A few months ago I was on my way to meet a buddy up for drinks. Happily vaping nearly the entire time there, I would set my 510 on my lap in between puffs. After parking the car I did some shifting to grab my license from the glove box, forgetting my 510 was in resting position in my lap, and it rolled in between my seat and middle console. I didn't realize it was gone until I was ready for some much needed drunk vaping. D@MN!! Had to go buy analogs to get me through the night (BLECH!!).
Moving on, I found the 510 while cleaning my car a couple months ago. I was too happy to add the parts back into my mix, only to find the batt wouldn't hold a charge. I blew out the atty and cleaned the threads pretty well, but it was still like sucking a grape through a coffee stirrer.
Vapor production was nil, flavor gone, throat hit nonexistent. My perfect record with atomizers was tarnished. So I threw it to the side and haven't touched it...until today.
So what brought back the beast? No soda/vinegar/water baths. No running water. I've never used these methods, and have never had issues. I usually blow them out daily and clean the threads once or twice weekly. Instead, I took a tip I heard from this forum some time ago, I can't remember who posted it, unfortunately, but you know who you are so THANKS!!
I primed it with a couple drops, did a few puffs to try and burn away what build up I could, then blew it out with the thunder! I used the tip of a safety pin, pushing it (VERY LIGHTLY) through the top hole until I hit major resistance, and cleaned the side holes with it as well. I again did a couple drops, burned a bit away, and blew it out even more. It now vapes like champ! Great vapor production, the flavor is better than the atty I've been using since I lost it, and the throat hit made me cough on first puff. My perfect record is BACK!
