Thanks for the tip

Next I guess is the Everclear method if what I do fails after a while?

Vinegar does seem to work for me. Especially on cakey black stuff that for some bizzare reason builds up on the side of the Pilot atomizer.

They'll probably come up with something new by then Faethe

Well, let me inform you of my failures and successes with atomizer cleaning.

I killed 3 901 atomizers the first week I had my 901 by oversteaming them. Play the dirge. Since then (about 2+ months) I have been using the same atomizers with great success. I use the steamer method. I put them in front of the steamer with the nozzle pointing down and use 3 quick blasts into the battery side. This not only removes excess liquid, but I find little pieces of black gunk on the rag I have under the steamer. This must be the carbon about which everyone above is talking. So far it seems to be working well. If necessary, a second treatment is done AFTER they have cooled down.

The 401/402 atomizers (only a week older than the 901s) are faring just as well using the same treatment.

A plain and simple way to clean your atomizers is ...Coke a cola

The acid effects in the coke corrodes the residue build up of E-liquid on the atomizer coil

(1) Wash atomizer(s) in luke warm water
(2) Blow access water out of att
(3) pour coke into a cup or bowl (what ever) and let the atomizer(s) sit in the coke for abit (cart end up)
(4) flush attomizer(s) with water and blow out access water
(5) Let sit until dry, fill with e-liquid....you're good to go

Ooh Ok somebody already suggested the Coke method..

Well that was a pointless post

[ted26]

I pumped coke through my att for 2 hours which cleaned it but made no real noticable difference!

I cleaned five 901 atomizers with the coke remedy ted ..it did fix one of them but the rest not so much.. well maybe a little

the other four att's must have been to far gone ...still yet to try it on my pen att's

An ultrasonic machine is my next purchase, that method from what i hear is a near fool proof one ...but as with the coke remedy the atomizers can't be at the stage where they are to far gone for it to work....

Rick--there is the key--the atomizer can not be to the point that they are cold--too much build up on the coil. I sent out Terraphon 3 more atomizers to run some more testing with and some new ideas are coming on board this weekend so be on the watch out for the new videos of the findings and results--Sun
