atty issue.....but ends well :)

[sam.8]

I enjoy dripping, and as a result enjoy attys I bought a new one a few weeks ago, titanium colored. It rocks. I also recently got a new LR one, enjoy it as well. I have four others, two from my first 510 kit (two months ago) and another one 2 I bought, one never had a nice draw and the other one rocked. It died a month later. Fair enough, it was well used Couldn't even hear a faint fizzle. Tossed it, and now have my titanium colored one I love.

Well it died on my dog walk no vapor, no taste......sucked. Got back and since I could hear a "trying to sizzle", I ran it under hot water, soaked it in vinegar and baking soda, soaked in hot water, and blowed. put it on the battery and a nicer sizzle, did that 3 x. Added 3 drops, got some vapor, puffed a bit more, dry....added more and boom..... back in business

So although I have back ups, I really like this atty and thanks to all the "how to clean atty" threads I've read, thank you! Thank you for helping me to resurect my favorite atty!!

I've used the vinegar and baking soda trick before too and it works. I've also soaked them in vodka for a couple hours (vodka turns a shade of light brown) then blowing it out. Works wonders! Gotta make these suckers last at 5-10 bucks a pop!
