How to clean an Inferno Atty?

I just rinse at the sink with warm/hot water, blowing through it a few times to make sure the air holes are clean and unobstructed( cover hole in center of pin to force water out air holes above threads) then flick it a few times to get out as much water as possible, followed by a dry burn.
To dry burn put the lr Inferno atty on your Inferno( which is a good battery to dry burn with because of it's low voltage output ) and just give it power for about 5 seconds then leave rest for about 5 seconds. Do this over and over again until the moisture and crud on the coil stop producing vapor and smoke, at which point the atty is clean and almost as good as new. It's hard to see the coil with the bridge over it but it'll glow somewhat brightly when it's clean. Also the 5 second on off thing is a pretty safe number actually, I usually just power the atty till I reach the cutoff, but that's up to you. The way I see it is if it's the atty's time to die, so be it. Hope this helps.
Drip tips I clean pretty much the same way ( running under hot water) except I'll scrub it off with my fingers or a rag. I guess you could use PGA if you were really concerned about getting it as sterile as possible. For me personally I keep any kind of soap away from my vaping gear.

Thanks. Very useful information. I literally couldn't find anything about this specific addy anywhere, let alone a method without alcohol. But I read everywhere that if you don't let an addy dry for a few days, it pops. I only have one. Is that going to happen?
I don't understand ( cover hole in center of pin to force water out air holes above threads)
What is the pin where is it limited

Any atty can die at any time, they are consumable items and not all attys are created equally. It's wise to always have a few spares. The method I described is not necessarily specifically for Inferno attys, It's the same method I use for all attys. The Inferno atty is a LR atty( low resistance) so for longevitys sake when dry burning it's best to keep the burns to a minimum to keep from overheating and damaging the coil, also it's better to use lower voltage like the Infero battery provides ( about 3.3v). I know there are quite a few ways to clean attys,but for me the speed of this simple method ( 5 minutes) trumps the others and I have not had much of a problem with my attys lasting anywhere from about 3 weeks to 3 months.
If you look at the bottom end of the atty ( battery end ) there will be what looks like a round metal disk with a hole in it.That is the pin I was refering to, it is the positive battery conection.( the threads are the negative battery conection) Blow through the atty and put your finger over the hole in the pin, you'll notice air keeps coming out of the 2 little holes located above the threads, this clears them of any debris. Those holes are where we get air from when we are vaping, the center pin hole is actually blocked by the battery( unless it's an automatic battery).
Edit: I hope I'm not misunderstanding, you do mean the " Inferno" atty and not the Tankomizer, correct?
