Mooby,
I have an atty that get plenty hot but doesn't seem to produce much vapor. I didn't have anything to lose so I tried the burn off from your video. Seems better but I will put it through a few more cycles and see what happens. A big improvement. Thanks.
How long do your attys last? Say for a 510.

Keep the videos coming. As a noob I really appreciate them.

Extended dry vaping (several seconds) a gunked up atty can convert the gunk to carbon. The carbon can be flushed out with distilled H2O; you can see the black carbon particles in the flushed out H2O. The coil may reach temps over 1500F during true dry vape which may lead to embrittlement of the metal coil and reduce coil lifespan. I reserve dry vaping for last resort because I am not sure if I can replace atty in the future.
I like distilled H2O and pure grain alcohol (PGA) flushing; I would do the Vodka flush you mentioned, but the thing is, I don't have any Vodka
Good thing about PGA or Vodka is the atty dries quickly.
I do use hydrogen peroxide from time to time followed by distilled H2O flush.
I don't understand the purpose of the Coke flush but I know it is popular. I don't want to give extra micro organisms any chance of getting in my lungs. Seems germs don't like PGA (alcohol) and hydrogen peroxide so I'll stick with those.
The one thing I would add is to use a tooth pick to clean atty between the positive and negative groove on the batt side of atty. Sometimes gunk gets in this groove and fouls out the atty, much like oil fouls a spark plug.

Wish I had an edobit.Why shouldn't you inhale the vapor when you're cleaning, isn't it just left over juice?
Also would isopropyl alcohol work fine?
Finally can you vape drinking alcohol, could I drop some everclear onto the cartridge and smoke it? I've seen kids inhale vodka using dry ice, sort of the same concept I think

Isopropyl alcohol is poison.
I vape with 50% Everclear 190 proof PGA and 50% VG sometimes.

I am so out of touch with the young ones, lol. I've never heard of this.
With this maintenance routine I have not had an atty die on me yet. I might just be lucky.
The liquid i already drained out. You are burning off residue and I just don't think it would be safe to inhale concentrated, caked on residue.
Makes sense to me, probably wouldn't be so kind on my lungs.
Thankfully I always have Everclear on hand cause I like taking a straight shot or two when I'm feeling like getting tipsy
Thing is I'm from MN and we only have the 151 so I have to drive across the river to get the 190 proof, but it's only a 10 minute drive.Makes sense to me, probably wouldn't be so kind on my lungs.

Or maybe it will clean your lungs
Maybe it will sterilize atty?
Who knows???
I haven't noticed any short term effects from vaping 50% 190 proof PGA, 50% PG recipe.
great video mooby, i was recently in the process of trying to clean my blu by running it under water then drying it, i messed it up haha, then i got to reading reviews on here about how pitiful the blu was and i got rid of mine, im hoping to get myself a five-ten soon, but anyways great video
If you didn't see the "Firebird wings", I doubt you helped it much. In a dry burn, there is no vape to blow out of the tube before you look into it. To quickly get to "firebird wings" state, softly blow into the atty as it burns,like you would a coke bottle to make it howl but you don't need to make this "howl", you want the smoke to blow out the top of the atty near your lips, becareful, the smoke is hot, blow until there is no more smoke coming out when you blow into it. Use a manual pass thru for the batt power. When you can see the "firebird wings" (the coils glowing red), it's clean....
holy crap i am too scared to dry burn,
Edit: because of your video, and not just someone saying it works. just threw my one and only dead rn 4075 atty on a manual passthrough and did a couple 5 second burn off sessions(figured i had nothing to lose)..... wow things working like a champ again, killing off a little lifespan to bring it back= worth it i guess. I must say though when it died, it would only get warm and produce no vapor, thinking the manual passthrough just makes it easier + possibly more energy.
Thanks for giving me the courage yet again.

Wow moody you go way more out there cleaning them out. I just burn them out, and then add more E-Liquid flushing it out.
Seems to work really well for me.

I have a 510 One of the batteries stopped working in it the next day the other battery stopped working . The fact that they still charge and the l.e.d's. light up makes me think its the atty . I tried blowing it clean. Not much came out. So, I'm trying the coke idea. Hopefully its not a defective atty. I might want to order a couple of extras lol. Thanks Moob. I hope something works. I'm back to analogs and I cant stand the way it smells and tastes . Ive only had my 510 a week. I didn't think it would get dirty that quick. But hey. If I happen to leave it in the coke longer then an hour will it hurt it? say while I slept ?
Yeah this works great i also use some coca cola and then i boil my 510 atomizer for 60 seconds take it out and then blow it all the water out and then dry it out. Re-prime it and it is like brand new again it works every time
it works every timeGreat vid. mooby. This is what I do everyday. One thing I do is use compressed air to get rid of excess liquid. A few shots in unthreaded end and also in threaded end. Be very careful on threaded end as not to use too much pressure or you could blow out inards of atty and break those all too thin wires.
