Forget flying to Neptune to get their special liquid, then passing through 16 time warps with perfect timing while singing Buster Poindexter songs backwards, in Russian, to clean you atty.
I needed to get rid of a funk taste. I found a post somewhere else that had a variation of what I'm saying here. I have an SE Gold (4081 w/auto battery) and I have to believe this will work with any atty; one detail worth noting is that my tap water gets hot enough to be pretty uncomfortable--had to keep changing hands while holding it under the water.
Rinse atty under hot tap water for at least 30 secs., dry it for 5 mins with a blowdryer or 2 mins if you have a higher pressure air source, prime with 8 drops, slowly, and you are DONE!
My payoff was not just the funk taste (I'm a tough guy, and the taste/smell was nauseating... it was like old shoes with doo doo in them thrown into a fire) disappearing, but I also got a HUGE vapor boost (even though I shouldn't have needed to do this cuz the atty was only two days old--I watch the girl at the mall open the package and put the new one in--which suggests that MAYBE you would wanna try this even with your new attys) AND, just as important to me, was that I had noticed I had to suck a little harder over the past week to get the light to light up/atty to burn--now it takes NOTHING... it's better than it was brand new (3 weeks old total) with the other brand new atty and battery.
Forget all the craziness; try this first before going through all kinds of craziness!
