im going through atomizers too fast on a mini.

[llamainmypocket]

I'm thinning it may be one a week using the Eroll. I don't want to waste 25$ month on them but at the moment that's what I'm looking at.It's a ego-c atomizer...

I can clean the coil no problem but it's the wick. Either I don't get the gunk off it and it tastes foul or I do and it stops wicking to the atomizer properly. I'm currently soaking in vodka and rubbing it with a q-tip until it's white.

If I'm lucky I can get cleaned once but currently I'll be spending a little more than half of what I spend on liquid on just that part.

You can rewick those atties pretty easy. See eroll subforum. My atties last weeks before they start going south, but I do use a prettly light tobacco flavored juice. If you use some fruity or sweet flavors, it may gunk up faster.

Get some wick and pull out the wick in the spike and put a new one in. Its fairly simple and ive gotten months from one atomizer using stainless steel mesh.

You may also want to try another juice. I have one juice that really messes up my atomizers but have no trouble using atomizers for weeks with other juices.

You can clean the wick by rinsing as much gunk out of it as possible. Then hold the wick in some long tweezers and torch it. The gunk will turn red and burn off. When the wick cools it will be clean and white again.

Some juices, particularly naturally extracted tobaccos (NETs) have solid particles in them that gunk up attys and wicks really fast. If you prefer "dirty" juices frequent atty and wick cleaning is just the tradeoff for vaping what you enjoy.
