Cleaning atomizers

[Biomom]

OK. I *thought* I was a pro at cleaning atomizers; had a method that worked well for the regular mini brands. I'm having a devil of a time getting my Sidesho MV ones cleaned, tried flushing with alcohol, hot water for over 5 minutes, and even burn off method afterwards but only using the stock MV battery and not getting it to glow or anything.

I vape sweet and medium colored juices, so I'm sure my vapor reduction after a week MUST be clogged atty. Before I invest in a sonic cleaner and a manual battery for super burning, any other ideas for the *MV* atty?

I've now ordered an SS atty too, is it a self-cleaner by chance?

with all the lights out and my finger over the LED, i can see a little glow inside my SS. juuuuuuuuuust a little.

 

[eciglopedia]

can this method possibly work for cleaning the cartomizers too by chance?
i hope this won't appear to be too far off topic...

Just realized I have one of my first attys is finally on its way out...gave it a thorough cleaning, and it just doesnt produce as much light (or vapor) as my other attys. It still works, just poorly. Safe to say, it was probably the one that saw the most duty, next to my SS.

Not bad for an original 902v2 atty I bought in January! one of the first two with my initial 902 kit. It probably has been cleaned badly until I learned how to properly do it. Oh well, first one into the "unused" pile. 1 down out of five. (I was starting to think these things lasted forever!)


...then I pulled out one of my spares...holy clouds, batman!

Damn, I love 902s

** Update: **
HOT DAYUM! Took a chance, gave that nearly dead atty a good thorough alcohol soak followed with a blow-out (dried the outside, put the cart end in my mouth and power-flushed alcohol out the battery end). Saw more residue come out than just soaking alone.

Primed it, first hit: Vapor is back, just like new!

This might seem dumb, but how do you prime a 902? I'm confused.

Not a dumb question at all. Priming an atty is when you drip directly on the bridge(microphone looking thingy). This is usually done when using a cart(poly fill containers you put your juice in) to prepare the atty to absorb juice from the cart to the bridge.
