so... boiling atomizers??

[GrimmGreen]

i guess i still consider myself a "new member"

anyway , am i missing something or do people boil their atomizers to clean them ? it just seems like it would ruin the hell out of it... aren't there circuits and wires in there?

someone enlighten me

also , i have a "fake" 901 atomizer

Grimm--As a last resort many do--I have and have gotten mixed results--at best whimpy--but others post they swear by it--so if you have a dead one, give it a go. As for a good one--IMO--no way as preventive cleaning--Sun

I have boiled all 4 of my atomizers several times. They are all still working. I haven't felt the need to for a while though. I just blow through mine then stand them up overnight, cart end down on a piece of kitchen towel.

Here is a whole thread on cleaning atomizers.

cool thanks for clearing that up , i have also been using the blow 'n' stand technique ... hmmm that sounds dirty

i just run hot water through mine and blow through it afterwards, usually everytime I switch flavors of juices. Works great for me, im on the same Evo atomizer now for 2 months! No kidding..

One recommendation i will make if you are thinking of boiling. Don't let the atmoizers bounce around on the bottom of a pan. I'll hold them off bottom by putting them on a slotted spoon or something similar. I think i killed one of mine by allowing it to bounce around too much and that could of broke loose a not too well soldered wire.

I actually pulled apart my one dead atomizer yesterday. I was bored at work and wanted to know just what is inside one of them things. All there is for electrics is two wires going and a heating element. No pcbs or chips or anything. The wires are about the thickness of a dogs hair so i try not to bump mine too much.

So far for the last three weeks the blow, stand and drain method seems to be working just fine.

all the electronics are in the battery, dont boil that . i've never boiled, but i had one not performing well, so i swooshed it around in a foam cup filled with like 2 inches of cool water for like 10 minutes(i was at work...) i let it dry for like half hour, and it works fine...

I boil mine once a week for good measure. A minute or two is good, I've never ruined an atomizer by boiling. I figure it prevents the crud buildup if I do it before it needs it. I've been on the same M401 atomizer since late December and it works just like it did out of the box.

you can also boil your cartridge material. same thing, once a week on sundays, I rinse out, then boil everything I've used during the week. Don't boil the plastic cart itself though!

how do you get the material out of carto to clean them

[vapnthecravin]

You don't remove the material from the carto's they are 1 piece just boil them blow them out and dry over night. I find that boiling them twice each for 15 min then rinse with cold water works best
