I think I just took the air blowing technique to a whole nother level. If you are going to try this method make sure the compressed air can/duster is NON TOXIC.
I don't know what the effects of using other dusters, and neither should you. I assume non-toxic air will not have any health consequences in an atomizer since the gases contained are inert, but I'm not certain. USE AT OUR OWN RISK.
This is what I did:
1st I got a non-toxic compressed air can. I was lucky enough to find one at a local environmentally friendly store. I'm not sure of other stores but you can find them online as well.
2nd. I had an office depot mechanical pencil on hand and the straw on the duster was not a snug fit. I unscrewed the bottom portion of the pencil and tried placing the wide side of the pencil part to the battery end of the atomizer,
The size of the part was a little too big so I used a utility knife to shave it down until it fit snuggly into the indentation
3rd I took a piece of a paper towel, twisted the corner and fitted it into the other side of the atomizer.
I connected all of this to duster spout, covered the air hole on the side and VOILA my atomizer is working like new again. I blew on the atomizer a few times to make sure no gases we trapped before using.
If someone could chime if in any potential health effects exist from this method, I greatly appreciate it.
