[jnnfrlsw]

Recently picked up some phoenix BC cartos and after 2 refills its not vaping very well.
Is it possible to clean the Phoenix bottomcoil cartos? If so, whats the best way to do so?

I can't post a vid for you, but basically :
1.) Take a small pick or paperclip and pull out the top seal. Set it aside.
2.) Screw the carto into a device, and rock the tube gently forward and side to side, until you are able to slide it off. Set it aside.
3.) Gently pull the stainless steel air tube up, and off the base. set it aside. You should see the coil and wicking now.
4.) Rinse with hot water (dry burns can be done carefully as well at this point.)
5.) If you want bonus points, take a set of nail clippers and trim the wicks even with the outside of the cup. This is entirely optional, but it has improved feeding for me. (I vape mine at 5v....)
6.) Reassemble, reversing your steps. Refill upside down, and vape.

I've cleaned em a bunch of times doing this:
1. Pull tube off
2. Soak the Atty base in Everclear for 15 min
3. Shake out excess, and dry burn till you see the whole coil glow red. Do this in several short bursts, untill the entire coil glows for a split second. I would do this only on a low voltage batt, like an ego.
4. Take a toothpick or a dental tool if you have one, and very gently scrape the coil, and the carbon build up in the cup
5. Rinse out the crud with Everclear
6. Dry burn again, gently, to burn off alcohol
7. Your wick should be nice and white
8. Prime with juice, assemble, fill, and vape like its new..

I have been doing this on several Phoenix's that are 3 weeks old now. Trick is not to let them get in too bad of shape before maintenance.
