I've had the same thing happen to me a few times and doing this has fixed it:
1) Get some Pure Grain Alcohol (Everclear) or Vodka and fill a spare juice bottle with it.
2) Drip it into the battery end of the atomizer and blow it out. Repeat 3-4 times.
3) Do a dry burn until there's no more smoke. This can take a long time but just keep at it.
4) Repeat step 2 a few times.
5) Fill a tank and vape away.
I've taken to doing this every few days or when I change flavors.
If you're dealing with a particularly thick or dark liquid and the draw starts to get tight (or you can see that it looks more like a syrup in the tank than a juice), add a few drops of Everclear directly to the tank. It will get things wicking nicely again and helps to prevent that burnt taste.

I had mine 2 weeks and decided to clean it out. I followed the directions on the normal eGo attys and washed it out then did a dry burn. It fried the atty and now it doesn't work at all. $14 down the crapper.
I just thought I'd share. If anyone has a "kit" with instructions, I'd love to hear what they say. As far as I know, I didn't abuse it in any way, just a couple dry burn cycles with cooling in between as directed in my normal eGo kit. I bought the Tank atty and tanks afterwards.
