As for a new vaper, I am disgusted to switch atomizers so often, because, to be honest, I am BUSY and LAZY. So I want to find out a solution to deal with it. Luckily, an experienced vaper told to me on line recently, he told me that there are two main causes to shorten atomizer’s lifespan and weaken the taste: the first one is about the the oxidating coil, another one is that the coil is glued by e-juice carbides.

At first, I am a little confused, when he explained why they are, and I acknowledged more about vaping. He make a simple example to me: the peeled apple putting alongside in the air is more easily to be oxidated, and the color of pulp in the surface will change, which will weaken the original taste and the reaction of enzymatic browning to food will happen without any precaution, the cause of coil being oxidated is similar to this. As for another point, the e-juice carbides can be produced in each atomizer, just because the e-juice’s vital ingredients including PG & VG will discompose carbon while heating up, the e-juice carbides will always be glued to coil. As a result, the combination of them will shorten the atomizer’s lifespan and weaken the taste.

As for these complaints, do you agree or any points to replenish? And i want to ask, do you know any atomizer can solve both problems?

Atomizers are going to die over time. I would suggest that you research which atomizers have the longest life span. Maybe a longer lasting atomizer will work better for you. You can also try researching and using RBA's with premade coils. You will have to do more work with wicking than changing an atomizer but you may find it more convenient over time.

FYI-- darker and sweeter ejuices tend to gunk up coils faster than say a fruit flavor or an ejuice you can see through.
Also, if you could list what type of gear you are using along with type of ejuice, it will be easier for others to offer solutions/suggestions.

Coil oxidation should not bother you, it have (almost) nothing to do with it's lifespan. Main problem - products of thermal decomposition of juice (but there are no carbides), especially decomposition of sweeteners. Using juice with no sweeteners at lower temperature (or Watts) will prolong coil lifespan, but you may not like such vaping style.

Me thinketh you delve too deep into thine abyss!
Darker eliquids will cause a buildup of thickened eliquid when heated (Yea, that's mostly what Alien said). Just like leaving the coffee pot on over night with 1/8 inch of coffee is going to crud the bottom of the pot. (Reminds me.. I need more coffee...)
I can use unflavored eliquid, even with additional sweetener, and have no buildup in a week. If I use my double chocolate, even at 3%, I can gunk up a coil in 3 days.

Use a rebuildable system, dry burn your coils as needed, rinse and rewick. You'll be happy!
