I am doing it right now...

I just bought some GRAIN ALCOHOL and I am going to plunge my 510's in them for 30 minutes... blow them out...

901s can soak for days...

I'm doing it right now too... Must be a Sunday thing
Everclear (Pure Grain Alcohol) in a Sonic Jewelry Cleaner. You can get the cleaner at Walmart, Amazon etc.

Run 3 cycles of 3 minutes or so then blow out the attys and place them connector up on a paper towel. If you need one quickly you can read about dry burning your atty. I don't recommend it but many do. My juice tasted sooty when I tried it.

Call me crazy...

But I bet if you did an ECF search you might, just might, find one or two threads about how to clean an atomizer.

There are so many ways to clean an atomizer. The problem is finding the method that works best for you. So what's my method? Blow them out at least once a day and soak in 91% Isopropyl Alcohol for about 15-20 minutes when they start getting sluggish. Let them dry out at least overnight to make sure all the IA has evaporated. That usually only happens about once every two weeks or so.

Ultrasonic jewelry cleaner + Denture tablets is my method

I'm told this works really well for cleaning dentures, too!

Thanks, what works best 510 or 901's?

That question can only be answered by you. The 510 probably gives a stronger TH and more vapor, but the 901 tends to let more flavor come through and doesn't have as much TH. I like them both, so I suggest trying both and see what you think!

I'm going to go ahead and disagree with all of the previous posts.


As far as I know the thead below outlines everything you need to know about cleaning atomizers.

Did you rinse it out really well after you were done doing dry burns?
Because if you don't then you're basically vaping all the ashes of all the gunk you burnt off.

Another thing people do wrong when they try dry burns is to not rinse the atomizer out real well first.
If you don't get all the juice out first, you run the risk of baking it into the atomizer mesh.
