before I burn up my 510t .. help!

[tattoogirl]

so got my 510 t and have watched the vids tutorials etc on basically rinsing my atty and then doing the dry burn. However when I hold down the button on my manual the atty doesnt glow orange at all so.. In a few days when it is time to clean these out how exactly do I go about it? I havent found any tutorials for cleaning the 510t attys thanks!

well i have simply been rinsing my atty out, blow out and let it dry for a bit. Seems to be working and removes the last flavor i had in. Had to use some dawn dish soap with the last menthol i tried ugh.

I haven't tried to clean mine yet. I have done a lot of cleaning on the eGo tank atomizers though. I have had much less trouble with the 510Ts happily. I just blow them out usually.

I really can't decide which one I like better the eGo T or the 510 T. The eGo tends to leak but it puts out amazing vapor.

For the 510-t, I just toss the attys in an ultrasonic cleaner with pure grain alcohol. Seems to do the trick I usually don't even dry burn but it might help.

I haven't had mine long, but have had to clean a few atomizers. I do a quick(less than 5 minutes) soak in vodka, blow them out and let them set over night to dry more. That seems to work just fine for me.
You don't have to let them sit if you need one right away, just blow out as much as possible and prime it with some juice and you should be good to go.

You've taken the needleplate out right? What does the coil look like? If it's really black it's going to take a while to glow orange - should smoke up a fair bit though at least until all the black stuff is gone. Then it'll glow orange.

I just do a soak for 10-30 mins in whatever grain alcohol I have, preferably one I like, blow it out, fill and vape. Whatever alcohol is left in there burn off in the first 2-3 hits.

I hope the Vodka ur using is the cheap stuff and not Stoli!

I fill up a small finger bowl with denatured alcohol, and let my eGo-T atty sit for 15 minutes or so. Then, I hold it vertically, so the alcohol can flow through. I dip the atty and let the alcohol flow through a few more times until the flow is smooth and consistent.

Once that's done, I leave them out to dry for 24 - 48 hours, and treat the first few hits as though there's primer inside.

For reference, I have 4 LR's in rotation, and have only had one go bad since May.

I just cleaned my first one.I blew it out as much as I could,then poured about an ounce of everclear through it a little at a time.Then I blew it out some more.I could not believe how much easier it was to blow through.Then I let it sit for a day.Put a couple drops of e-juice on it before use and it worked great.

I wandered into a post here somewhere that suggested denture tablets. Like, the fizzy tablets that you drop in water. I just drop mine in a bowl of that over night, boil them for a few minutes and blow the water out. they work like brand new for me after.

It sounded really kind of strange at first but some juices that I use really clog up and burn on the coil pretty bad, rendering them almost useless. I don't know what's in the tablets but they just loosen all that gunk right up and clean the wicks white again. If you rinse them well after you soak them, I have not detected any residue taste or smell left from the tablets. I don't let them dry out (unless I use alcohol) after I boil them, I just blow them out and go. It takes a few minutes to get the water out and the juice wicked up but overnight drying isn't really necessary.

How often do you folks clean them? The first few I've tried start off wonderful but lose vape power after just three days. By the fifth, there is so little vapor that they're useless. This is much sooner than with non-tank LR atomizers.

I don't think I'm an unusually heavy vaper. I go through about a ml. and and a half per day.

It all depends on the juice you use, I have some that can go all week without clogging up the atty and others that make it draw bad after 1 or two days.

Rysup is right, just keep hitting the button until it glows. I find that if I blow on the coil while I am hitting the button, it glows faster. I have never blown an atty doing this and have been rotating 5 attys, two I have had for 11 months. I also have a pass-through that won't cut off automatically, so I can preform long burns on really stubborn gunk. Once it starts to glow a bit, I back off and do shorter bursts. Use vodka or ever-clear, it's not worth fooling with rubbing alcohol, since you don't want to chance vaping any, even dried residue. You don't even have to dry thoroughly with drinking type alcohol, just shake it out, blow dry and the dry burn will take care of the rest of the drying process.

BTW I am talking about an ego-t atty, but the principal should be the same.

Happy vaping
