Attys can have the bridge and or wick removed and still work. Some people swear by boiling them..I wouldn't....imo

Perhaps I wasnt clear. A poorly preforming atty or one that taste burnt can be bought back to good working order and may not need be disgarded. You can still drip and some say the flavor is improved after doing so.

Here is another way to fix a poorly performing atomizer, or remove a burnt taste, without removing the wick or bridge...

Ok here is my update.
I am still smoking analogs as one of the batteries got some juice on it and the button went into the battery so it stopped working.:closedeyes:

The second battery only lasts like half an hour, both are the joye510 model.:closedeyes:

I soaked one atty in rubbing alcohol for half hr and have it drying.

I am wondering why my battery ( the working one) is not holding its charge,
Should I have charged it for a few hours before its first use?:(

I am an idiot I guess I just opened it and started to vape. I think I should have washed out the primer in the original atty first also?:oops:

Oh well the learning curve.
I have 3 new batteries coming, new attys, juice, cartomizers, blank carts and juice coming.

I am gonna charge the new batteries for 6 hrs before use. soak and dry the attys in rubbing alcohol for 14 hrs, learn to add juice to the cartomizer and cartridges and start over this week to be analog free. :)

Hopefully by Thursday as my stuff should arrive by Wednesday.

Thank you all and Peace

When it comes to Lithium-Ion batteries you don't have to do anything special with them.
Use them whenever you want, charge them whenever you want, charge them as much as you want.

I could point you to a bunch of resources, but this is the simplest explanation...
Charging lithium-ion batteries - MP3 Player FAQ - abi>>forums

It may be a post on a forum, but it is correct.
:)

However, if you want to get into the details, this link is the best place to go...

Thanks PV Master.

Now I am still waiting for my supplies from NorthenVapor and having to buy analogs at 10 dollars a pack.
I am starting to wonder whether I should have bought form an American company as their customer service sucks all I have is and email addy. I am gonna try and find a phone number form my paypal invioce.

I paid for express shipping which should have been 24 hrs and its been 6 days and still nothing....

I'm still going with steam cleaning, something like the Shark or something. If you have one of these things laying around, can get one or borrow one, they work great for me. Just use the hose and something to point down in the atomizer, use its pressure to force the gunk out. Been doing it now for almost 2 months and I still can't find any ill effect. They dry extremely fast, too, I can use them almost immediately.

Oh yeah I think I am gonna order a pass through.
I am using my monthly analog budget as I usually spend over 300.
Are the pass throughs good?
What is the difference with these 2?
Please Choose:
type:
1 usb direct manual (black)
or
2 with battery (black)

The passthrough is pretty awesome, the difference is you can vape it while it is charging. I have both. I have two eGos with manual batteries and a 1000 mah USB passthrough. I bring both manual batts with me throughout the day just in case something happens to one and use my passthrough at home when I am on the computer. :)
