Just did this with my Ego and the atty was better than new. No Joke! So, whatever my Ego (clone) is; 3.4v or 3.7v works too.

Thanks for this post, I just upgraded from a blu cig to a 18650 E-power, and never used an atty before, didn't know how to clean it or anything..lol I will try this out and post again. Thanks again and Happy vaping!
Thanks for the all the info on cleaning attys. I recently bought the Lavatube and a couple of DCT by smoke tek. I received a couple of the 510 3ohm attys with the kit. Never really been into dripping but going to give it a try. So seeing how to best clean the attys was a big help.
Thanks again

thanks for the advice on cleaning the atty. I had one that I thought was burnt but just kept it "in case". did your method of dry burn cleaning now it works like it did new. thanks again!

Will have to try it out myself!
My 2.5ohm io6 is clocking in at 9ohms now. I'm guessing this one is not resurrectable.
You might be surprised... a lot of times the resistance goes crazy because of all of the funk on the coils. Give it a shot!
It won't glow orange until most of the crap is burnt off.Gave it a shot and it wont even glow orange. Dead.
If it is producing ANY heat at all then it is not dead, and you should keep on going!
Actually it did glow orange for a sec but now no heat whatsoever.
I have had success with this technique before in cleaning out an atty after using a lot of dark juices. So anyone reading, please disregard me and my one dead atty.

Okay, yeah, now it's dead.

HAH!!!
On a more serious note, you may have to actually chip some of the funk off of the coils before you start burning... and to prevent coils from getting this bad, you just need to maintain them... I do hot water rinses and mini dry burns every week or 2... keeps the atty from really gunking up and really brings the flavor of your juice back! I've had atties go months and months with this kind of maintenance.
I am the atty killer- doesn't seem to matter if I clean them, dry burn them or boil them.
I have limited success with using a sonic cleaner after a soak in PGA and in the sonic cleaner either with PGA (or if I run out, white vinegar). I had a pile of 20 or so attys tonight (about a month's worth of bad attys for me)- I go through about 6ml of juice a day. I also run warm water though them all about once every 3-4 days. Tonight, I ohmed them all...usually the ones that don't ohm at all are dead and I just toss them. Sometimes those that are starting to increase in ohms, by cleaning and then dry burning will bring the ohms down to a usable level, but not usually. I tend to use LR 510 attys and vaping on them with VG juice (like I do) is just hard on them. I'm waiting for a good rebuildable atty to use with my Reos. So, after tonight I have about 12 or so that are still working after cleaning 20- that ain't too bad. I separate them out and those that ohm at 2.4 or so to 3.5 (even though they started as either LR or regular (2.3ohm) attys) I use on my variable volt Reo at higher voltage- they don't last but a day or so usually, but I can still get a little life out of them. Those that ohm correctly after cleaning could last me a week or even a month- just depends. Seems quality control is just poor on especially LR attys. I like EM LR attys (cause they're cheap and vape good! and it doesn't kill me when I kill one) and Joye regular resistant attys for my VV Reo.
