Cleaning the Attys

[surbitonPete]

I guess I'm going to need MORE than my 38 I have stashed in attys if the ban hits. Guess I'll have to put in another order with Beci for another 50. Without atty's we cannot vape! We can always have mods to use for the battery part, but attys are priceless!

The supplier who stocks up and exclusively sells all the various types of atomizers for the 'cheapest' price is going to be on a winner.

You mean if there is a ban? I buy them cheap from Beci for about $5 a piece from China. Or are you meaning suppliers here stocking up incase of a ban?

Lucky, have you tried that 'poke a pin through the battery end'
method.

Maybe your hard-to-draw attys have just got a smaller central hole than
usual, in the metal wick.
This was posted by someone a while back, can't remember what post though.

I think they are 3 little brats if you ask me. I may spank them.

I have never done anything but run the hottest water my sink can muster through my RN 4081 atomizers then let them air dry for a day and they have performed great for the last 3 months. I have a third atomizer I have never even used other than testing it to make sure it works.

My first atomizer I did something stupid with and thought I did damage that could not be repaired. As it turns out, after finding this forum, I tried flushing the atomizer with hot water from the sink and managed to restore it to good quality again.

For the record, it is never a good idea to try and vape solids in your PV.

Hard drawing atomizers are not always a result of gunky buildup on the atomizer coil. Sometimes it has everything to do with air flow which goes back to my initial post about comparing atomizers from the same vendor or from a different vendor. If the airflow is reduced, you will have to draw harder. I am not yet ready to sugest a remedy for airflow as I am still working on methods to provide that.

If you want to try and clean your atomizers, do not go crazy. Soak them in a solution of hot water and white vinegar for an hour or so, rinse well, blow out moisture and set upside down overnight. try in the morning.

Okay I gave them a boiling bath in white vinegar and water this time, I poked them (hehe) and I spanked them bad and then I rinsed them and blew them out so we'll see what happens. They will sit and dry a few days then I'll prime them let them sit and then try them again. If that doesn't work, they are going in the funeral bin box until someone comes up with something someday, which they will, to revive them. lol

Funny, we posted at the same time and that is exactly what I did with the vinegar. I know it's not build up on the coils cuz 2 of them are brand new! The 3 week old one is pure silver coil still.

If that doesn't work, just run the effers over with your car
