Last week I ordered some ce3's and a nano from SI. I have tired both but to do minor leaking issues with the ce3's I have been using the nano all week. I must say I have been loving everything about it and then this week decided to order some more nano's since I like them. Now towards the end of this week I have been starting to get what I assume are "dry hits" from my nano. Does this mean that I need to clean my nano at this point to get the "gunk" off the wicks? Note bubbles of air seem to be developing at the wick intake hole. What is the best way to clean these? Sorry for the newb questions but still working out a few things related to new to me technology.
Thanks

i believe the only way to clean them is to rinse them in hot tapwater or soak them in vodka,or water,,,,either way good luck with them pink elephants .

The air bubbles are normal. Try priming the nano (puff on them without firing the battery, or while off the battery; cover the other end while inhaling would be best)I don't think there's anyway to clean the nano, not the coil anyway. Otherwise it could be done for. Especially if its the only thing you've been using for the entire week.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Due to the construction of the Nano there is no way to truly clean it. A Nano is actually a mini tank system with a mini cartomizer in the middle. There is no way, short of destroying the Nano, to get to that carto, the polyfill, wicks or coil. You can try a vodka soak followed by a rinse, but that soak would have to be in terms of a few days to accomlish anything, then the rinse is also a problem. The polyfill is inside the chrome air tube at the large end at the bottom and has another air tube going through it. That makes circulating any form of cleaning liquids very problematic. The Nano seems to be designed as a "use it until it stops working, then throw it away" type of delivery system.

Just my opinion, worth what you're paying for it, your results and mileage may vary, no warranty or guaranty is expressed or implied.
