Jolly Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 good vid if they are really gunked up you can put them in 1 cup water and 1 of vinegar, boil it for about 5 mins. clean them off under regular tap water, then 2 cups water boiling for 5 mins. dry and set them somewhere. vinegar has 3% acid that will break down the crust.

Stirfry Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 i used to do everclear. until i ran out. now, to be honest, i get them clean like new with just boiling water. if they don't get clean i just do it again or leave them soak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjim Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I actually tried the vinegar thing today. I have five atty's that, no matter what I do, just taste really bad. They're drying out now, hopefully by morning I'll have some normal tasting vapor again. Thx for the tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uma Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Thanks for the tips, especially for the cartomisers. There might be hope for mine yet. Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 i have seen alot of questions about cleaning and when to clean atomizers and cartomizers. so i thought i would help. Very nice vid Ben. Just wish I could say WEEKS when talking about attys. For me it's only DAYS I know, keep em wet and don't dry burn. Use only JOYE 510's. I've tried everything. Maybe I just vape too much. I vape more than I used to smoke. Oh well, that's just me. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hi, I watched this video in the early days, but I didn't really pay a lot of attention. Then when I posted a couple of days ago that my attys are tasting funky you suggested I look at this video. My attys are piling up and I am going to try to refurbish some of them. Thanks for doing the video. Signed, slow on the uptake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profbeard Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I must confess that I haven't cleaned an atty or carto ( except for my Bulli repairable atty) in over two years. I just use 'em and bin 'em. The reason being that when I first started vaping I tried cleaning and, whilst it did indeed result in clean things, it had no impact on atty life ( as measured in mls of juice put through them rather than time).

harrymudd Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Your trick worked! By golly it saved me a lot of hassle. I had a sauce pan I was going to throw away not to mention three atomizers. Now I tried two of them and they are as good a new! Thanks. I owe you one for saving me a lot of hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
