plastic where?

I've boiled a lot, and never had an atomizer stop working. I have had 2 it didn't improve though. And it's funny, a Janty and a Njoy. So far, I have a generic pen I've boiled 4 times, and every time i't s huge improvement. Back to like when I first got them. Hmmmm, am I really THAT lucky?

Ruby, I too used my steamer on 3 901's that got wispy, great results!! Hate the idea of boiling. Steamer is my cleaner from now on. Haven't tried it on a penstyle yet. Will be looking for your results or if one of mine goes, will post my results.

That ceramic core could actually be plastic. Some gaskets could be rubber that can handle that temperature only barely. Then again some types of plastic can handle boiling no problem. You can try poking the core with needle and it feels glassy, it is ceramic or some hard plastic.

Be careful when steaming thou just done a 901 which I have steamed a few times and it blew the atomizer from the casing,instant death.

I've used my method without any problems....

i had nothing to lose with 2 pretty much dead atomizers. it brought one back to life, did nothing for the other. i boiled water in a pan and lowered the atomizers int he water, but kept them on a slotted spoon, boiled for a couple minutes.

I have ruined more boiling, than just using hot water.

Ruby, what's the brand of your mydnite pen?

My cheap pen was slow both before and marginally better (but not optimal like the 901's) after steaming. So far my mydnite pen hasn't needed cleaning yet so will report back when I do clean them.
