How to clean atomizer

I knew you'd love it!

The comments of one person who bought one, and didn't love it, said he cleaned some electronic boards that were dead and they worked again. So if it'll clean up jewelry and electronic boards, it ought to clean an atomizer!

I just saw 'em on ebay for $15 bucks. A little smaller...but atomizers are little anyway. So are my rings. I think I need one of those.

I'm shocked to know that you don't already have one...

i revers blow thru mine with no cart in.. it heats up the coil more than normal and burns the crud of.. apart from that a straight forward rinse under a running tap seems to work as well as anything.. but i am convince these things just wont last long whatever u do with them.. in essence they are disposable items and need replacing every so often.. how often depends on how much use they get.. some just die completely but all produce less vapour after xxx number of puffs..

i recon two weeks at full efficiency for a 30 a day man trying to replace his normal cigs with them.. a placebo man will get more use from them..

as for any particulates i think they stay in the cart wool and the atomizer wool they dont pass into the lungs.. boiling water in a a kettle leaves the junk in the kettle.. condensed steam is pretty pure water.. the same thing must happen to condensed in the lung e liquid vapour.. any particulates get left in the device..

so i think people who worry about brown looking wool are on the wrong track.. the brown wool is the crud being left behind in the wool and the atomizers need cleaning because of the crud being left behind in the wire wool surrounding the heater coil..

my comments are based on the experience of three "real" thirty a day type smokers trying to replace their tobacco habit with an e devices over a three month period.. the bottom line being these things aint really up to the job.. okay for casual use but not "real" use..

just for interest i have just been playing with a month old e pipe that had gone wimpish.. a wash did nothing.. over-volting to six volts produced clouds of smoke.. more volts seems to make all wimps produce more smoke.. basically a used heater coil dosnt seem to do the business like a new one on the standard lithium 3.7 cell voltage..

whether the wire resistance goes up with use or its a simple crud builld up on the heater coil i dont know.. in this case it revitalized the wimp and its now working okay on its standard battery for whatever reason..

i also noticed the pipe atomizers draw a lot more current (nearly double) than the smaller devices which could explain the large amounts of vapour they produce when working properly..

i recon two to three weeks for an e-cg pipe atomizer given heavy (thirty a day) use after that they drop off..

out of six pipe atomizers atomizers we have had two die completely one after a week one after two weeks.. reasons unknown.. two gone wimpish after two to three weeks use and been retired.. one is still going but only had a weeks use so far.. the month old revitalized veteran is unusual..

i have ordered four more atomizers at a cost of 80 dollars including shipping.. with a nice smoke producing lifespan of two weeks it works out at ten dollars per week in atomizers per person..

You'll see liquid in the morning on the paper towel.

Harry from Janty also states that you can run the atomiser under warm water, add a little detergent, rinse very good, dry it with a hairdryer, and leave it sitting overnight.

I have done that, and it does make a difference.

what I heard from the seller I order , I was also asking him any tips to maintain the atomizer to be durable

he told me example the cart can smoke 200+ puffs , u smoke around 200 puffs than use the left over liquid to dip the atomiser to make the atomiser moist. becos atomiser when dry will spoil. wonder it works?I haven;t try because still waiting for my first e cigarette.
