Best way to clean an atomizer?

[schusteb]

I currently direct drip and rotate attys every day ( ihave 3). I clean them nightly with a soak in coke ( poet I know), then blow out in the morning an let dry all day. I've noticed that this makes it really difficult for me to get them started the next day and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

what kind of atomizer are you using? cleaning methods differ.

Best way I have found is to do a dry burn and then if they dont work good just chuck em, there so cheap and last pretty long and theres nothing as great as a new Atty, for all the time spent on cleaning its just not worth it, just my $0.02

Read, experiment, and read some more. There is definitely no shortage of different methods that work for different people. Eventually you'll find the one that seems to work for you.

Personally, on the rare occasions that I do need to actually clean an atty, I only use this one : http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/69834-my-atty-resurrection-method.html

Regardless of what cleaning method you use, you should drip a couple of drops of e-liquid on the bridge before you use them. A moist atty is a happy atty.

I found the best way to clean my atty is not to. Every time I do I kill it!
The only thing I do is blow it out with straight pg and clean the connections. I have had them for over 8 months so its working for me.

so its definitely overkill for me to clean everyday then huh?

Yes, the best method may be to rotate those in use & let drain when not in use.

i ussually just boil my atty's and if that doesnt work just chuck em. I dont do any regular maintenance and ive had my atty's last 4-5 months. They are actual joye 510 atty's so people know lol.

"Do nothing" other than the odd blow-through if the atty gets sluggish is bang on the money. IMHO it's not great to wash, soak or bathe. It doesn't do the atomiser much good either.
