I got some BAD juice on my atomizer. Can I soak it in 91 percent Isopropal Alchol over night to get rid of the taste? Then just let it dry out and use it?
Thanks in Advance

I would never use isopropyl, it leaves a residue (I think it rinses off but I don't take that chance).
Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper... soda is very good for removing nasty taste, the best thing I've found. Just soak for about an hour or longer, then rinse, dry, prime well and vape. Not sure why it works so good, but it does.
I learned long ago not to use isopropyl to clean electronics, methanol or ethanol are fine and rinse clean.
I use pepsi max. It's the phosphoric acid that makes sodapop work so good for cleaning them.
Vodka is good and often used - Everclear is better it's 99% pure alcohol - 10 minutes in boiling water then upside down to dry overnight is what I usually do - And be aware that the Coke - Pepsi - or alcohol may take the paint off of your atty if it is not a good quality paint job - My Janty atomizers are fine with it - But - on some cheaper ones I got from China the paint came right off - Not too big a deal cause they are shiny steel under that - But - be aware -
After trying several things I'm back to just soaking in Cola, rinse, blow out, dry, re-prime and good to go.
I have been using it to clean my atomizers since first starting out. My attys sre 510 and 4075 Njoys. By giving them a bath every 10 days, I've never had a atomizer die on me.

Weird to see such varied experiences. When it comes to something like cleaning, I'd think something bad for one would be bad for most and not split down the middle.
That's because the make of the atomizers vary - even if it is the same model they are not 100% consistant in the manufacturing process - The reason China makes so many things is that they have SO MANY ppl - They do not have row and rows of robots making each item exactly the same - they have rows and rows of people doing a lot of the work by hand - Some are simply made better than others -
Re-Prime? how do you do that? That might be my problem. Had to get a replacement att for my "smoking everywhere" today and the new one doesn't work too well either. I'm gonna try the joytec 501 (as soon as I can afford it), I see good reviews on here, but for now, I gotta use this one I already have.... so what's this re-prime deal?
A thoroughly clean and dry atomizer needs to have some liquid in the metal sponge to promote proper wicking so it will start working quickly without over heating. A few drops of juice then let it soak in for a minute should do the trick.
New atomizers are primed at the factory (and some taste awful at first).
