Clearomizer cleaning help?

[PowerofParanoia]

I haven't been on the forums in a long time and I had been using the same ego + carto combo for the past year, but finally decided to change it up a bit and start playing around with stuff like the clearomizers.

Only problem is, I can't find any information on how to clean it that doesn't involve dry burning. I'm very much inclined to avoid that at all costs because I have rarely heard good things about dry burning.

Is it ok to use ispropyl to clean a clearomizer like you would a normal atty?

Is it possible to clean the atomizer heating filament without pulling the clearomizer apart?

Any and all help would be grand.

Thanks everyone.

you could put it in alcohol and let it dry overnight. depending on the clero you use, you can take just the silicon top hat.

add some more info, like what clearo is it? when you do dry burn its simple, easy, and can drastically increase the lifespan of the product.

i personally cant recall to many bad experiences other then posts where people didnt do it correctly.

and you can simple rinse it out and let it dry I dont recommend it myself but yea the alcohol will work if its rinsed out and dried properly.

We have a water bubbler at work, i just put them in a cup with the hot water until it cools down, dry em out as best i can and reuse.

I've had good luck using polident tablets on coils... I'm sure it would work with clearo's too. I toss the heads into a cup with a tablet, heat up some water to just about boiling in the microwave, and pour it over the lot. Let it fizz and then leave them to soak for a bit until the water cools down, rinse, and do a dry burn if you are so inclined.

I've yet to get a clearo coil totally cleaned without dry burning!!!

Let us know which ones you're using and I, or someone else, will talk ya though the process.

Why wouldn't you recommend water? Just asking.

Really does depend on what clearo your using. I am stuck on the T3's and I rinse with hot water and give it a vinegar bath for a few hours, another rinse in hot water and set it out in the sun. I personally don't like dry burning.

Howdy!

I use t2's and t3's and clean them both with just plain old hot tap water from my bathroom faucet then leave them on a paper towel overnight to dry. Idk if it's the best way but it's worked for me since day 1...

Hey, sorry guys. I've been out running errands all evening.

This is the clearo I got. Vision Stardust 2.0 Rebuildable eGo Clearomizer

I just worry I'll ruin the heating filament if I dry burn. It scares me, especially because I don't have much money to replace it.

Thanks Unforseen. I really had no idea where to put this topic.

Sorry about that.

You asked if you can clean it without taking it apart. Yes, you can rinse it, but ideally if you take it apart you can get in there, take the rubber cap off and hold it under a nice stream of hot tap water for a min or so to let it rinse clean. Be sure to turn it upside down and let it run through from the battery end as well. I use needle nose pliers to hold it. Then just set it outside to dry in the sun. In our sun it doesn't take long at all

They are really easy to recoil as well!

My last dry burn resulted in killing the head, so I'm not so sure dry burning is a great idea. Just my two cents.

I hear ya with the 'In our sun it doesn't take long at all '. When I 1st started vaping (way back in August) I kept reading people saying 'drink more water' and all I could think was 'I'm in Arizona and drink 4-6 gallons of water a day on top of the coffee, iced tea and soda that I drink. How much more can I drink?'. hehe.
