I think this is a sellers reply Lisa.

I think sometimes consumables is used as an excuse as to why things don't last and to encourage people to buy more.

I see nothing wrong with people trying to prolong the life of their atty and some do quite well.

I get a little bit sick of our throw away society sometimes but of course its good for business.

Ken.

I am sorry that you think I would put an opinion on here JUST to sell stuff. This was my opinion before I was a vendor. I've tried every method known to man and I was just wasting my time and in some cases, shortening the life of my atties.
This world is too disposable, [glow=red,2,300]it is also too cynical.[/glow]

I hope you don't think my response was cynical Lisa.

However if you get nearly a month out of one atomiser but only two days out of the other two then something is wrong or am I missing something. ???

Ken.

True Lisa in a way. But as an AVS (AFS) owner you should at least understand that they kind of clog up a bit and a bit of a simple boil gives them a kick start. Just shits me attys last from 1 second to months...

Now I use these:

$15 for 25 you can not go wrong.

And yes James, I let them dry.

lol glad to hear ....I was pointing out JUST encase someone read and might not have understood we can take for granted they need to be dried but maybe not someone new to the practice

Cheap mass produced Chinese product ..

Purchase anything consumable .. incandescent light bulbs etc.

A new clutch assembly for your car ..

None have a finite life span ..

Some consumable products may have a warranty ..

However, the product is still thrown away at the end of it's life.

Warranty or not,

e.g.

Janty cover their branded atomisers for a period of 6 months ..

Are these atomisers actually of any better quality?

NO of course not.

They are exactly of the same quality of the TAWA product.

Brand loyalty at a price ...

To me it's finding the right fit for what you/I need... still playing and struggling to find it like all of us..

Exactly ..

Purchase a new set of brake discs and pads from Kwik-Fit ..

Life time warranty ...

At a price ...

But if one intended to keep the vehicle for a few years, or you are a heavy user of the brake pedal ...

Kwik-Fit might be one's best option ....

Janty might be one's best option ....

It's called Consumer Choice

And we struggle through the BS trying to find the answer for you/me.

But we certainly do not consider a 5 Pound plus atomiser a throw away item FFS....

I'd never pay £5 + for an atomiser ..

The only exception being the Tornado Mega at half price from TECC at the moment.

Then again like everyone else ... I was paying £5 + for TAWA tobacco cigarettes ...

Before I found the e-cigarette ..

Did anyone ever return a tobacco cigarette for a warranty replacement?

Good call

Two months ago as a complete newbie I bought atomisers from Cloud 9 at 5.75 each.
One of them lasted nearly a month which I thought was good value. The other two lasted two days each.
This was before I discovered this forum.

Just been trying the LR atomisers for the Tornado ...

They are great at the start .. but I reckon their resistance is very quickly brought back up to that of the normal atomiser ..

Due to carbon build up etc.

IMO LR atomisers do give 3.7 Volt vaping a slight kick .. for a short period ..

My first LR atomiser lasted 6 days or so .. the second about 3 days ..

Worth a pop @ £3 each .. (I've still got 23 left)

Would I recommend them at full price ...

No ..

I'd buy a higher voltage e-cig.

Ken.

If you'd chosen one of the other two as your first atomiser to use .. you'd be delighted at life of one of the other two left

But seriously I bought some atomisers recently for my micro pipe.

Tried one of the 5 multi-pack .. excellent used it for an hour or so ..

Oh about a week later .. pulled out my micro pipe for a quick vape .. atomiser dead.

That's life my friend

There's only a few factories making all of the atomisers you see on the market.
They are consumable items that were designed for occasional use, not the heavy intense use we tend to put them through.
However if anyone finds they can extend the life with various cleaning methods, then that's entirely up to them. That's why it's rather nice to have a forum where people can ask the question and receive various different replies and then make up their own mind.
As I said, I've tried it all, and you usually find that everyone starts off trying all the cleaning methods, but the longer a person has been vaping, the less likely you are to find that they use any kind of cleaning method at all.

Umm, got to call BS. You sell 5+ pound attys but expect us to throw them away as soon as they lack a bit of vape? A simple boil in a cup too hard?
