So my all day vape is pretty much Freedomsmokes Wyatt Earp. Love it. :laugh:

It's is very thick and dark, which I understand can make cleaning more of a challenge. I have had mixed results with different techniques like alcohol baths, wash/dry burn, etc. Sometimes one method works great while the other doesn't and sometimes it is the other way around. Have not quite found the fail safe one to use that works every time....

Anyone out there who uses the Earp often found the best way to keep attys clean?

Love my Wyatt too. I have an atty that pretty gets used for vaping Wyatt only. It has been in use since November. I have only cleaned it 3 times. All I do is heat some distilled water in a coffee cup in the microwave. Syringe through from the top about 40-50mls. It cleans out most of the residue on the mesh. Lightly blow excess water out, drip a few drops and put it right back on. Vape it till the water is gone.

Not much for the atty cleaning rituals. I have killed 3 attys while vaping and at least 6 from cleaning. Keeping it real simple.

OFTEN haha. WE is one of the tuffer ones imo on attys and even tuffer on my CE2s. It's also my ultimate favorite and has been since I started, lucky me.

There's lots of cleaning methods, different ones work best for different people. I've read quite a bit lately about people having very good results with a Ultrasonic Cleaner and I'll probably give that a shot at some point. I been doing a do a rinse under warm water then a alcohol soak, blow it out, then dry burn. Works as well or better for me than anything I've tried so far.

jewelry cleaner i want to know more

Here's how I clean cartomizers in a jewelry cleaner.

Put on some water to heat but not boil...you don't want to damage the cleaner.
Sling/shake each cartomizer into your sink to remove all of the remaining liquid you can get out.
Rinse with hot water and sling/shake again. Do this a couple/three times.
Pour hot water into jewelry cleaner.
Drop cartomizers in.
Cycle 4-5 times (mine has 3 minute cycles).
Drain off water.
Refill with hot water again.
Cycle 2 more times.
Drain and carefully remove cartomizers.
Rinse under hot water and sling/shake all the water you can get out...listen to your sink.
Load into a food dehydrator. I have the kind that has a top blower fan to circulate warm air.
Turn on high and leave for 12 hours.
Fill and vape.
**NOTE: For fatter cartomizers or long one's, dry time will vary. Just make sure that they are totally dry before using.


For atomizers in a jewelry cleaner:

Put on some water to heat but not boil...you don't want to damage the cleaner.
Rinse atomizers under hot water and blow out.
Load cleaner with hot water then add atomizers.
Cycle for 5 x 3 minute cycles.
Drain water off.
Refill with hot water and cycle 2 more times.
Drain water and remove atomizers.
Rinse in hot water and blow out.
Leave overnight to dry or give them a short dry burn but dry burning is not necessary.
After completely dry, prime and enjoy.

I hope this helps everyone.
