One can overdo any 'bath' by keeping the atomizers in too long where either the wicking/threads in a 510 gets too soaked and out of place or one doesn't dry things out thoroughly enough. And you need to 'reprime' after cleaning by dropping 2 or 3 drops on the atty without flooding it. It also might take some huffing - as if you're trying to keep fire on a pipe or cigar to kick start the atty after cleaning.
One other thing - you just mention 'alcohol,' but imo, there's only a few good alcohols for cleaning - 190 proof everclear or 151 clear, unflavored, uncolored, preferably charcoal filtered Vodka - Galen's is good. And I only soak for 10 minutes unless that doesn't work and then 1/2 hour tops, blowing out three ways - from cart end, from batt end and from cart end covering the batt hole in order to get the intakes. (the last not possible on all styles of attys). And then let dry and reprime with ejuice before starting up. Rubbing and isopropal alcohol are toxic and can leave film.
