Maintenance

[sgpkato]

Maybe you know but, just I want to share with you how to maintain your atty and cart.
I have checked several Japanese web page which introducing their way to maintain their parts.

I found the easiest way is to soak into baking soda solution for an hour. I have tried and it does work.
Then soak into Absolute alcohol is another way they said effective but, I have not tried.

Or, if you have better way to do the maintenance, please share with us!

I'm a light vaper and I only clean my attys like once every 2 weeks. Been using the same atty for almost 2mths already. I've been using hot water only though.

I forgot that they said frequency is every 1 - 4 weeks...

I'm a chain vaporer. I clean every 2 days or so. Rinse with warm water/blow out. Then dry burn and rinse/blow out again. I have only thrown away 2 attys, both because I hadn't learned to dewick/and keep them wet.

Hi Kato san,

Another way would be using IsoPropyl Alcohol.
Soaking it for 10mins and continuously letting the IPA flow out of the atty.
After that, do a wipe cry and blow out the atty.
Care not to inhale it as its harmful to the body.
Let it dry for 48hrs and it shd be done. Good as new.

Hi Fattybob,

Where to get IPA?
However, sounds bit dangerous...

Erm, you can get it from Guardian.
or any other dispensaries.

I used denatured alcohol from Guardian and it took off the black paint from the atty. Now my black atties all got 10-cent and 50-cent.

Now i boil by atties for 10minutes; soak another 10m, change water and boil another 10mins.
Then dry for 1-2 days
