Clean your atty with a water-pick?

[skinny]

Has anyone thought of, or has used a water-pick to clean your 510, etc. atty?
I just tried it, and seems to work well
Any thoughts or comments

FYI, I'm talking about the water-picks you use to clean teeth, has low to high settings

I think I will have to try that, never thought of it...

I thought about this for cleaning cartomizers...but havent used it yet. You may have inspired me to try it soon.

I think its a good idea.

I think this is just something that very few people would have.

tried it, it deffinatly cleaned the atty. did a few dry burns with it to dry it out, and i just dripped a few times with it, and it has a kind of bitter taste. i dont know whats causeing it, all it was that i cleaned it with was water.

It should work really well. It is the same principle as what I use except I have a cappuccino maker and use the steam nozzle. Just be careful since the bridge in the atty can not take to much pressure. 8-o

Well, I've used this a few times now on 2 attys and so far so good I let it dry or lightly blow it out with air. Then put 3-4 juice drops in atty and let set a few minutes, then vap. Sometimes it needs a couple of primes to get taste going, but after that it's back to like it was new...any more feed back from some of you that have tried this?
Please

I've tried a number of things since starting my vaping back in May of last year. Steam cleaners, Ultrasonic cleaner baths, Diet Coke baths, etc... all with some positive results. I have a few water-picks around that I used for small parts cleaning and I'll work them into my maintenance rotation next major cleaning day.

(Btw.. I'm on a D1 kick at the moment, (Adapters on 510 mega batts using the Dogsbody refilling method.) but I have a wealth of 510 attis to try and give your cleaning method a go.)

What speed did you use? Can anyone suggest how often you should do this?

I use it at med pressure, and wash it every few days...seems to be working great and is super fast to do--try it--you'll it!

I first read this thread a few days ago and decided to give it a try on a 510 atty. It worked great for me. Set it on about med and then let it dry. It was like a brand new atty. I was amazed at the reults. Just be careful not to turn it up to high or you could damage the bridge I imagine. I am going to try it on one of my 302 attys next when one needs it. Thanks for the tip!!

I've been using this method since I started this tread, and it seems to work like a champ. I've had no problems or failures due to using the water-pic--I would like to hear from others that have been using it--you getting same results, or had bad ones?
Thanks

I am a dental hygienist so naturally I have a water pic! lol Tried it but really didn't make any difference from holding carto with tweezer's and running hot water thru it.

Dedi,
I guess that could be true, but it seems that sometimes little black chucks will wash out with the pick, where as nothing comes out while just running water through.
Since you're a dental hygienist and from what you just said, it makes me think there is no reason to use my pick on my teeth--I can now just drink some water an flush out my mouth. Thanks you just made my life easier!
