Cleaning d-bridged 510 atty

[Harrygrowth]

Are the cleaning procedures such as highping's dry burn method still appropriate for d-bridged 510 attys?
Just curious. Certainly can see the glowing coil with no problems.

WOW. The taste is sure better and the great throat hit and warmer vape. More vapor? well maybe. I would suspect different juices provide more or less vapor. I like more VG and I still get great TH.

Who's got great prices on Egos? I think I'll pick one (battery)up just for home vaping and carry my 510 standard batteries during the day away from home since they're smaller and less conspicuos.

You should still be able to clean a de-bridged atty the same way you would with it intact. Personally, I don't bother with de-bridging.

Liberty-Flights has great prices on eGo's. I think they start at around $30 for a full kit and around $22 or so for a single battery.

I don't bother to remove the bridge. I've done it, but I feel the bridge helps with the wicking and all I do is drip. It will hold more juice without leaking with the bridge still intact.

I've tried almost every way of cleaning atties. Alcohol, coke, vinegar, dry burn, etc.... I've not been immpressed with any of these.

Best method: rinse in hot water before they get dirty to begin with. Run under the hottest tap water you can, blow it out through the top side so the water gets blown out the battery end. Rinse, blow, rinse, blow, repeat... It will keep your atty's air flow nice and smooth. You can do this every night, or as little as once a week.

Deep Cleaning- use at your own risk.
You can use hydrogen peroxide. You can also add ammonia with the peroxide for a really deep clean. Only use 10% ammonia to 90% peroxide. I have a bottle of 35% H2O2 i picked up from the health food store and a bottle of 10% ammonia from the hardware store. These items are very caustic, so be safe and maybe use gloves.

1. Rinse your atty out with water and blow it out.
2. Make sure you have a MANUAL battery. Attach atty to your battery as normal.
3. Use a dropper to place a few drops of H2O2 or H2O2/ammonia mix in your atty just like you would drip your juice.
4. Heat up the atty for a few seconds. It will begin to sizzle and bubble. The heat really activates the peroxide. Don't over do it. When is starts bubbling out of the atty, let go of the button and let is sit for a few minutes and clean itself. You can intermittently hit the button to keep the atty warm, don't over do it!
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as many times as needed.
6. Rinse, rinse, and rinse!

The atty will look brand new. The ceramic bowl and wick will be pure white. The coil will be removed of all the gunk. I have never lost an atty yet, but I'm not saying this method won't reduce your atty's lifespan. Use this method at your own risk.

i dont clean my attys (LR 510s). all i really do is blow all the juice out of them at the end of the night, and i just started using this stuff called atty flavor eraser from vape the rockies that gets rid of unwanted flavors and ive noticed if im getting a tight draw, it gets rid of it and really clears the atty out.

I'd agree this is the best way to do it !

+2 second that using 2 atty's and all i've done is blow them out seems to work great.

For others reading this, The above mentioned methods are for serious cleaning only- For those atties they were neglected and need to be revived. I've also found that leaving an atty to rest for a week or more and pulling it back out later, it works like a champ. Don't be so quick to through them out. They are pretty tough. At least the 510's I've used.
