Maintain Attys

[FaniFox]

I have some new EGO-T attys that I have bought, emptied from primer, tried to check they are firing and now I want to keep them away for future use - that can be a month or a year.
What's the best way to maintain them? Is it OK to just left them sitting? Do I need to clean them before doing that? Or do I need to fill them with a primer or something else (PG liq maybe?) to keep them moist and not oxidized?

prime them with vodka

Vodka, and any other alcohol, will evaporate. This might be ok if you keep them in a sealed bag or container, but I'm not sure it would really have the desired effect. Clean with alcohol, prime with liquid and store...

The primer they ship with is typically either 100% PG or 50%PG/50%Vg. This will keep the coil from rusting.

i always use vodka but put the carto condoms on each end

Not everyone has vodka sitting around but if you are vaping you most likely do have pg/vg. Sounds like the way to go to me. That is what I do along with putting condoms on each end.

i never had pg\vg even when i was vaping for over a year straight

Thank you all. Yes, I do have PG, VG and Vodka. Which is the best?
Please notice, they are not cartomizers, they are EGO-T attys, so I don't have condoms for each end. Will a plain plastic bag (maybe a zipped one) do the trick?

Personally, I just clean them and let them sit in the box that they came in. Some feel as if they have to let them soak in some PGA so that it won't get to dry. Never felt a need to do that since all of my EGO-T atties still work great.

I just clean them and leave them sitting in a drawer. I haven't had any problems doing it that way.

As long as it's in a controlled environment where temp and humidity won't change much no need to do anything. Just clean them and let them sit till you're ready to use them again.

You could claen them again before use if it's been a very long time if it makes you feel better, probably not needed though, you'd have to do it anyway if you stored them with anything in it.

Nothing tastes worse than a rusty atty... I'd really put a drop or two of PG in there...
