The best way is with Crest Pro Health mouth wash with no alcohol just place them in there and swish them around for 15 minutes then rinse with hot water and let soak overnight in water and dry real good and let them dry after blowing them out the next day. If looking to use them right away just blow through them from the atty side and get most of the previous liquid out of it and go to the next
A cleaning then proper drying. Some use hair dryer to speed it up I read. But for cleaning then immediately putting it to use on another flavor it probably wont be fully dry and ready.
Get spare atomizers so you can rotate flavors and have some drying after a cleaning while others are in use.

What I do for a quick clean out is to pour some 100proof vodka into the atty a couple of times, shake it up and blow it out. Then I take a papertowel, push a bit of it into the atty and blow through the battery end a few times.
That usually gets it dry enough to use again immediately. The alcohol evaporates quicker than water for me and doesn't leave deposits (I don't know how clean your tap water is, but ours is questionable).
The atty usually takes a bit of priming to get going again, but then vapes pretty clean for a new flavor.
Hope that helps.

I will admit this is a curious question that has so many answers that its confusing. I've been nervous to try any of these being there are so many opinions. The one that worries me the most is that I've read in many places to do nothing but burn it off. So to be safe, that's what I've done, along with draining it. Sometimes at night, I'll stand it on end on a paper towel. Or if its tasting odd, I'll connect it to a manual battery and turn it on until the safety kicks off. I do that a few times, then prime it by dripping 3 or 4 drops of juice in it, obviously not from the battery side. This seems to do the trick for me. I'm still learning. Plus I will admit a couple of times, I've ran it under warm water, then prop it on a paper towel to dry for a couple hours, if I was changing flavors. Even this makes me nervous though since I've read not to submerge them. The one thing I know I'll stay away from though is compressed air, that seems to be a BIG no no.
I like to keep 3-4 attys working. I use similar flavors in each one and just let them transition on their own.
If I get something really skanky I blow it out and let it drain.
Then the Crest for 15/30 minutes, blow it out.
Drop it in vodka for a minute or two to displace the Crest, blow it out.
Re prime and go for it.
If it's not real bad I skip the Crest.

Blow out your atomizer every night and turn it upside down to drain overnight on a paper towel. That is basically all you really should need to do.
There are many ways to clean an atty, just as there are usually many ways to clean other things. Some people recommend what works for them, and some even claim they have the only solution to the problem. The later usually being … well … not necessarily correct.
Me, I do it with plain hot water. But seriously, try using the seach function, that is what it is there for.

I just soak mine in everclear for about an hour, give the container it's in a good shake and rinse out.
It depends what sort of flavor you have in there before the cleaning.
Some fruit flavors are really hard to get rid off.
If you are substituting one tobacco flavor with another...you may not want to soak your atomizer in cleaning liquids (mouthwash, acohol, etc).
Simply drip 10 drops of the new liquid in the atomizer, then blow it out on a paper towel.
The old flavor should have gone by now.
However, if the initial flavor was some really strong flavor (amaretto, anice) are the two strongest i can think of...you need to soak your atomizer in cleaning liquids for a few hours.
Then rise with warm water ad blow them out.
You can use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process or let air dry.

By the way
my best liquid mixes have originated from flavor transitions from one flavor to the other.
For example, one day i was vaping a minty lime liquid.
I started to use a ginger liquid in the same cart.
I found that the mix of ginger and lime and mint...is amazing.
So now i actually make my liquids accordingly.
You would also be surprised at how many different flavors you can make starting off with a few tobacco flavors and mixing in fruit.
For example, Camel + banana (40% camel 60% banana)
I'm currently vaping a turkish blend tobacco with cofee and a hint of pumpkin.
So not cleaning your atty out ...may lead to new flavor creations that you would have never imagined.
It's when you see English people eating pork sausages together with orange marmalade for breakfast, that you can clearly witness an advanced case of flavor transition.

I rarely clean my atomizer to switch to a new flavor.
Just blow it out real good and you should get most of the old flavor out.
But yeah, some flavors do have a tendency to want to stick around more than others.
As far as cleaning it, that seems like a lot of work just to switch flavors.
But if it works for you then by all means go for it.
If you want to dry it really fast, put it in the oven for 20 minutes at 150 degrees.
And the suggestion of using vodka or everclear is also a good one, dries much faster.
