How to Clean a 306 Atty With Diet Coke in 30 seconds or less

[rook2pawn]

1. Put atty in a cup.
2. Pour Diet Coke in cup just enough to cover atty (a little bit really!) (Coke shouldn't be flat)
3. Swirl vigorously over a sink. Some soda will spill out.
4. Swirl for 15 seconds.
5. Rinse under water.
6. Blow out the water in atty


The reason I don't leave an atty in Vinegar or Vodka overnight is that I've noticed that any longer than a few hours means the liquid starts to interact with the atty coils. Yes, its "Cleaning it" but its also damaging the coils over time.

Most of the performance issues with an atty should be able to be removed through a vigorous swirl in fizzy soda water. Any longer and you start to mess with the atty IMO.

I've used this method to vape on a LR 1.5ohm 306 for 4months straight. I clean it about once a day.

is this only for 306 attys?

 

[chingbo]

is there a reason why you suggest diet coke?

or can it be any type of soda / carbonated water?

The reason i suggest Diet Coke is that its sugar free and that mainly i absolutely dont want to wash my e-coils in watered sugar, even though i rinse it out. The main thing is that its carbonated and its fairly acidic compared to water.

I suggest this over the overnight vodka thing because i found it tends to strip the coils a little too hard and shortens the life of the atty IMO. Also it ruins the protective coating on the outside of the 306, which i understand is cosmetic, but implies that its messing with the metal on a chemical level, i.e. actually interactiing with it.

Diet Coke works wonders on corroded automobile battery post as well

Seriously though, makes sense that it would. I'll have to give it a go in my ultrasonic cleaner instead of hot water.
