So I've tried numerous ways to clean my atty and all fail eventually. I decided to smash one of my old attys apart to see what it was made of and found that there was a huge build up of what I believe is burnt e-juice. Now I know some of you wash your attys and then bake them and that seems to work, sometimes. I just decided to take one of my old ones that I knew was dead and place a match flame underneath it. I was assuming that it would burn all that gunk out. Then I washed it under hot water and dried it off with a paper towel. To my amazement, the thing works as good as it did, if not better than when I bought it. I can't say if the flame did any long term damage to it, because I've only been using it for a day. Has anyone else tried this?

Haven't heard of this method yet, but it does interest me. Please keep us updated to the success of your method. If you do this multiple times let us know how long before the atty dies.
You put the match at the threaded end? What type of addy? How long did you do it? Couldn't you do the same thing with a dry burn?
