Cleaning eGo atty's?

[Yellowman1972]

I tried the Boils and extended Steams. Blowing them out nightly has sufficed and really does extend the life of my attys just as long. Thanks for all the great suggestions though guys!!

Yup. I followed the technique exactly as described in the thread on this forum.

And they've had the burnt taste since you got them? That's odd. Maybe the wick material is inserted wrong. Have you tried removing the wicks on any of them? I find that helps a lot with the burnt taste. I just got a bunch of fruity flavors from FSUSA, and I really wanted to avoid that burnt taste, so I removed the wicks and I have yet to have any strong burnt taste at all.

Take a look to the following method:

Talks about atty resurrection but I use it to clean my Tornado (=eGo) atty once a week or once every two weeks. It works great if done with care.

pedromj,

That's the post/technique I already used. Made no diff.

I have no desire to mess with the wicks, and in fact, I've already examined them pretty closely. They don't appear to be any different from the other attys I have which taste fine.

This works for me too.

Yes... let them dry over night in an airflow, or fast dry them with a hair dryer.

Isopropyl Alcohol or PGA are useful. They may remove the paint from knockoff atties.

You guys might also be interested in cleaning your cartridges if you are using them. I consider it equally important:

Are your sure you removed any rubber built around the coil?

Sometimes the wick is tricky with flavors. Before leaving, you can remove the wick, so the atty is unable to hold residual liquid. I do not recommend removing the wick if you are using carts, only if you are dripping with it.
