cleaning an e-cigar atomizer

[asidrave]

has anyone cleaned their e-cigar atomizer?

since it has the auto battery sensor built in how would you go about it. one of my e-cigars the draw is getting harder...maybe getting gunked up.

i tried blowing hard from the battery end. i tried letting it drain overnight. same issue.

I had read, here somewhere, think it was in the PureSmoker section of the Supplier's Forum about running hot water through it. I was on my 2nd one because my 1st one went Supernova in my pocket, so I tried running hot water through it and it worked better than it originally did. I hooked a bent paper clip to my small fan and hooked the e-cigar to the paper clip and blew it dry over night before using.

I used super hot tap water, prolly around 5 minutes total. I fill it and let it drain. And, fill it again. I think I did it from both sides. But, check for the other thread at PS.

I fill it with hot tap water from the battery end, and blow it through (lung power) about a dozen times.

I drop mine in a bottle of 91% rubbing alcohol and let it soak an hour, shaking gently from time to time. Then, I drain it, hold it to a vacume hose and suck the alcohol remaining from the atomizer end.

I dry it out with an hair dryer set on low, blowing into the battery end.
30 min or so does the trick.

Alcohol evaperates easily and leaves nothing behind to hinder the electronics. I do this once every two weeks and I have been using the same device for four months. ( Very heavy vaping).

I would Never use water.
