How to clean clean cartos and atty's?

[tchp12]

1.First off, boil yourself up some water in your kettle and pour into a bowl or small rock glass.
2. Step two, pull off the cap and pull out the silicone "o" ring inside your cart. if there is still juice in your cart extract it with a syringe. find yourself a non hypo syringe, the type to administer oral medicine. or you could just remove the hypo from your existing syringe and attach the "o" ring to the end like so.
3.Third, plug in the "o" ring into your carto or atty and draw in boiling water, then plunge back out. repeat this step for however long you desire always changing to fresh water before finishing. blow out any excess water from the threaded end and put them out onto paper towels until you believe they are dry enough for use.

Hope it will help.

I just throw my atty into the boiling water and let it sit for bout 30 sec then take it out and cool it off then repeat a few times. Then dry it. It works good.

I think (from what I've read) most people do it this way...although some take apart, boil, rinse, boil, rinse, blow out, and sit to dry overnight. It's probably the easiest process I would assume.

Thats basically what i do xcept i only have 1 atty so i have to just dry mine out really good then put juice back in it.

Or you can clean cartos the following way much quicker, without using boiling water (that shrinks and degrades the filler inside and shortens the life of the cartos):

I see that was for cartomizers. Would that work for just atty's too? I also saw some people using those steam cleaner thing that shoot out pressurized steam but that looks a little to invasive for me. Also soak and let dry and then dry burn with alcohol i heard work too. Im not sure which to use i have only used the boiling way.

I think it would work for atomizers, too, but I haven't tried it, since I don't use atomizers. The atty should fit into the cone hole, so water could be plunged back and forth through the atty.

However, the method I've seen recommended the most for cleaning attys is to soak them in rubbing alcohol (91% preferably) for a certain amount of time. If I used attys, I would use the alcohol soak method to clean them (which is what I did over a month ago, when I used a cheap Volcano atty for about 3 days).

I clean my atty's a couple of different ways. Sometimes I soak them in Isopropyl Alcohol for 5 or 10 minutes, sometime I just run hot tap water through them and it flows out in a steady stream. I'll air dry them on the fan of my computer overnight. If I can't wait for them to air dry, I'll attach them to the batt and do a dry burn. I don't do this often because you can pop an atty if you aren't careful.
