Does boiling the atomizer have any effect (good or bad) on its life expectancy?

i.e. is this a method of making it last longer or is this just intended to clean / unclog them?

I would tend to think it increases the lifespan because there's less chance of the coil frying.

When they get coated with gunk, the li'l coil needs to be worked harder/hotter to produce vapour because it doesn't transfer to the liquid as well.

Well My atomizer died I think. Not sure. I tried boiling it after the fact and it looks like a bunch of stuff did come out, but its simply not producing any vapor for me. Looks like Im going to have to return it, since its about 2 days old.

Cash - when do you boil? I mean, do you do it proactively (every so often), or when you notice a decrease in performance? etc

I tried boiling a few atomisers - some were not working at all, and a couple of other had acquired a strange taste. (It didn't seem to do any good for the really dead ones)

Do you see much gunk coming out of these when you're boiling? I didn't seem to get much.

I'm a newb and boiled one of my rather new atomizers because the stock 0mg stuff tasted nasty and the taste wouldn't leave.
I was worried but it worked, and the flavor was gone.

I did have a small issue of dripping the juice where it needed to go. But once I did (with a syringe) it started smoking right up.
