Getting the nasty burnt taste out of an atomizer

[Penn]

This thread got me curious. From the early days of my vaping I had a cartomizer that, when incorrectly cleaning, I pulled the filler material out of. Two thing occurred when deciding I wanted to see if it could be usable.

1. As is, it can be used as a dripper. I just put a few drops in and it was good to go for a few puffs.

2. I realized I could probably take some cotton yarn and fill in the area where the filler was and refill.

If I am wrong, someone with more experience chime in.

Easy way I've used to clean them is drip 6-7 big drops of 100% pure VG (glycerin) in (flood it) and fire
it up to heat the VG thoroughly, a few 5 second button pushes. Kinda like a "wet burn" instead of
dry burning, then blow it out, "rinse and repeat", then drip normally and vape away.

Easy way to clean it without overheating the atty, where you could scorch the insulator inside it.

I've found this helps to break in an atty too.
