I had a friend from work tell me that she uses a can of compressed air (typically for cleaning your keyboard, I believe) to clean her e-cig connections and atomizer.

I tried it today, and it does work well. I also find that cleaning the connections often helps too - for some reason, I find dark gunk on the end of the battery - I just use a clean paper towel to do this.

For whatever reason though - I still get a funky taste with the 901 atomizers I have. Just ordered a USB pass through for the 901 too; I hope it doesn't disapoint.

Compressed air will work for loose debris, but not for "baked on" gunk. That will require some soaking or perhaps it can be burned off if your e-smoke has that feature.

Thank you - what do you soak them in, and for how long?

Sink it in a cup of isopropyl alcohol and dry it afterwords.
