How to clean dse601 e-pipe???

[jozbaldwin]

Hello everyone, I've been using a dse601 pipe for the last two weeks but since friday it's not working properly anymore.

I have to draw really hard, the atomizer seems to be clogged or something and I get very little vapor.

I tried blowing it from the battery end and keeping it upside down for all the weekend to drain it, but nothing changed, what else can I do to try and fix it?

I thought of boiling it and then clean it with isopropyl alcohol but I wanted to get your opinion first.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Hi Joz. Nobody has answered your question This will bump your post so if anyone knows anything about this they can help.

I remember a few months ago Leaford discussing epipe cleaning with someone. I can't remember where the conversation was but you could do a tag search for epipe and see what you get.

From what I can remember they were saying that there is a way to connect the battery to make it run and burn off the atomiser - like the self cleaning cycle on some ecigs. It might be that you put something metal between the battery and the edge of the bowl of the pipe ... sorry I don't really know.

Hi Joz - If you look at the screw that holds the battery arm in place you'll see a little square metal block right next to it. You need to connect the screw and this block with something made of metal - a tip of a teaspoon will do it - and hold it for around 30 seconds or so. Make sure you don't have a cart in when you do this or you'll get a burning taste.

I've found that if you take the cart out and stand the pipe, atomiser down, on some tissue paper when not in use it prolongs the life a bit.

Thanks everyone, I was just about to start experimenting with it, the replies appeared just in time to stop me.

Well, I'll give it a try and post the results later today.

Well, I had two, the first one is dead, there was nothing I could do to get it to work properly again.

The second one is almost dead also, a friend suggested to let summerged in coke for a week and see if that cleans it it (coke has become famous for cleaning staff like rusty screws).

I have to test this, but I don't see much hope, I would suggest you get the lady pipe since in that model you can just replace the atomizer when it dies.

thanks jozbaldwin

i do have the minipipe...works great.

i was just looking for something that is a heavy vapor hitter and the DSE601 looks like it is....sadly if it is not reliable i guess i will not purchase it.

i do have 2 ruyan e-cigars and they works great...just gotta keep drawing for a little bit to heat up the atomizer...once she is hot...works great
