A sad day

[Lee]

It finally had to happen. I had an atty die on me today. I've been vaping for 105 days now and it's my first dead atty so I can't really complain.

I've been using mostly LR 901's but the one that died was a 510. I'm really surprised it didn't die sooner with the hammering I give my atties.

At least I can break it down and see if I can repair it now, I didn't want to ruin a new one for that.

LOL Lee

Have fun taking it apart

Blooming heck Lee, I'm lucky if they last me 7 days! Well done x

[Lee]

I'm being strong and trying to make it through the day, at least I have happy memories to look back on.

[bel]

[safercigs]

thats just toooooo funny lols

[spikeychops]

You going to put it into a matchbox and bury it in the garden?

My sympathies are with you at this difficult time.

[lynwlt]

Spikey,

Why would a non-smoker have an empty matchbox?

Lee won't even have an ampty carto box......

Maybe we could all have a whipround for an appropriate container.....
One of the modders might be able to come up with something.

I see a whole new market opening up here..

lol Lee,you havent had a bad run at all mate.I was lucky if mine lasted 3-7 days when i used atomisers.

RIP 510 attie - you knew it well

Seriously though Lee, that is a heck of a time to go without an attie dying

[spikeychops]

lol lyn,

How about a line of tiny coffin shaped boxes to put all our dead atties and cartos in?

Biodegradable, naturally.

Seriously, that is a long time for an atty to last, been vaping at 3.7V only Lee or multi-volt?

[Clutter]

Cor Lee that's a good long time.

Roachie hoiked the bridge out of a defunct Atty and it worked as a bridgeless. He used a fork to disembowel it

Hah, going to report Roachie to the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Atomisers)

So funnt Chrissie.Its worth a try Lee,see if you can get another few days out of it.

It's well and truly dead, I pulled it's guts out to see if there was anything useable. There wasn't. I think it's best if I don't think about it any more, I can feel myself welling up.

I mainly vape at 3.7 and sometimes at 5 on the pass thru so it has lasted a while. I do the odd rinse under the tap with them but that's about it.
