Black specks between battery and atty

[redbucket]

Using an eGo-T.

What are the black specks that accumulate between my battery and atomizer?

I get a little juicy black "gunk" between my atty and tank, and assume that's the "gunk" people refer to as clogging up their atties -- coloring, flavoring, mixed with thick pg/vg leftovers. Are the black specks the same thing, passing all the way through the atty to the battery connection?

I'm almost at 70 posts but still have a lot of stupid newbie questions, got to get this one in quick!

I don't know but I see black junk on my charger connection and was wondering about that???

ALWAYS clean your batt connections before putting on charger...no matter how careful you are, juice and condensate can get on those connections and cause problems.............

Cooked juice residue, especially if you are using juices with flavoring sediment (typically dark, cloudy or opaque juices).

Always wipe the end of the battery before putting it on the charger or in a PCC. And I recommend manual batteries which are harder to damage or kill with juice leaks and make it easier to get a good hit. Some manuals are totally sealed on the threaded end and totally safe from being hurt by jucie leaks.

Thanks, that's what I assumed -- and have been cleaning before connecting.
