Music burned out my atty :(

[NatureBoy]

I had music playing pretty loudly as I was working out. Every time I went back to my computer to change the music, I kept smelling something sweet.. but couldn't figure out what it was.

Then I finally clued in... my 084 was being set off by the music! (nothing else was though, oddly enough). Unfortunately by the time I got to it, all juice was burned off and it smelled quite bad.

I've been trying to resurrect it by dripping juice on it, but it just stinks and tastes like crap. I think it's done for...

What an annoying thing to happen. I'm liking manual batteries more and more each day.. this is seriously ridiculous.

Dang cat lovers! Just can't get it right.

Check out Sattec's atty cleaning thread.

Read the last part. I do a blow out and drain. Fifteen or twenty minute soak and final rinse in vodka or any other clear high alcohol content drinkable liquid.

May not work but it's worth a shot.

Yeah, it's worth a shot. I've got a few attys that need cleaning... dunno why, but having them sit for a week or so made them foul up bad. Both the cart and attys stink like wet cardboard or something. it's really strange because it's a sweet juice, not tobacco.. wouldn't expect that.

So while I'm at it, I may as well try to clean the 084 atty as well... maybe I'll luck out.

Sorry you have mistaken noise for music.

Sorry you have mistaken noise for music.

What exactly is that supposed to mean, and was it really necessary to post at all?

Sorry you have mistaken noise for music.

Maybe you shouldn't take it so personally...I'm a hard rock/metal girl myself, and that comment made me chuckle out loud. Thx wagwheel

Funny, I don't recall saying what type of music I was listening to.

Darn that Michael Bolton!!!!!!!!!!!


I don't have an 084, but if it is like any other atty.. an advanced solution(if cleaning doesn't work) would to be pull the wicking material out of the atty (carefully) and that should solve the burnt taste from the atty
Warning: if this is done atty will ONLY be good for DRIPPING on.

Not a bad idea, actually. It's funny you should mention that because I've only been using it for dripping. It works really well for that!

Worst case scenario, if cleaning it doesn't help.. instead of throwing it out I will try your suggestion, thanks.

I'm glad I have a replacement on the way from China. I think they sent it on a boat... sure is taking a long time.

 

[Lightgeoduck]

A replacement.... a good rule of thumb is to have a few as spare... you know just in-case Kenny G comes on the radio

I wish you luck with that NB

 

[NatureBoy]

Thanks, yeah you're right I should have ordered a few.. especially since it takes so long to get here.

Not to mention, I think the Chinese New Year is going on, so everything is taking a while

Yes it is Chinese New year and everything is backlogged!
