My Atty Resurrection Method

[househippie]

I just tried this, not sure I heard a pop, but now my VV just blinks when I put the atty on it and push the button. Does that mean I killed it?

Sounds like your battery may be dead...just recharge and try again.

Edit: just realized this was from Dec

i tried a method very similar to this that was on the general maintenance page where you use baking soda and vinegar to push liquid through the atty to clean it. The first time it worked great, but the second time...I did everything like that method said, but i also added the water part of this method, where you blow water out the atty by filling the barrel. It seemed okay, but i think i dislodged the wick because now everytime i get a horrible burning taste, its been dried and refilled with 50/50 PG to VG and still burnt taste.

I think if you blow too hard you can dislodge the wick. anyone want to confirm??

Can someone let me know if they had done this for their Joye eGO-T? I really don't understand the steps as I am a newbie and still haven't gotten my eGO-T kits in mail yet lol.

Really glad I stumbled upon this thread before I shelled out for an ultrasonic cleaner. Following the original instructions to the letter, 20 minutes later I had 3 de-bridged atties running just like new again. I now understand the importance of dry burning coils to remove the gunk. Awesome technique, thanks for the great advice.

I like to also use a needle to scrape the ash off the coils after a nice burn... makes sure its perfectly clean... its a must for some stickier juices that dont come completely clean : )

I'm using toothpicks to give em a scrape. Bobba's B seems to be gunking them up more than my home brewed juice but I would expect that as its pretty dark and sticky

Bobas is definitely one the dirtier/stickier/darker juices in my collection... using a toothpick is a good idea, might get rid of the funk without damaging the coils like a pin could. I started doing this because I found that rinsing alone won't get some of the ashy residue off of the coils...

Will this work on an eGO-T atty?
