Think I'll try this :)

I like my way of doing it.

1) I take a 20oz soda bottle, bore a hole in the cap to a size slightly larger than the top of the atty. I bored from the top, to leave a little bit of the "cap seal" intact, it helps seal around the atomizer.
2) Slide the cap onto the top of the atomizer
3) Fill bottle with ~180 degree (f) water (Distilled if you prefer)
4) Tighten cap on the bottle
5) Invert and squeeze HARD.

This forces water through the atomizer, and when you've squeezed out about 1/2 of the bottle, let go and let the bottle expand, drawing air in through the atomizer, I find this helps dislodge all the gunk that is inside. Then, squeeze out the rest of the bottle.

I then blow out the atty, and repeat the process 2-3 times, blowing it out between each session.

After the final time, I blow it out for about a minute, then let it naturally dry for 24 hours before use.

Prime and vape!

No leftover flavors (I've even gotten rid of menthol this way), clean vape, just like brand new. It improves airflow as well.


See pictures for more detail :) I attempted to make a video, but realized I'm horrid on camera. Maybe I'll get up the nerve to do it again next time I have to clean an atty :)

Heh, glad someone read it!

I was using this method with my old 4081 atomizers as well, although the hole was smaller, and I threaded it so I could screw the atomizer in. With the regular atomizers, I'd flush them both directions.

With the eGo-T atty, if I shove it in the other way, it seems to pop out when I squeeze hard, the taper of the cone just makes it difficult to do from the atty end first.
