It's amazing what a good equipment clean can do.

after a year vaping i should probably have come to automatically realise this.

dry hits, lack of vapour production, gargling, "wet hits" (anyone else experience these? not read anything really about them... it's not a burst of leaked ejuice (which you can feel burn on your tongue) but a feeling of inhaling not vapour but tiny particles of ejuice that feel like they go directly into your lungs... don't really know how to explain it!), general underperformance from a once decent set up.

often i just resort to changing the atty coil/head for a new one because i find cleaning everything tedious.

but take minutes to clean EVERYTHING and it works wonders in breathing new life into your gear. and i meand EVERYTHING... and what i've found is ESPECIALLY the air-holes.

currently vaping on a protank mini II with an aspire VV battery. you can clean these things and think you've done a thorough job but check those air holes. sometimes they're so gunked up that a quick rinse under the tap won't clear it. make sure that airhole is fully clear. i use a safety pin the push the gunk out and then use the steam wand from the coffee machine at work to blow everything away. works wonders.

Interesting idea. Good friend of mine owns a coffee shop, might have to try this out. Thanks for the tip.

Huh?! Who would of thought that cleaning something will make it perform better!?! I have always thought changing my oil in my car was just another way for the "Man" to make me waste my money. My car does make a really strange grinding noise though...

This is why I moved to rebuildables. It's actually more time/labor efficient to rebuild than it is to clean/troubleshoot clearos.

Although many people have thought of it, my guess is that many people still don't do it.

Too True!! Too True!! But if people maintain and service their things (whatever it may be) it WILL last longer! Much longer!!

I have some little Esmart 808 threaded clearomizers and some Kanger T4 808D clearomizers that I have been using for 2 months and they are still going strong. I clean them with hot tap water and a hypodermic with blunt needle when they slow down a bit on performance. I use them both on stick batteries and variable voltage ego style batteries. Get very good vapor and flavor from them. Cleaning is why they still cook for me.
