I think Boba's Bounty juice kills my eRoll atty's

[JP_Guinness]

Anyone have this experience? I went through two five-packs of eRoll atty's from LitecigUSA in two weeks. At first I thought it was the atty's, but when I switched back to HHV's Legend juice this month, I'm still using the same two atty's and its been more than a week.

What are the rules here? Is it a pg/vg thing? Viscosity? What can I vape with my eRoll without going through 5 attys per week?

Boba's, being 100 % VG will kill carto's and atties quicker than juices with less VG concentration.

Try cleaning them before they die....

If the eroll attys are like the ego C tank system atties be careful with dark sweet juices too. Those destroyed em fast for me

Any sort of solid flavorings added into liquids will gunk those teeny coils up real quick. You may be able to just save em till you have 5 built up, boil em for 20 minutes, and use again.

How did you kill it? Did it pop a coil or is it just gunked up?

Just clean your atties. I vape BB with my eroll with no problems cleaning the atty every 3-4 tanks. I have atty's that are 2 months old.

Just pop off the top of the atty and soaking it in alcohol for 10 minutes, then rinse it with hot water. After that put it on the battery and stand in front of a mirror and blow from the led side until the coil glows. At that point I glow the coil for 3-5 second bursts until it's clean. Then I put a drop of juice on the coil and on the wick and push the top back on and it's ready to go.

I tried that I was never able to get the top back on. Those things are tiny and not the easiest thing to deal with.

Just put the base of the atomizer on a counter top, grasp the tip of the atomizer with some needle nose pliers, eyeball to make sure the tip is perfectly level with the base, and rock it back in.

Chances are your atomizers are fine. They just need to be cleaned. You are flushing money down the toilet by not cleaning them.

Counter top and needle nose, exactly what I do. The needle nose I use are flat on the sides and not curved, so aligning the top with the base is no problem.

At $25 for a pack of 5, I can't afford to not clean them.

Very good advice guys. I have a bunch of old ones saved up ,I'll clean em and see what happens. ...funny, I've been vaping for years, but switched to cartos months after starting. I forgot all about cleaning attys. I did though read a post about cleaning these c-types a couple months ago. The guy suggested soaking in Crest Proclean Mouthwash. Bad idea...atty tasted like absolute crap after.

Don't use a needle nose pliers. You will leave tooth marks on the spike, which can cause leaks. Use a small flat head screwdriver inserted into the slots on the the top, prying gently on each side.

Make sure you soak the attys first. The wick can become fused to the coil from juices.

I saw a video demo about cleaning attys one time where the guy said not to use alcohol as a cleaning agent, as this could be dangerous because any leftover alcohol is dangerous to inhale into out lungs. Is this too over cautious, or should I actually be worried about this?

I think that applies to isopropyl alcohol. If you must use isopropyl alcohol, if you go to your local pharmacy, they should be able to special order it for you if they don't stock it, It will cost you about $4 for a 16oz bottle.

I would use:

• Spirytus Stawski(polish vodka, 96% Alcohol/192 proof, very hard to find in the U.S. out side of the Chicago area)
• Everclear(95% Alcohol/190 proof prefered, some area's cant sell that kind and have it diluted to 75.5%/151 proof)
• Moonshine(Easy for me to get here in SW Virginia, you may be able to get it in the DC area)
• Devil's Springs Vodka (80% Alcohol/160 proof)

I use Everclear, because I know the other 5% is water and I can't get Spirytus here. I have a luthier friend who lives in Louisiana and went to school in Chicago and only uses Spirytus to clean the electronics on the guitars he is repairing, he has a distributor there order it for him by the case.

When you do a dry burn that should evaporate the remaining alcohol.

I have a pair of needle nose locking pliers that I just keep in my ecig toolbox just for these atties. I adjusted the locking on them and put foam weatherstripping on the teeth. Nothing had been damaged so far.

To replace a spike, I first position it on the body, pressing it in just enough to get the edges in. Then I press the spike in with a flat metal object. I usually use a dull hobby knife or a butter knife. I position the edge of the knife up against the spike, flat over the base. I press my thumb against the contact side and work my way around the spike, spinning the atomizer as I go. Press it in just a bit at a time so it goes in evenly.

No pliers, no scratching, no damaged contacts, and the spike sits completely flush on the body.
