Well, I've had mine for about that long (since 21st?), and it's still going strong. Had a couple of dry burns, and one gunging up with HS Impulse, but it has recovered. Got a spare wating in the wings, so I guess lifespan depends on what kind of juice you put through it (just as with cartos).

Hmm see id be a bit more happier with that lol 6 days has kinda upset me it seemed so good at the start , what juice are u using in yours Sandra ? And what voltage are people using (open question lol) it doesn't taste as bad at 3.7 or lower acctually with hc hy4 but the one I have with hs menthol is fine on my echo 4.2
Acctually could it even just be juice specific and not the stardust fault, I mean one juice tasting ok at 4.2 but anougher horrible burnt , just a thought EDIT: saying that it seemed fine when I got it although the battery wasn't fully charge so May have been outputting lower

Mine's OK still, dry burned twice since 21st Feb whenever it started tasting funny. 3.7v standard resistance. Really pleased so far.

Should add- I haven't cleaned mine yet or done a dry burn or owt to them, the taste is still fine, though the one with Raspberry in is producing less vaper, unless I up the volts but the taste is still yummy

C) just bad luck better luck next time Lol Ah it's put me back a little best try anougher fiver and send this one to the bone yard of money wasted grr not havin to much success with vapin recently

I dunno both of mines are 2 weeks old each was using them exclusively with Grape and were both playing up yesterday, I rinsed both out and left them overnight, haven't touched them again today as I got a new toy, but will go back to them again maybe over the weekend and see if I can figure out what I am doing wrong before going to a new one

Stitch
I posted yesterday about the trouble I had with one of mine.
I cleaned it and followed the instructions for the dry burn to the letter.
I got a few decent puffs from it then it reverted back to Yuk.
I filled it with e-liquid and left it on its side overnight then started using it again today.
It was very hit and miss this moring but I persevered with it and its now working again ???
The only difference with this one and my other one that has continued to work well, is the draw is much more airy now.

I know what you mean. Last night my tongue was raw and had lost all feeling in it I'm pleased I kept at it though because now there really isn't a great deal of difference between the two of them I should add though, I do have to tilt the whole thing before every draw so the e-liquid keeps the wick saturated ???
