Fried eroll atomizer

[Clayton993]

I fried 2 atomizers this week by letting the tanks get to empty on accident. They taste horrible now and I don't have any spares(coming in the mail) . What can I do to remove this horrible burnt taste?

Easiest, but not guaranteed: soak them in vodka for at least an hour, then rinse them in scalding hot water for five minutes straight or more. Blow dry, and prime immediately with a couple drops of juice.

Harder: pry the spike off the top and remove and gently wash the wick, and dry burn the atomizer. There are several threads in this sub forum on how to do both, along with other tips. There are also a number of vids on YouTube. Just search it for cleaning e-go C atomizer.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I ended up rewicking one of them with a wick from an old vivi nova I had. It seems to work ok, but I don't like how the new wick is so fluffy and tons of fiber was coming off it while I was working with it. Hopefully I don't inhale a ton of that crap.

dry burning/vodka is the only thing that'll get rid of the taste effectively for me. But sometimes if the wick has also been burnt (which can be done if you let it run dry, as ive discovered from opening up one of my old atties) then it seems to not carry the liquid down to the coil as effectively as it should, which will result in you inhaling the sort of smell you get when you dry burn. In this case you can either try clipping the burnt ends or strands with nail scissors, or re-wick it if you have the resources like you have!
