Drying atomizers

[Calaban]

I just washed 3 atomizers.

What's the quickest way to dry them out? I read somewhere about putting them in the oven but I don't know what temp.

I don't have a hair dryer...

I don't have hair. .....*sigh*

Calaban--I put mine in the oven cartridge side down on 150 Degrees for about 15 minutes--have never had any issues and the atomizer dries out good ---Sun

Alright I'll give it a shot...thanks!

Ok the oven trick worked...I think.

The atomizer is not producing much vapor. And I'm getting lots of liquid in my mouth...as if the atomizer isn't firing as hot as it should be.

I have cleaned atomizers before without this problem. This time I did a pepsi bath for a few hours and then an alcohol bath, then a 5 minute boil. Just trying some new stuff.

I don't think anything went wrong during the drying phase. I doubt it damaged them. Maybe they just didn't get dry enough. My oven only goes down to 170 so I left them in for 10 minutes rather than 15...it's possible they are still damp.

I will keep trying...maybe they will vape better after a few more pulls.

Calaban--keep working at it as it appears that atomizer may just fire and have life left----Sun

I have been analizing the atomizer headache so cleaneing the oil is not the the solution the real problem is that the resistor become carbonized and it dosent produce enogh heat to create vapor on the same hand you dont get the warm of the vapor on you throat so if we work in how to remove the carbon on the heater we are done (by the way i am talking about the rn 4081 thas the only one i know until now)

can you tell us something we don't know.....lol...

Calaban, this may not help you tonight, but I cleaned two of mine with simple boiling a few weeks ago. I let them dry overnight, and the next day they had hardly any life in them at all, considerably worse than before I cleaned them. Instead of chucking them out, I left them on my atomiser-drying-shelf for awhile.

Then I read somewhere that a cleaned atomiser may need a bit of work to come back to life so I gave one a couple drips and puffed it pretty good for a minute or two--and it sprang back to life.

 

[Calaban]

The one that I have tried after cleaning has now come back to life. Tastes better than before and is producing vapor again. I think it just wasn't dry enough after cleaning.

I have 2 others that I cleaned that are sitting on my shelf. I am sure they are dry by now and I am expecting them to work just fine when I try them.

Thanks for all your help!

I agree, I always think my atoms are fried after washing, and after they really really dry, a few days in humid Hawaii, they work like new.

I take off the cartridge and smoke the atomizer near dry before I do anything else.

Very important to reprime the atomizer after cleaning.
Just a friendly reminder.
