Busted my atomizers from cleaning

[Antig]

Hey, I recently tried to boil my 510 atomizers to clean them. It was in there for 3 minutes if that means anything.

When I took them off, I blew on the hole and wiped them down to dry it off. Then I used a hairdryer and dried it for quite a while. I blew it through the hole again to make sure it dried.

When I put it back on and tried it out, no vapor was coming out. What?! It seems like I have busted all 3 of them.

What went wrong? And is there some way to fix them?

does the atty still warm up?or is it cold? if cold then i'm sorry for your loss if not add 2-3 drops to atty bridge and give it a few min to soak in good. put on a fresh cart and good luck. this is why i always say to just blow out or drain. its not that it will kill it but it may KISS,( keep it simple....).

If you are lucky they might not be dead ...just too dry, but I have killed a couple of atomizers by trying cleaning them like that myself.

Usually water remains in the metallic wool whatever method you use for drying.

Put some juice inside and puff for 20-30 times, the water will eventually boil out and then it will start to work (if the atty connector to the battery side is intact and not shorted).

Thanks for the suggestions! I put like 5 drops of juice in each one and let it soak then blew it out. It works fine now! Thank goodness. Looks like I'll be doing an alternative way of cleaning from now on.
