Giantomizer Maintenance Tips anyone?

[mrmack00]

This beast should here in a day or two and I wanted to ask if any of you kind folks can provide tips for maintenance and cleaning? Everybody vapes differently, but are there any visual clues?

Thanks!

They're sort of like a CE2 only bigger... also, very difficult to pull apart. For cleaning if you're the dry burn type, take off the inner silicone gaskets and gently pull the wicks out of the tube (careful not to break or detach them) and then dry burn as usual. Other methods like using an ultrasonic cleaner, pretty much the same as anything else.

I've never used a CE2 and don't know how to take them apart. I also don't know exactly the best process to dry-burn, though I've been told it's firing the atomizer while it's empty or something, right?

Let me check those out because I just got my Giantomizer and although I haven't dedicated any real time to it, I just briefly tried at work to remove that ring and wow....this thing kicked my ....!! I didn't even get it to budge.....

Ok, got the seal out and that should be easy; however, getting it back in, aligned properly seems impossible.

It's no that bad... I wrote a blog entry with some tips on doing it. Ignore the actual bulk of the post, it's full of tips for tweaking the original V1 giantomizer which had... issues. Basically you can make a mark on the gasket to show you how to orient it, then use something to push it down in there.

Sweet, got it! How do you remove the guts to clean it, when the time comes? Somebody mentioned a center punch, but I'm not seeing how that would work.

 

[StotheK]

To be honest, for simple cleaning, I'd just fish the wicks out with tweezers and then clean (be very careful, wicks break easily). Disassembly on these are a bear to say the least.

 

[mrmack00]

If I pull them out with a tweezer, aren't they attached somewhere near the atomizer? How do I reattach them?

 

[StotheK]

Don't detach them!

leave them attached and just rinse and pat with a paper towel. Dry burn if you want. Some people actually use a butane torch to burn off the crud, but that might be overkill. Detaching the wicks would be bad

You really don't need to take the Giantomizer apart to clean it properly. Just pull the filler ring, rinse it out well and do a few short dry burns. Once you have some ash built up on the wick at the coil brush it off gently and fill 'er up.

I pre-treat the coil with a little distilled white vinegar for a day or so before I rinse it. It speeds up the dry burn process.

 

[mrmack00]

So just slide a dentak brush down in there, and gently brush? Then dry burn?

 

[BanjoMan]

Nope. Rinse and dry burn *first*.

I use the end of a pointed tweezer to gently scrape off the ash buildup, then tap it on the table a few times to knock the ash out.
