ok tried it and it almost got the cinnamon flavour out but not quite might try again see if a second run may do it. Cinnamon juice is really really hard to get out!!
The vinegar shouldn't attack the metal,since there is already bicarb in there, which neutralizes the acid. It should be pretty much ph neutral.
After reading this thread yesterday, I decided to try and bring an old 510 back to life. The atty in question was about 2 months old. It still fired, but produced almost no vapor, no throat hit and I thought it was pretty much spent. I made a little funnel from a scrap of paper and poured in about 1/8 tsp of baking soda. I dropped in about the same amount of white vinegar and placed my thumb over the open end. The reaction was immediate and bubbles started to pour out of the battery end. I flushed it with vinegar a few more times to dissolve all of the remaining baking soda. (I'd probably used too much) Then I towel dried it as best I could and blew out all the remaining liquid. I did NOT rinse it in water. I dry fired it for about five seconds and put a few drops of 50/50 liquid in. I used it for the rest of the evening and hit it a few times before I left the house this morning. It works perfectly. Great vapor, throat hit, and flavor. I also did NOT notice any vinegar taste like some people have complained of. I'm new to vaping, and the atty was one of the two 510s that came in the startup kit I bought when I first started all this a few months ago. I wish I'd not thrown out the other one I got in that kit, which quit on me a few weeks back. I've gone a little crazy buying gear and juice since I quit smoking. If I'm able to resurrect the other attys I've got now when they die, I could theoretically have enough stuff to get me through an entire year. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread.
I remember seeing someone on youtube suggesting this method but I wasn't convinced it will work better than cleaning with Alcohol.
hmmmmmmm .. with all this response and feed back .. I think I will try it

I have a great idea...if it works it should leave your atty as fresh as a summers eve...
wait, nevermind!
In all seriousness though, thank you, I am going to try this tonight...and maybe blow up a few 2 liter bottles while I'm at it!

I have been soaking my eGo attys in vinegar and water and that seems to work, I was wondering if when you use the baking soda if it clods the atty? Just a thought
i'm getting vinegar and baking soda asap as 10 weeks into vaping on my g6 my cartos are all clogged up with juice
I saw a YouTube video where a lady would take the atty out of the ego-c and pop the pointed end off with a small screwdriver at the two slots on the pointy side that pierces the tank. Then she took the main body of the atty into a pair of pliers and heated it over a stove burner until the inside coil glowed and then rinse it with water and repeat until all of the build up on the coil was burnt off and a clean coil and reassemble. I didn't like the tap water she used but I could use a reverse osmosis tap I have at my sink. I also don't know if heating the coil and dramatically cooling it would effect the coil in a good or bad way??? But it seamed to crystallize the build up on the atty coil that could cause hot spots on the atty coil eventually severing the coil. Has anyone heard of or found this method to be effective on the ego-c joyetech type A atty???
Oh... By the way...the Baking Soda idea sounds so awesome...and i will have to try the lemon juice as well!!! Thanks for the tip.
