Lost My First Atty Today

[soso]

I had my first atty die on me today. Ironically it is also the newest one I own - a LR 510 Tank atomizer.

It's the same story you've seen a thousand times - used intensely, with all kinds of different juices.. mostly thick VG ones, recently.

It was performing great right up until it just went cold completely.

Oh well. At least I still have my drip backups.

Has anyone brought a tank atty back from the dead?

Mostly, dead is dead and won't come back. occasionally you will get one that seems to be dying and with a little rest and cleaning, will come back to life (at least temporarily). I have a small box of dead and dying atty's (can't seem to bring myself to throw them out).

Backups, backups, backups !!!

RIP dear little Atty.

If you have a multi meter you can check the ohms to make sure it's really dead. Some tomes it's just not making a connection.

A good rule of thumb is that on average an atty will take around 40ml of juice vapid through before dying...

There may yet be a use for those old dead atties. Old Goat Mods have actually posted elsewhere that they are interested in buying old, dead atties. I actually sent him 60 old atties and got a free bottom feeder in return!
