The first time I inhaled in lungful of toxic crap I learned about something called the "cleaning cycle" that so many talk about on these boards. For those that are unaware the cleaning cycle apparently happens periodically when the battery "decides" the atomizer needs to be cleaned. The battery heats up the atomizer and burns of the crud, giving you a lungful of ick and poluting your atomizer for what seems like forever.
Some have suggesting cleaning the atomizers, each describing a different method (I am not convinced that any cleaning method works well). I accepted what I was told till I got a usb passthrough and some new atomizers from a different company.
Let me back up here.....
My first e-cig was the Njoy Penstyle- I loved it for about 2 days when it stopped working properly and it tasted like burning tires. I learned more over the next few days and ordered two new generic atomizers (not from Njoy) and a usb passthough for the pensytle. I was in heaven!
The thing is that every single time I put my generic atomizers on the usb passthough it works perfectly and doesn't taste like burning tires. When I move to one of the njoy batteries it does. Back and forth, I've tested it. Battery=burning tire taste. USB=yummy nicotine.
What is happening here? The battery must be to blame- it is burning up the atomizer! I think the cleaning cycle is a myth perpetrated by vendors who are selling us crappy batteries. There is no need for a cleaning cycle! I run my aomizers all month long on the USB passthough and it works perfectly the whole time. A month is a fine lifetime for something that costs as much as two packs of smokes, at least for me it is.. and I haven't had one fail yet! They might last even longer! Where can we get batteries that don't have this mythical "cleaning cycle".
