How often does everyone do this? I've read people do it once a week or more, all the way up to every 6 months? Does it perform better once you do clean it?

I don't do it until preformance is so bad I dread using the atty.
At night blow the residue from the day out or leave the atty with the connector end up so liquid can drip out during the night.
Clean the connector on the atty and the battery or other power source.
When it is necessary to clean use Crest Mouthwash. Soak, move it around now and then. Rinse a couple of times. Let soak for a while in clean water. Blow out, let dry.
When this doesn't work, try Pepsi. I only do pepsi as a last resort because my attys usually don't work all that well after, or they don't work that much longer.

I run it under hot tap water about every other night. I do a soak in lemon juice about once a week. Always better after a cleaning. It clears the air ways and dissolves most of the old juice. E-juice is water soluble. And there's always little drops the dry up overnight and crystallize.

P.S. Peek performance and flavor. It's easier to keep it clean then try to fix a problem down the road.
If you use lemon does it taste like lemon after and for how long. Since I use VG, I might actually like it.
Front row
Popcorn is a good idea since this might turn into a long one.
The best way I've found to clean. Surprised it hasn't caught on yet.
Sonicbath
Works extremely well...just add distilled water. No other cleaner necessary.

My cleaning method is buying batches of 365 atomizers at a time ..... Works great since Im good for a year replacing the atty every day.
I jest.
Im slowing doing less cleaning and found im getting more consistant results. Curious as to how lemon juice works and what its solving. Stiff draw is my main enemy.

No lemon taste. But I do always rinse it out and do an additonal 30 minute hot water soak just to dilute out any liquid (regardless of what I'm using) before letting it dry.
Actually, after the rinse is has a very strong metalic odor. After the 30 minute water bath it's all gone.
I have Lorann Lemon Flavoring for a lemon taste.

P.S. When you soak it it cola do you taste cola afterward?
I thought this thread was about cleaning your E CIG not your atty....
Not really much else to clean - but the post seemed to imply that it was about cleaning the atty.
I use Polident tablets when the draw gets hard or I want to clean out an old flavor. Polident is designed to clean, freshen and remove build-up like plaque. Works better than anything else I've tried so far.
I use effordent tablets, works just as well....but you have to rinse well before you let it dry, otherwise you might get a little build up...
I clean my e-cig every few days, just wipe it down well to get all the juice and use q-tips in the atty threads. Water works fine to get any just that may have dried and acetone on a q-tip with make the atty threads shine.
The atty itself, I don't clean nearly as much, just a quick swish in warm tap water, blow it out for a minute or so, and reprime it and I'm good to go until it starts tasting burnt again.

2-3 times a week... Depending on your vaping habbits. I just put a tea cup in the microwave to about 1.3 min.. Need a handy tweezer which u can hold the atty. Just dip the dip till it reach the coil. That's all you need to do let it rest there as long as you can hold on,shake it out a bit,blow and dip again. Most times i notice black little burn stuff comes out so it's doing it's job of cleaning. After let it sit dry for a few hours.. Do a harsh dry burn till i see the coil turn gray..(Meaning you build up stuff turned ash) Then once again i dip it in hot water and am done let it dry.
Some people would actually drop the entire atty in the water but i won't..But why let the part you connect to a battery get wet? Reason some people tend to kill there attys.

awe man, my first clean, i just put the atty under hot running water, blew it out, put a bowl of water in the microwave for 3 minutes, put the atty in it for 10 minutes, then blew it out again, saw some straggler poly hairs still stuck to the atty after rigorously blowing, then took some tweezers to it, and bam, i accidentally nabbed the wick and now a small piece of the white wick is hanging off of the little coil thingy, not fully seperated off the wick, just hanging on and off to the side of the coil... will it be ok, e-doctors?

Just ordered my first e-cig, a Joye 510 kit on the advice of a co-worker, and am really looking forward to not analog smoking @ work (don't smoke at home for some reason - but I dip Cope occasionally).
Anyways, the wife picked up that exact model cleaner a couple years ago and it works very well on all her jewelry and my watches w/about one drop of dishwashing liquid. Will use it on the new e-cig w/just water and see how it does!
