I boiled my atomizers last night 8-o8-o

will let you guys know the outcome today. I did about 7-8 all at 1 time (a couple of my 901's, a couple of my pens, and my super mini) and after about 10 minutes of sitting in the boiling water, there was a nice brownish tone to the water! I'm hoping for success! Vinegar and water works, this is just easier and quicker, and you can see results from the get go :)

Thanks shawn for the suggestion ...

That sounds like one delicious soup, just add like Kit mentioned salt and Pepper. :thumb:

Haha ... Maybe a little bit of chicken broth and noodles ... Heaven right there ... :D

The weird part is, my atomizers weren't even needing a cleaning. I just had a few extra minutes on my hands last night, and figured what the hell ...

I got more 1 that one cleaning, then all my water/vinegar solutions put together! lol :)

Maybe you have chef tendencies that are dying to get out !

(OH i have a spare few minutes "I know" i will boil me atomizers)
 
I think i Mentioned somewhere else.
A suggestion would be to use Lemon extract instead of Vinegar.
Vinegar is a little harsher on items. The lemon has the Citric Acid in it, and will loosen any oil gunk, not to mention a better smell through out the house :D
Its used in many "Green" cleaning products. Just about any Citrus would work, if you prefer Lime you can use it to make a margarita after. lol

Speaking about Lime and Margarita, I wonder if there is a "Margarita" e-juice out there, or rum or whiskey flavor?
 
Cool....but,.....details man, give us some details!

Did you keep them over heat and actually boil them the entire time?
Or did you just put them in boiling water and let them set while the water cooled?

How did the paint wear?....Did you do any Kissbox atomizers...they have a plastic/Mylar like paint, that will come off like skin, if you leave them soak in pure vinegar overnight.

Burns ... Shawn is the guy I who told me about boiling ... I didn't quite use the steps he did, but what I did was very similar.

My Steps:
1. Borrow small pot from the Wifey's kitchen
2. Fill with about 1 - 1.5" of tap water.
3. Boil
4. Once boiling, drop in atomizers
5. Every 5 minutes, stir around like you were stirring soup.
6. After 15-20 minutes, use TONGS to take out of the boiling water.
7. Shut off stove so it doesn't burn the house down.
8. Still using the tongs, because the little beasts are hott, blows from the battery side through the atomizer several times.
9. Grab a piece of paper towel, and lay flat on the counter
10. Turn the atomizers upside down, with the battery end towards the sky.
11. Let dry overnight.
12. In the morning, drip 2-3 drops directly on the atomizer, and put in a new cartridges.
13. Within 15-20 puffs, you should start seeing vapor again. Remember to take these draws nice and slow.

The End :D
