I cleaned a few attys 2 weeks ago and tonight, I thought I would put try them just to see the difference....What a difference in vapour and flavour it made. Got to do it more often. How many time do you clean them before they are toast?
Nothing like changging your ego c atty

Were they new or just cleaned? I usually clean my atty out every few days and havent replaced it (its been about a month)
I blow on both ends of teh atty (head) (ensuring wick doesnt go in) then put in stream of lukewarm water for a while on both ends, let it soak up water, blow it out, put it on and dryvape a tiny bit of water without the tank on, drip juice into atty direct, then put tank on and inhale hard to get juice flowing a little without flooding, draw a few times to get it flowing, and in a few draws it goes to perfect vapor and flavor.

I tried this once but bent the atty base and had to turf it. I plan on trying again, with more patience next time

It seems to me that running with a coil that caked with gunk is going to kill your atty faster than anything. After all, it's the juice that keeps the coil from overheating. I think you're better off doing a controlled dry burn than puffing on a dirty atty trying to get it to work.
you should not boil them they will collect rust on them, the best way to clean them is buy some really cheap vodka and let them sit for about a half hour them blow them out and let dry, the alcohol evaporates faster than water and wont rust out the inside.
What's worked for me - open them up, rinse out with hot water. Torch the wick until it turns white. Dry burn the water off the coil. Close up & add 1 drop of e-juice to wick - 5 to 10 puffs - should be good to go.
Replacing the tiny wick was the real challenge & took me many tries b4 I eventually had some success. Used a piece of ZIPPO wick - very cheap & easy to get - most corner stores have them - worked best when I removed the copper braiding & torched the coil end.

Pry off the needle plate. Sometimes the wick is stuck to the coil, so take it apart very carefully and try not to pull the wick out or you'll have to re-wick it. Then put the atomizer back in and put the cone on. Then press the button, look down the cone, and get the coil to glow. Don't hold it too long. Just get it to glow and release, blowing into after each time to get the charred remains off. Once it's free of the gunk, take it apart and re-assemble the atty.
