Many ways being described around here.... Just to name a few

- boil some water, drop in, leave for a few min, rinse, dry, prime, vape
works pretty good
- drop into mouthwash for a few min, rinse, dry etc.
works very good but leaves an aftertaste (maybe not enough rinsing?)
- alcohol (vodka

)....
- peroxide (scares me)
- cola (trying it as we speak....)

FWIW, Chris

i've just cleaned mine with water.. i may need to try and employ these other methods.

alcohol works fine, 5 minute swish and dry completely. I have no need in trying anything else...

Oh, and the coke could eat the paint off, fyi.

Coke also cleans car battery terminals but I've used it for a long time to clean my attys (followed by a water rinse and hair dryer) and while I wouldn't recommend any atty-bath for an extended period of time - for some reason it seems to be able to rid the atty of that annoying "cross flavoring" that occurs when you vape multiple flavors.

Not every flavor combo is appealing. Vaping fruit flavors after menthol is the e-cig equivilant to drinking orange juice after brushing your teeth. It's about as tasty as frozen mustard on a stick.

I have used just isopropyl alcohol. soak for a couple of minutes rinse and let dry over night.
Works Great

to clean the flavor Vodka, 1 or 2 dollars for one once bottle,the higher the alcohol %the best and dries fast.

to remove some of the carbons the cola,water and vodka.

if you can get pure alcohol better than vodka.

but i'd rather a new atmy every 2 weeks or less after that time they only are good for raining time, I only clean to clean the flavor
