I know that when you have the penn style, it's good to take the cart out at night, and leave it on a paper towel upsidedown.

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.

Thanks hanneke but surely putting cartridge up side is just going to make the nicotine drip isnt it not best to just keep it horizontal ? anybody else have any different methods

she, sanneke, is right. i've used isopropyl alcohol as well, but i haven't seen any magic from any of the cleaning methods. maybe a marginal increase in vapor but not ground-shaking.

I have started to drain mine overnight though.
