Will soaking my atty in hydrogen peroxide help clean it?
After 2 weeks of use, I am starting to get some weak vapor.

I have been vaping since last June and have never once soaked an atty. All I ever do is blow them out and let them drain.
In fact - it depends on the medium you tried to use to clean the atty - if that's alcohol then drying ot completely is not so crucial.If you do insist on soaking, just remember to make sure that the atty is totally dry before you start using it.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO BLOW OUT AN ATTY! IT IS POISON!
Couldn't agree more.

As for compressed air - is it really a poison? How come?
Well... you're right - but only if you use canned air. By the way, difluoroethane is not that toxic, but that's another story.Compressed air contains difluoroethane which is highly toxic.

Do I need a manual battery to dry burn?Depending on what flavors you are vaping, blowing it out, or giving it a quick rinse and blowing it dry are great methods of cleaning.
If the vapor production starts dropping, or if you absolutely can't get a flavor out, or it starts tasting real crappy, the easiest method is a dry burn.
1. Rinse under hot tap water
2. Blow through the batter end and/or the mouth end
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until you you feel like it's good and clean
4. Let it become ABSOLUTELY bone dry - this is important
5. Pop it on a battery
6. Let it burn in 5 second blasts followed by brief cool down periods - you should hear little to no sizzle
7. Carefully repeat step 6 until you see the coil of the atty burn red for 2 seconds - If you're not careful here, you can wreck the atty
8. Let the atty completely cool
9. Repeat 1 - 3 again to get it good and clean
10. Let dry and vape away!
This method will burn off any junk still stuck in the atomizer. It's risky, because you could potentially destroy an atty, but it's the best way to really get it clean. I've done this numerous times, but never blown one yet.
Tips for drying
- A hair dryer on cool works GREAT! Set it in front of the dryer so that the dryer blows in the mouth end. Leave the dryer on cool for a couple mins and come back to a bone-dry atty!
-Blow in it - this is a more time consuming (slightly) method than the blow dryer, but just as easy. Just lightly blow through both ends for a few minutes and it should get pretty dry
-If you pop it on the battery and it sounds like it's vaping, it's not dry enough to dry burn it
I have a feeling that my atty might be something other than a Joye, some kind of cheap atty I bought locally.
What are some good and RELIABLE sites to order from?
You can do it with an automatic battery, but you have to blow throught the battery end and watch in the mirror to see what is happening with the atomizer coil.Do I need a manual battery to dry burn?
