Just want to leave a brief tip and i apologize if this has been suggested before. I have been cleaning my atties in iso 90% accompanied by a dry burn for two years now. it has worked great! I have tried boiling and it just kills my atty. The former mentioned method is great imho but depends on a regular routine once that routine is broken I have a clogged dirty atty. especially when using certain juices that are more likely to cake on the sides at 6 volts. I was having issues with a 510 i frequently used on six volts, i have had it for a year. I took a road trip with it and it was caked! so i tried soaking it for a couple days, still didn't get the burnt juice out. so i lit it on fire with the alcohol still on! i did this three times and tipped it over. i let it sit for a day and tried it. works like new! hope this helps. please be careful and be responsible with this method.
