Do atomizers "dry out"?

[deathmetalmaster]

I have a sidesho. I alternate between two atomizers on a daily basis. normally, this has been working fine for a couple days now. However, recently i swtiched back to my other atty and it tasted HORRIBLE. the cart i plugged into has not been used very much and when i was using my previous atomizer i had been using for that day, it tasted fine. then when i switched back to the good tasting atty after tasting the horrible one, the good one tasted bad too!!! is it possible that the juice from the atty that had been sitting out went "stale"? It didnt really taste like the burn atty flavor. it was more of a taste that i have not yet experience while vaping. i checked to make sure there was not any foreign substance on the tip of the atomizer and it was completely clean.

is there a way that i should store my atty's when im not using them? should i just leave them plugged into a cart? let me know whats up. im very lost here.

i put a few drops of liquid on mine and seal them up in a plastic bag

LOL-Just make sure you add a couple of drops of liquid before using. After two drips-if atty has completely sucked them all in-do it again. Works for me

I had this problem with my volcano atomizers, I had used one for a while like you had done and then set it aside, came back to it and it was gross. I think the juice just went bad, I tried putting a couple drops of liquid on it and it still tasted bad. What I had to do was microwave a cup of water to a boil and dropped the atomizer in it. After a few minutes I took it back out and let it dry out overnight. Tasted like normal since then and I've stopped switching atomizers unless the one I'm using breaks. You might want to check with your manufacturer though, I'm not sure what kind of e-cig you have and if its safe to do that to your atomizer.
