How to clean attys

[blackwater]

I've run hot water through them and then 100 proof vodka. Any hints from the pros would be great. Also where to get the least expensive but good quality attys?

Thanks,

Chris

I suggest looking at the Suppliers Forum here E Cigarette Suppliers Forum

You didn't say what type of atty you were looking for, so its hard to pick a vendor, and different vendors will have sales on various attys. LitecigUSA is having a 10% off everything sale right now, and their prices are good and service excellent.

I clean my Joye 510 attys (only ones I have) by putting them in a small mug, covering with hot water, and adding a polydent overnight denture cleaning tablet. Let sit with occasional swirling for about 12 hours, then flush them with hot water thoroughly, shake excess water off and let them air dry for a day (or dry them in a 250 deg oven for 30 min). Dry burn 5 second bursts until coil glows brightly within a second or two, check resistance (old ones will gradually increase resistance, dead ones will show random or zero ohms on a meter).

I cleaned with vodka in the beginning too, but I found they tended to die faster. Might have been chance, but I've had far better results with the polydent. Many others here do this as well. Best method I have found.

I flush the atty out with hot water. Then I soak it in a Shot Glass full of White Vinegar for about an hour.

Then rinse in hot water, shake on blow excess water out, dry on top of a fan.

Don't forget to Prime your now clean atty with 2 or 3 drops before using.
