I keep reading about how everyones attys keep dying on them. either they reduce in vapor production or the pop and are dead completely. I recently ordered 6 more attys just to be sure I had some backups ( I did the initial test run on all six to be sure I didn't get duds ) but I have only ever really used the two attys that came with my starter kit.
Now maybe I'm just lucky in this but as I see all these different techniques to clean attys I keep thinking, hmm why don't I have to do all that?
So I do this once a day or every other day and everytime I change to a different flavor.
I take a paper towel and roll up a corner so it will fit into the atty. I do NOT turn the towel once its in there, as I don't want to damage the bridge. Then I put my mouth over the battery end and blow like hell, being sure I am blowing through the little holes on the side as well.
I do this a few times until the towel comes out clean and then I add a couple of drops of whatever im about to vape to the bridge. I take one test vape directly off the attys ( no cartridge ) then if all is good, I replace the cartridge and continue to vape. This has even removed Atomic Cinnacide flavor.
Also, there is a black build up on the threads. I put my finger nail in there with a paper towel between my nail and the threads and just turn the atty while my fingernail follows the thread. The battery will also get the build up and I use the tips of tweezers instead of my finger nail for that one.
Now I know sooner or later my attys will pop on me. But other than that I have had no issues with them. Like I said, maybe Ive been lucky but I really think that this simple easy daily maintenance has contributed to their life. And the whole process takes only a few minutes.
75 days and counting on my first two attys.
