I wrote this up for cleaning your kayfun or Russian atty, but it is basically the same process I use for any new atomizer.
Completely disassemble, I mean everything. Anything that can be unscrewed needs to come apart.
Every oring needs to come off.
The center pin insulator on the top of the deck needs to come out. (easy to do)
I did not attempt to remove the insulator at the bottom of the 510 connector though.
All orings got dropped into a coffee cup with hot water and dish soap to soak while I did the rest of the cleaning. I put the clear plastic tank into the water/soap with the orings.
Took a small coffee cup and put all the parts into it.
Filled it with 99% iso alcohol. Would have preferred pure grain alcohol, but we can't have that in california.
All the screws and small parts went into a shot glass and filled with 99% alcohol.
There everything sat for about a hour.
I agitated the cups every 10 minutes or so.
I then took an old tooth brush and scrubbed the parts while they were wet with the alcohol.
Be very careful when cleaning/rinsing the small parts. You don't wanna drop one of those down the drain.
I usually plug my sink, and put a large bowl over the drain to catch anything I may drop.
Back into the alcohol they went.
About 10 minutes.
Then they come out and get rinsed in hot tap water.
Some people go the extra mile at this point and boil them. I don't feel the need to though.
NOW, everything gets laid out onto a paper towel.
I take my tooth brush and squeeze some dish soap onto it and scrub 1 part at a time.
Rinse the part in hot water, then onto a fresh paper towel to dry.
Repeat this for every part!
I rinse the tooth brush and reapply soap for each part.
You need to clean down the airholes as well.
I used a piece of twisted up kanthal and got inside of there. Blow through the airhole and repeat.
Once you've done this to every part, you are ready to wrap and build.
