    Default Cleaning Atomizer with Polident

    I cleaned an atomizer by soaking it overnight with Polident the other day and thought I would share the results.

    I needed to clean one of my Janty atomizers as it started tasting bad. The atomizer was rinsed in warm water then covered in water with one polident tab and left to soak overnight. The next morning I blew it out as best I could and stood it on end to dry out. Later that day I blew it out again and put 3 drops of juice on the atomizer before using it. When I first started using it I was very dissapointed. Much harder to draw and not much smoke. Thought about throwing it away. I put it up for a while and tried again after a couple of hours. Much better this time. Seems the atomizer was still holding a bit of water which the juice needed time to displace.

    The next day, I am very happy with the results. It is easier to draw than a new Janty cartridge and the smoke is very heavy again. Best of all the bad taste is gone.

    Polident... Interesting ... May just have to give this a try....

    You have dentures Brian?

    Yeah, you gotta make sure to get all the water out, and allow the eliquid to soak the atomizer.

    P.S. = My PM Mailbox gets really full, really fast, so bear with me if it takes me a few days to get to your PM :) Don't forget, you can always contact us at info@puresmoker.com :)

    Yes I have dentures. Like them better than the original teeth LOL. The Polident did put a bit of menthol tast in the atomizer (Likely because it hadn't fully dried) and it smelled minty fresh. No problem for me as I'm a menthol guy anyway. Interstingly though, the draw feels much lighter now.

    hmmmmmm.....

    I use vinegar and water ... mainly because its cheap and readily available everywhere. Haven't had any issues, just gotta make sure to rinse the vinegar water out real well, or the first few puffs will be nice and VINEGARY ... lol ...

    Mint aftertaste sure do sound better than a vinegar aftertaste! Does Polident like bubble and fizz like alkeseltzer (sp?) ???

    Yup. Plenty of bubbles. I figured if it can remove tar and nicotine stains from dentures it should be good for atomizers.

    You convinced me! I'm actually making a video on how to clean atomizers this weekend! Maybe we should go with Polident for the "Special Effects" (aka, the bubbles ... lol)

    Awesome Idea Brian!!! Thanks

    One of the things I was worried about is how the paint on the atomizer would stand up to the Polident. Didn't seem to affect it but it may take a couple more cleanings to discover any problems.

    I don't know. You would think if it was caustic enough to eat paint it wouldn't be used as a denture cleaner. As I said though, no problems thus far.

    The atomizer seems to have crapped out on me again. Became harder to draw and less smoke. I keep my carts topped off and drip so it is not that. Put the same cart in a new atomizer and it works well. Been using it heavily for a month so it may just be wore out. Or I may be oversaturating it with juice. Going to try cleaning it again with Polident and this time use two pills. If that doesn't mess up the paint I'd say its safe.
