spoolinst Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 New here still waiting my arrival of my 510 but how many months can i expect to get out of the ecig? with proper cleaning do they actually last a while? or should i be ordering a backup already?

KarateLobster Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 On average I would say about 4 weeks from an atomizer. Again, that's an average based on my experience. If you haven't already I would order a few (say 4) atomizers to have as backups as that will most likely be the first thing to go. I think the jury is still out on whether or not cleaning extends or shortens the life of atomizers, everyone seems to have a different opinion on the matter.

Christopher Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 As Karate said the atomizer is what needs changed most often, (every 4-6 weeks) and understable given the amount of work it does. The batteries will last weeks. Seriously. Especially on the 510. Other ecig batteries would crap out pretty quick, maybe around 4-5 weeks if the liquid got inside. However the 510 battery is sealed, I have the 510 batteries from my original review and they still work great. (8-9 weeks now) The LED isn't as bright but that's about it.

VegasVapor Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Do you guys know if it's possible to overcharge your battery and shorten it's life? I thought I had an issue a few days ago with that. Left a battery charging overnight, but it didn't work the next morning. Got about 2 weak puffs out of it, then the LED started blinking. I don't know what happened, but charged it with my PCC and now it works again. Just wondering if it's bad to leave a battery on the charger for too long, possibly giving it the opposite effect and draining the battery?

Christopher Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Na I think your ok, I've had that happen is well, although only with the 510 battery for some reason. I leave my batteries in the charger overnight all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaKracker Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I started vaping back in March 09 and I never had a atty go bad I've had 3 battery's go bad due to sticky switch but not one atty I started with a penstyle and still use the same atty every day on my homemade passthrough I don't clean my attys just blow them out once or so a week when they feel clogged and after I blow them out I hold button down for about 5 to 10 sec. to try and cook of any remaining juice. Been doing that for a couple months and all work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
