in the oven @150 degrees for 15 min. and all dry...
your oven "knob" temp may vary.

i tried rubbing alcohol soak for hours and dry for hours and then had worse problems with my 510 atty - then i did the peroxide burn and rinse and just blew it out without waiting for it to dry - then i primed it with juice and now it works like new - so now i think that drying is not so good

Wow. I literally blew the hell outta my Blu cig atomizer with compressed air (nothing else) and it was like new. I actually coughed because of the hit from drawing on the ecig as much as I had been. I need to suck on it MUCH less now since it's freshly working again.

I had no idea it was this easy. I'm going to try and revive an old atty I thought was done for. I'll post back on how it works out. Thanks guys!

Alcohol doesn't dissolve the hardened deposit on the coil. Coke will, maybe, but only if it isn't too thick already. The purpose of the alcohol is to remove the thickened liquid residue that builds up in the mesh wick. It also helps if you are changing flavors, particularly if you are changing from one of the fruit flavors that seem to "linger" in the atty.

I keep on forgetting what cart I've been using for what flavor juice, so I ended up mixing Rootbeer and Watermelon flavors and it turned out tasting like bubblegum *LOL*

I dunno anymore. I'm still new. At least for my 510, it is looking like it's more important to have a fresh battery than a clean atty. Also, I tried removing the mouthpiece cap on the 510 per a suggestion I saw. After a few days I put the cap back on. It must be that having the cap on slows the airflow through the atty and filler, delivering better throat hit. Still guessing...good luck to everyone

we use a coffe pot cleaner,you can buy at meijers or walmart,let them soak for about 4 hours,then blow them out with compressed air.prime them up again with a drop or two and it should work like new again.

Microwave some vinegar in a small glass then drop your atomizer in. swish it around for a minute and leave it in there for 30-40 min. Take it out and dry out. works like new!

The alcohol folks refer to is prue grain alcohol. Here only available in liquor stores, the brand name is Everclear. It is flamable, drinkable and non toxic unlike rubbing alcohol and evaporates in minutes. I will sometimes add a drop to an atty and smoke(I like the taste). It breaks down the thickened juice in the wire mesh.

I use a minicigarette. One of the atomizers just stopped working >nothing< How do I get it to work again???

Also, where is the best place to get the totally wicked liquid?

It's not the abuse that requires the use of alcohol or cola, it's the harden crud that builds up on the heating coil that folks are trying to dissolve.

You're taking the "abuse" part literally.

All I use is compressed air and never had a problem with the build up on the coil. Guess I'm not ABUSING mine properly.
