5V.

Im still scared to use them incase it frys the pc mobo.Perp was it you who posted that link for that usb mains hub?as i cant find it again now as im looking at getting a pass through.

I'll leave it a few days and try again,
It just threw me how it was still making a noise like it was trying to work
If it doesn't work I'll just chuck it and stop bein so tight

Lol Curtis . . . it is painful to chuck something you feel should by rights still be working, but very often it's best just to write it off. Although our modders do use dead atties for their mysterious stuff. So it could be worth saving any dead atties then offering them on the classies for the cost of P&P.

I'll go get the hub linky Roachie - don't use it on your PC, back in a mo >>>>>>

>>>>> here it is, bargain price - works a treat.

It is anoying perp it only lasted 3 days lol
I'll keep in my ever growing bits an bobs tin

Did you get it from Liberty Flights Don?

Check the spec on the kit on their website. If it's a standard attie Abe will probably replace it. I think they allow for 14 days use. I emailed him when a battery got red hot after a couple days use and he replaced it. Day later the attie died and I got a replacement for that too.

BTW it's good to alternate your atties every day (I read somewhere).

Clutts - really ? i been using mine continuously since my e cig came. 18 days ago. I do that so when it's gone i have an idea of how long they should last. And thereby know how many i need to keep spare.

[curtisdon1]

Nice one clutter never thought of that I'll have a check and email them, god I feel a tight wod wingein about an attie that costs a couple of quid
Didn't know bout alternating either nice tip thanx

[Clutter]

Don, I think I've killed 5 atties in a fortnight.

I think I drown em when I drip

Ah ha ty perps i shall put that in my ever growing ecig favs folder (still needs bloody sorting out lol)

Me personally in my theroy is if you keep the atty wet it will go for a while.

And del how do you vape?intresting to know how you kept it going for that long mate.

Del, it don't work like that sadly. You might have one that lasts a couple of months and then the next one dies the same day. Best to keep a couple of spare atties and a spare battery.

[curtisdon1]

Let us know how long yours last del
5 in a fortnight damm,
Suppose they are very temperamental aren't they

[Perpetua]

Have to say I always keep my atomisers just short of flooded as I can't bear a burny vape . . . and like Clutty I never use one exclusively as I'm convinced not heating just one up continuously extends their life span.

[Clutter]

I've stuck all my dead 'uns on the GDPT but they haven't revived

I will try boiling 'em or shove em in the mickywave, but I don't hold out much hope. Have ordered some LR901s from Health Cabin which should be here soonishI hope.
