Yep, the good old dry burn that some people just don't know about. I personally think dry burning is the best way to clean them.
I know that it is quicker when you blow them out before hand. It's just something that I don't do when I dry burn my atties.
As soon as throat hit diminishes I blow it out and dry burn. Works like a champ.
Ok, so I can't watch these videos to well, even with DSL so please tell me how you dry burn, I feel dumb asking but I'd rather ask then screw it up. I always just blow mine out and that's it.
Ditto, works for me. I wont wash unless trying to get rid of menthol.
You leave it on with no liquid in it. Blow into the atomizer while you watch for the atty to glow red inside. When you see red. Turn it on for a few seconds, then turn it off letting it cool for a few seconds. Repeat until the vapor drops off, and almost stops coming out of the atty.
Then flood the atty, and puff that off for a little bit. Then drop in some more liquid, and enjoy a clean atomizer.
You can pop atomizers doing this. It separates the good atomizers from the bad ones for sure.
I've done a couple dry burns in my pockets. I tend to get different results tho.

Hopefully not front pants pocket...
The thing I liked about the video, is that you mentioned more than once that you can pop an atty with this method.
I have read that the LRs are failing at a rate of anywhere from 3 to 7 days. I find this rate to be excessive. Although I can't explain it as I stated in the VF thread. Mine is still going strong, after 1.5 weeks and is still vaping like a champ. The only thing I do different, is that I don't drip with it, no need to with the HP mod.
The atty was obviously flodded when you started your video. I never get that much juice out of one of mine. This is a common occurence amongst drippers.
Vapour production was probably reduced for several reasons:
That is the cost of dripping IMHO. This is what I have extrpolated from all my reading. Most people who have high failure rates are drippers. No offense intented. I drip myself and I occasionally flood an atty,
I hear of folks, burning cart filling, getting cart filling stuck to their attys etc... They also report an almost vaping marathon of 30-45 minutes of constant vaping. Not surprising! Keep your engine redlined and see how long it is going to last.
Great video. It demonstarted how to do a dry burn on an atty perfectly. The aforementione dinfo was filler that was IMHO missing.
I would however recommend to folks that have not used this technique (dry burn) before, not to attempt it on a LR atty. Until they have becomke confident with this cleaning method.
Furhtermore, a little weekly maintenace goes a long way. I am just a neophyte who is still on his first sets of attys, with the exception of frying one because of a stuck switch. But what do I know

Vapour production was probably reduced for several reasons:
- the atty was flodded;
- having previously operated under similar conditions, the coil was caked. It got caked from a continued use in a near flodded condition (which is a draw back of dripping). Dripping causes tons of vapour and tons of flavour. Many vapers seek that constain juicy thick vaper. When vapour production decreases, they add a couple more drops etc... this cicrlce leads to premature atty failure IMHO. This is especially pre-dominant with high sugared, high flavoured or VG juices;

I've only had two atomizers fail. 1 turned on in my pocket. 1 turned on in my friends pocket when I loaned him an ecig for a weekend. Both didn't pop. Just became unbearable to vape.
I have 3 that I've used since the end of December and all I've ever done is soak them in PGA.
Anyhow, the reason I haven't tried the dry burn, aside from the risk of popping them, is that those two that turned on in the pocket are so horrible.

They may not be dead. Do you still have them? Someone used an allen wrench (inserted in the center hole (batt end) and pried up the atty seat, and it worked like a champ. Unfortunately no go for mine.
However, I had one that was hard to suck on and did it, and it now vapes like a champ. I decided I hated it anyways (LS2) so I gave it a whirl. Insert the small end of the allen wrench in the hole, with the atty standing up on the counter and gently tap for 1/32 of travel.

Yeah. I have one that just now the air hole started closing up and made the draw pretty hard. The ones I was talking about just taste horribly burnt and I can't soak it out with pga.

Try soaking them in polident over night. If it don't work, toss the suckers, you're only going to hate 'em anyway
Well you can over dry burn them. You have to really really cook them for that to happen tho.
DaMulta....whats the ohms rating on your "low resistance" atomizers? and where do you get them?!
cause iv been hunting everywhere for some. the first kit i had (joye510 kit in december) had 1 atomizer of the 2 that was low resistance and worked like a champ. iv since used 8 different ones and they all suck. i even ordered some of the bauway clones and while they work a little better, they still heat up too slow for me and im not tasting any flavors past the first few drags. and because of their heating issue, dry burns arent very effective.

Mmmmmmmm, apples and oranges here. the two that came in the kit should have been the same. having said that attys even with the same resistance (measured) don't always perform the same. It's the luck of the draw. I have an LS2 at 3.7 Ohms that vapes like a champ on a stock 510 battery.
Low resistance attys are rated at 1.5 Ohms
Stock 510 attys 2 - 2.5 Ohms
Clones 3 - 3.5 Ohms
LR attys are available only at Nhaler.
I really clean my atties just the same way. What i don't get is, DaMulta: why don't you blow the excess juice b4 dry burning? You can't dry burn until the atty is mostly dry. I have never seen an atty drip that much juice !
Dry burn: yes...but blow out most of the juice 1st.
Dry burn: yes...but blow out most of the juice 1st.
all the atomizers iv gotten here in the past 2 weeks (8 total) have all been higher than 3.6 ohms, and only 3 of the 5 were clones, rest were stock from joytech. and of the joytech ones, one is reading 6.3 ohms, and another is reading 5.6, 2 are in the 4.x range, one is 3.5. im just tired of spending money on something that im hoping will work and having it turn out to be crap lol.
Gotten where?
Because I can assure you the attys I buy all fall at 2.2 - 2.3.
Which one is the clone? door 1 or door 2?
