Works like a charm on my 510 atty's. Excellent tip.
Thanks for this method, My atties are only a few days old, but I tried my hand at making my own batch of juice, and I did something wrong because I was pulling barely any vapor off of one of the atties, and the other started to have problems when I tried it with the juice. I used this method last night, and the second atty is working great so far.
I haven't tired the first, but I have a feeling the problem isn't dirt. In the atty there is a cotten/rope like thread frayed out to the side of the bridge. I thought it was some filling because I had pulled a cart out and the filling was stuck on the bridge. So I went and took some tweezers to pull it out. I then realized it wasn't filler, but part of the atty itself. Do any of you have any suggestions for that? I was going to make a thread asking about it, but I figured it might be common knowledge here. Any ideas?
My son accidentally pulled the silica out of the coil on one of his atomizers. A 5-second draw using it gives almost no vapor. So, I tried dripping. 17 drips into a clean, dry atomizer and it was just starting to flood, but only the tiniest wisp of vapor generated in a 10-second draw. Glows nice and red, but it seems the liquid can't get to it.
I know many drip with success on atomizers with the wick removed, I just can't figure out how to do it successfully. So, if you're like me it may not work.
lol, I didn't just dump 17 drops in, I started with the recommended 2-3, then kept adding, trying to get more than a tinkerbell wisp of vapor. And no, nothing was flooded. This was a freshly-cleaned, bone-dry atomizer to begin with, not a primed and in-use atomizer. Though, it WAS on the verge of flooding.NO....u can't really drip with ANY atomizer by pouring 17 drops in it!!!!
If u accidentally remove the the silica wick, u can in fact remove the bridge also. THEN put 3 drops in the atty, no more than that! 5 drops in a 510 atomizer will flood it, with or without wick/bridge!
No bad taste after cleaning with this method either.
This was my favorite part of the whole thing.
