Geez. I can't really vote on this one. I boiled my cartomizers and I didn't notice any appreciable difference whatsoever.
Seems like way to much work! Blow out regularly, Rinse with water once in a while, Dry burn when vapor production drops.
I used the steam arm on my espresso machine to get out a strong flovor I couldn't loose, atty still works flavor gone
+1 From time to time when I'm switching flavors I'll also rinse and blow them out with some PG.
dont do it all the time...
sometimes it helps to let it sit in vinegar overnight then rise extensively.
Also...some are sticklers about the distilled water...used both....never noticed a difference.

I do alcohol soaks. I'll use an atty for a day or two and drop it in for a soak. I'll have several in rotation at any given time. When I drop one in for a soak, I'll have one or more attys that have already been soaking for at least a day or are drying/dried out from a prior soak. It's like having a new atty every time.
I try to boil weekly...and I like to let all of the water boil out of the pan and almost catch the stove on fire (apparently).
Needless to say I watch a whole lot closer now...

I used to boil attys as part of a bi-weekly, thorough-cleaning routine, and it never seemed to cause any problems.
Then I decided that I had better things to do than to waste time getting all OCD about the cleanliness of my atomizers. Now, I'll use one for a week, blow it out, rinse it, and drop it into an alcohol bath for a ½ hour. Then it sits on the shelf for a week drying out and waiting to come back around in my atomizer rotation.
Hmm, OK... It may sound like I'm still all OCD about it, (and perhaps I am ), but the time I spend cleaning them this way is a fraction of what it was before.

I rinse , dry burn and go right back to vapeing.
Never any ill effects from it yet.........

you know you're a n00b...when you opened up this thread to find out why people wanted to boil their attorneys.....
hah, why not? attorneys and politicians both could do with a good boil to loosen up all the crud ;-)
On topic: No, I don't boil my attys. I tried that when I first started vaping and actually found it to shorten the life of the attys. I just flush them through with plain PG for cleaning nowadays, sometimes a quick hot water flush first if they're really gunked up, and that has worked well enough for me. I usually get more than my money's worth out of them without resorting to boiling and dry burns
