Cleaning Tornado atty for new juice?

[Zeth]

Did some searching and lots of reading, but haven't been able to figure this out: Is it possible to clean my TW Tornado tank atty(currently used with TW coffee) with hot water, let it dry over night, then have a decent experience with a different juice in it tomorrow? The juice would be somewhat similar, either cafe caramel or caramel tobacco.

I'm only curious because I won't be able to get fresh atomizers or cartos until later in the week, and like most new vapers, I'm incredibly impatient So this would be just a temporary solution, not something I'd normally do, just wanted to know how it would work.

It won't really hurt it much, as long as you don't have hard water. Build up is a problem with water. I soak my atties in Everclear overnight and then pour some fresh Everclear(PGA) through it twice. Then I drip drops of unflavored PG/VG mix from Ivape.net into it till they start coming out the bottom. This is the best way to get a flavor out that I have found, and it also cleans.

Just remember to only blow in the direction of air flow. Blow out as much access as you can before you soak. Most people use sonic cleaners (liquids unknown) ....I just haven't needed one as of yet...but if someone gave one to me I would use it!

You might want to also De-wick the atty. I use a tooth pick and tweezers. Lots of videos about that online. I leaned using this one. How to remove your Wick (Mod) - YouTube

The excess wick holds the flavor.

Maybe it's just me, but such a horrible waste of good liquor makes me sad.

Not to mention with the price of Everclear these days, it would probably cost roughly the same to pour that Everclear into a glass of Coke and just buy a new carto....

Thanks for pointers. I'm gonna try it out tomorrow and see what happens. Worst case scenario I wait a couple more days for my resurrectors and boges to arrive.

Easy cleaning for any atty, drip some plain VG (USP 99% pure glycerin) available
in the drugstore. Vape it off, and put your new flavor in.....the less you mess with
them, the longer they last..
