Does Atomiser need cleaning?

[Boomer]

Hey guys, i have only started vaping recently and on my first atomisers, i have been using one all the time and though it was fine, i did not notice it deteriorate as it must have done it gradually, it was not until i put a new one on today to try a new a different flavour that i noticed just how easy the vapour was to suck out, it seems to flow so well and almost tasted fresher, i can now see by looking at the atomiser it's a lot more silver and shiny than the older one.

Do you think it's time for me to have a go at cleaning it or just keep vaping until it does not work anymore?

I have heard quite a few methods on here so i don't need instructions on cleaning but what do you think is the easiest one that works well is, also does cleaning them take time off there lifespan or increase it? Do you find that you can get an atomiser performing like new or are they never that good again?

I think the atomiser needs cleaning but i dont want to break it as i only have 3 in total 1 well used, 1 only just used and 1 never used, maybe i should order some more spares just in case as there seems to be no way of telling how well each atomiser will last.

Cheers Lee.

Did you also use a new, fresh cartridge when you switched atomizers? I notice the same thing, easier pull and taste better, but only with a fresh cartridge. I tend to use the same cartridge a little longer than I should without pulling the stuffing out and washing it. When I do that it's a lot easier to draw on and taste better too. I've been doing this for 3 months and never cleaned an atomizer. They all work fine still.

I've not attempted cleaning my atomizer yet either. I only have one and my first kit it quit working in about 5 hours, so I took it back and they gave me a new kit. njoy is what Im using and they don't sell extra atomizers which stinks. But I should get my new vapor1000 in the mail by tomorrow or next day. Can't wait!

Houdini, I have a silly question, what do you mean by taking the stuffing out and washing it? Thanks

Pull the white polyester core out with a tweezer, wash it under hot water, let it dry, and put it back in the black cartridge, and fill---Sun

I only use cartdridges at work, i only drip at home as i find it so much better, hit and vapor. I am just using a mouthpiece with no inner cart at the minute and the new atomiser is 10 times better than the normal one i use It's awesome in fact, i think it is because the performance dropped off so gradual i did not notice until i used this one

I have not even had a go with the new atomiser and a cart yet but if its a lot better without a cart im sure it would be with one too

Im impressed with it and was just wondering if it is possible to make the older one as good again or can you never get them back to how they were?

I've only ever cleaned two atomizers and they never worked again. Needless to say, I won't be doing that again. My mental mindset is that they are disposable and when they die, they die. This makes for a happier low stress life for me

my experience YMMV:

Blow out your atomizer every night and let it drain upside down, and change your carts (and/or wash the stuffing) frequently.

Dripping shortens atomizer life.

I blow battery end and drain mouthpiece down on a napkin daily then I soak in coke for 30 min weekly and clean with cold water. Dont forget to reprime them as it takes several minutes for them to start producing vapor again.

J W --You are not seeing the issue--the issue is to save the atomizers IF WE CAN NO LONGER GET THEM--I also would not care about a cheap part as well if they not under the gun of a Ban!!! That is why so much time, energy and money is being spent. It is why people here are raking their brains to figure out if in fact their is a SAFE, easy, and effective way to keep them going longer----------Sun

Sun is absolutely right ....without atomizers our vaping days will be over......those are the only part we cannot mod for ourselves ..so far.

Hi Boomer, I gave my new atomizer a coke bath after like 4 days.. Now, I know I shouldn't have but, I could not Stand that primer taste a min longer lol.. Its still working great.. Just know to dry over night, Your atomizer will be dry so put a few drips of juice on it...Also note that it will take a lil bit of puffing and huffing to get it going again
