Cleaning clearomisers. The ones that don't come apart.

[NeilSwift]

Just cleaned out my first clearomiser and wanted to share the results.

After reading good advise from ECF members I followed their instructions but with a tweak.

I knew mine was on it's last legs as MaccyD's thick shakes were easier to suck.

Only difference I applied was using hot water not warm. Just rinse it filling up the tank several times with hot water and empty it then I left it to soak in hot water for an hour. Amazed how much crud comes out. Left it on a radiator for an hour upside down. Filled it with juice and left it for the wick to soak up. Did notice a few drops came out of the battery end initially but that has now stopped. Good as nearly new.

Cheers for the help ECFers.

Win win.

What's the longest time one has lasted for you?

Mine is six weeks give or take.

If these are the Stardust types, there are threads and Youtube videos detailing how to disassemble them for cleaning and rebuilding. And yes, I'm talking about the ones without replaceable heads.

How to clean and dry burn a clearomizer

I was thinking of this video. You can disassemble the entire unit for cleaning, dry-burning and re-wicking quite easily.
