I don't and everything's been fine. Still using the same atty I started with 3 weeks ago, never even blew it out.

My personal opinion is some of this stuff works to lengthen the life span of the parts but by how much and if it's worth to someone is anyones guess and up to the individual.
To me blowing it out every night, soaking it, taking apart, putting back together in the morning, would get old fast. I'll just use the attys till they clog or die then when I have enough collected I may try to revive them at that point.

I would say putting a cap on it and topping it off in the mornings is plenty good enough.

I really don't have a clue....but I don't do that. In fact, I have one all ready for my first vape of the morning waiting for me on the nightstand. But....turns out I don't actually reach for it first thing. I usually go make coffee first then have my first vape with my morning coffee. I think having it right next to the bed is more of a "security blanket" than anything.

I leave mine in a glass in the kitchen, beside the coffee pot, that's my first thought in the morning. Yah, before a vape! It's amazing.
I don't break mine down either, but I do store it battery side up, just to keep the juice where it belongs. I use a Janty Stick, it's hard to clean excess juice out of the inside. I don't want it down in the electronics, even though it's sealed it can get wet.

I don't disassemble mine either. I am only on my 2nd atomizer too. My first lasted me just about 2 months. I blew it out cleaned it and did a short dry burn. It was shortly after that it stopped producing much vapor and started tasting funny. I drip a couple drops in the atty and top of my cart first thing in the morning and that is it. I bet this atty will last me longer than the first. I have heard that a wet atty is a happy atty.

I don't break mine down, but I'm new and now thanks to you, I gotta stay up another hour and obsess over whether or not I should! ;)

yOU DON'T have to break it down, I have a joye ego and i go to bed with it and vape while watching podcasts on my zen mp3 player,
I wake up search the bed for it, and vape while i go to the bathroom, who came up with that crazy ... idea?

lol.
2 months of vaping still same atty's...lol....don't bother...just vape that ....!

I take out the cart and cap it, then blow out the atty and put it back on the battery at night. I've lost 1 atty in 3 weeks but it was because I "dry burned" it waaay to hardcore. Once the two atty's I am using drop in performance I swap them out with different ones and clean them using highping's method and vodka. I get probably a week out of the two before they require a cleaning, but it depends on the juice I put through them.

After going through too much equipment with the learning curve, I do remove and blow out the atty I'm using every night before bed, store them threads up in a shot glass on my desk. Why not I figure. Dried juice kills attys and it's easier then cleaning them over and over.

This is more important when vaping dark juices i've been told by one wiser then I.

I think it's best to let it drain it overnight.
If you don't want to do that then second best thing is to blow it out periodically.

I blow mine out every morning.
I would rather let it drain overnight but I never know when I'm done using it.
:)

And if you don't want to do either of those things then you don't really have to.
Your atomizer might eventually start getting clogged a little more quickly though.

Within less than 15 minutes of making this post yesterday...my atty died! :D


Gah, Murphy's law is rampant! I rotate between 4 attys, and each get cleaned once a week. I dont drain them before bed, but do disassemble at night. Sometimes they get a good blow.
To clean, I nuke some water in the microwave....not boiling hot...but pretty hot. Then drop the atty in (one at a time, and I only clean 3). I let the water cool before removing. Blow them out, and store them on a little felt pad (what was a carrying case insert).
Good Luck!
