Getting Annoyed : This is an effective method of prolonging atomisers

Hi kinaba ......do you know that link at the bottom of your posts doesn't direct to anything??

Did you take photos of your tests? A start will be to compile a list of how much deposit to expect from commercial flavors. As you said, some might not give much in quantity but be especially resilient. But the quantity is the key matter.

Sorry, I have not take photos of my tests! But, If I can solve a problem that I have here today, I will make some short videos of my tests! I will post them!

I didn't read through all the posts,,but this method desintegrates the wicking material inside the coil prematurely.

Possible, at least with some models, depending what the material is.

I have given up cleaning an atty when it remains cold after conventional methods of cleaning failed to reactivate...I have pulled them apart to see what happened, and always the coils are coated with that varnish type charcoal glob. Thickly. The only thing that would clean that stuff is oven-cleaner!! Oh, and I am NOT recommending doing that, OK? It doesn't work on aluminum or SS cookware either!!
Throw them away, replace and get on with it.

If it was just a matter of nuisance, i would agree.

The important point is that black blob came from our juice and while it was forming and degrading, we are inhaling some of it.

'Hey,attys aren't so expensive, what's the big deal' misses the point

'We need better atty designs' also misses the point (although I am keen to work on this)

'I can just clean it off successfully with XYZ' also misses the point (but is of some interest meantime)

Non-deposit-forming juices are the key.

Kinabaloo, you are looking into different brands of flavors I hope? Mostly all that is used and discussed seems to be LorAnne - but you might have seen the test KnutselPeter did on the Bickford appel? Almost completely clean... and there are other brands out there too.

Indeed. There's no reason for a juice to leave a deposit because the deposit will never be tasted anyway. Menthol and vanilla should be pretty clean too. Even a chocolate could be clean ...
