Hello everybody. I've been vaping for just over a month now and it's great. Almost kicked my analog cigarette habit completely. I never get cravings for them, but sometimes....I'll just smoke one. I was smoking about 10-15 a day before I got my "Tornado". Anyways, to my surprise the first atomizer from my kit (the one I still use today) has been lasting longer than I would have expected it to, and I hardly do anything to maintain it.
To get to the point, it's performance began to decrease just barely so I decided I was going to do something to "clean" it. And by the performance decreasing I just mean that it was getting a little harder to pull and was sounding a bit flooded. I read a lot of suggestions on how to clean attys but I really don't want to soak it in anything crazy or even get it wet at all so what I did was:
-I took off the cartridge and the cone off of the atomizer, and with the atomizer still screwed on to the battery, I simply sealed the open cartridge-end of the atty with a rubber pre-filled cartridge cap that came with the pre-filled carts from my kit. The cap fits very snug onto the atty, you may even have to work it on there a bit. But if you're using the same caps I am, then I guarantee you the cap won't come off when you move on to the next and final step. Oh and, make sure you don't push the cap all the way down. About half way down or "on" should be perfect.
(This "technique" so to speak is not going to be something you want to do very often, and definitely not daily...or when you're around people
.)
So finally I just held the battery very firmly (DON'T let go) and sort of swung or "whipped" my arm with a lot of force and very quickly in a way to make the nasty juice from all those 50 different flavors flow out into the cap. Now you're going to have to swing that thing good, and not just a couple times either. I kind of kept "throwing" my arm down towards the ground as if I was Jackson Pollock holding a paint brush (the battery/atty) and trying to make streaks of paintsplash onto the ground (if that makes any sense).The end result is you got a cap half full of nasty juice, pop the cap off and clean it or do whatever with it, drip a drop or two on the atty, and vape.
Yeah this method doesn't clean all those "particulates" and stuff you all trip over but it'll un-flood your atty without any solvents, water, twisted paper towel, q-tips, or overnight upsidedown stuff.
I hope you at least understand the method I am trying to describe and that I haven't completely lost some of you. And I hope it helps SOMEONE... otherwise, what a waste of time Still, it was fun.
