vaporqueen Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I've had the same one for about 2 wks. I blew it out/cleaned it and changed tank once so far. The thing has been going strong. At $17 a pop I'm hoping it lasts a while. Anyone have experience? How long should I except this thing to last as I dont have a back up at this time. Most stores I've checked are out of stock.

Nanna Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Mine are just now going bad after roughly 5 weeks. Trying the Coke method of cleaning but if not, that's why I have cartomizers on hand. Try www.cignot.com - I know they have some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagsanstuff Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I loved mine until it died 3 weeks after I started using it. I got mine from TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaporqueen Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 5 weeks isnt too bad! I'll try cignot. I did see that tw had some in stock but the website said that your bank may charge a "out the country" fee and I wasnt too sure about that. Also, the shipping cost seemed a lot to me. I bought some of that computer air spray that seemed to blow some crap out of them. But I would be fine spending $17 every five or so wks. Hell, I spent about that in one day on analogs!

TroopX Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just an FYI- TW usa site shouldn't have the "out of the country" fee, AND the LR t-atty is going for $11.04. (link) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshyl Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Troop is right. Their US store is in Bradenton, FL. I ordered two lr tank attys a few days ago and got them yesterday. They were a little over $11.00 a piece. That's the cheapest I have seen. I ordered the extra attys since they were that cheap. The TW atty has lasted me longer than any other has. I have one that is still going strong and it's on it's 4th week. The price is just a little over the price of a joye 510lr or the 306lr. Try the US site for TW, I have had nothing but good service from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erika Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I saw another cleaning method using the steamer on a cappucino machine that looked awesome. Don't have a cap maker though so i can't try it. It was done by shan burkholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 FYI - Be careful before using the canned air on any of your vaping items. Some of the manufactures of canned air put in a NASTY tasting ingredient so people will not use them to huff. Thank goodness I did not find this out by using it on my atty!!!! I used it to clean off my laptop keyboard. After spraying the keyboard, I went to use it and put my hand to my mouth and gagged. I spent the next hour wiping down my entire laptop. The taste lasted a couple of days and everything else I touch before finding out!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Something has changed at TW, I received an international transaction fee from my last order 3 weeks ago. The fee was $1.70 for a $54 transaction. I have ordered from them AT LEAST a dozen times and this is the first time. I also noticed that you can not pay from paypal anymore. My suspicion is you are now being charged by an international (British) bank and therefore you get the fees. I also pay an international fee for the Club Penguin website membership each month as their bank is out of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even buy cold medicine at Walgreens without filling out a questionaire and giving my ID and NOW I can't even blow my atty!! I do have a milk steamer on my coffee maker. Think I'll try the steam method (trying not to burn my fingers..should be interesting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erika Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 She used pliers to hold the atties. Do not hol them with your hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
