Cleaning things

[SHoeSTRINg]

Ok, I know this is probably posted somewhere on this site, but I'm not in the mood for scouring. But I've had my setup for over a month now and still haven't cleaned clearomizers. And recently I've noticed that I haven't been getting as smooth of a drag, and it's also been producing less vapor. What's the easiest/fastest way without buying anything? If you could just post here how to do it or link to another thread that tells me I'd appreciate it. I have dual coil clearomizers that go with eGo-T batteries if that makes any difference.

Thanks

there are tons of ways to clean them, easiest, wipe off the connection with a paper towel.... i drip, and i just blow the atty out every day or more.... plus if you have vodka or everclear, you can soak your clearo in that, I think

 

[SHoeSTRINg]

I meant cleaning the inside of the clearomizer, where the juice goes. The flavor of the last juice will stay throughout the next flavor I put in. I heard about rinsing and dry burning. Does that work good?

 

[Tiffany Smeggin Peak]

rinsing with hot water, yup, dry burning can be dangerous, might ruin it, so I have never personally done that...
oh and if you rinse with water, might make the juice weak/watery or you have to let it dry completely....
this is why some people just throw them away when they aren't preforming as well

 

[SHoeSTRINg]

ALright, I'll try that for now then. I'd rather not buy another one

Is it a rebuildable clearo? The type that can be taken apart?

 

[SHoeSTRINg]

Not to my knowledge. But, I'm sure if I tried I could take it apart. No guarantee I'd get it back together though...

 

[klynnn]

In that case just try to rinse best you can and next time get the type that comes apart. They are so much easier to use and dry burn.

There are videos on utube that showed me how to clean my clearomizers. It is fairly easy. You just use warm water and let them dry. They said you can use a blow drier to dry them faster. I just let mine set over night. I have been cleaning mine about every two or three days. I am still new at all of this but I am learning a few things here and there.

Soak them overnight in Everclear. Then blow them out and let them air-dry for a few days.

If that doesn't get them tasting clean, you can boil them. PBusardo did a good YouTube video on that method:

I rinsed and dry burned one of my clearos and currently too lazy to go to my car to get some fluid to refill it. And in case you guys wanted to know the dry burn vapor tastes like fireworks. It's ok though, I yelled "FOR SCIENCE" prior to inhaling it. All is right in the world. If this didn't work well enough I'll try soaking it in vodka.

i have dual coil carts for my tanks. after 3 days or so they still work but lose flavor. at that point i put them in a pile. when i have enough - 12 or so, i put them in a cup and fill it with vodka. a day later i empty the cup - now a dark brown and refill the cup. another day later i put them in a ultrasonic cleaner for around three minutes. then, i have a piece of cardboard with holes in it and place the carts in the holes and hang it above a fan. few hours and they're dry enough to use. vodka evaporates much quicker than water. i should also mention the ultrasonic cleaner is sold as a jewelry cleaner at places like walmart for around $25.00. oh yeah, i also put vodka in the ultrasonic cleaner. after the carts have dried for a week or so they work almost like new. this might sound labor intensive but each step only takes a minute or so.

After using a cheap coffee Juice, my e-go T atomizer got so clogged I couldn't get much vapor or throat hit off it any longer.
I put the atomizer in 151 proof vodka (any drinking alcohol will do) overnight, then blew it out from the battery side until no more gunk came out.

Then I rinsed it with hot water and let it dry for a day. After priming it with some E-Liquid and taking some drags, it is now pulling vapor. The vapor quality isn't nearly as good as a new atomizer. I can say this helped, and seems to be getting better.

However, the right move seems to be getting an E-Go C, with replaceable heads. Rather than try to clean these back to the normal state, the idea is you can just replace the heads and go on vaping with glee. My E-Go C atomizer will arrive Monday and I'll post back with how well it works.

Apparently, darker liquids clog atomizers quicker.

Good info about different methods

I tried the previously clogged atomizer after the alcohol soak and dry. It still doesn't perform up to par. My new E-Go T atomizer produces significantly more vapor and has a much easier draw than the clogged one.

I do like darker flavors and I don't want to be buying atomizers each time I want a dark vape.

This is why I use cheap cartos. When they start to taste off(4-8 days or so) I load a new one and toss the old.

I picked up a CE-5 today and I was blown away with the difference in vape quality between my E Go T atomizer and the CE-5.

Screw trying to clean the E Go atomizer. The CE-5 is easily cleanable and has cheap replaceable heads. So high quality vaping with no cleaning hoops to jump through.

The only issue with it I can see is durability. It's glass, so it may break if you carry it in a pocket.

Apparently, the E Go C is all metal, and has replacement heads. I'm gonna grab one of those for pocket carry and see what I think.
