I think warm water would clean the tank pretty well. If you think there is a lingering odor the baking soda- vinegar would probably remove it though.
Hmmm, this is working less than steller for me.
Tried an atty with this method, white vinegar and baking soda. Had a really hard time getting both ingredients in there without making a huge mess, what kind of tools are you guys using for this?
Anyway, the powder started fizzing as soon as the vinegar hit it so I tried to plug it with my thumb, shook it out then rinsed. After it dried all I could taste was vinegar. Or baking soda. Was horrible.
So I tried it again, after double checking this post to make sure I have the right ingredients; yep, baking soda and white vinegar. Same thing. Even rinsed it out about 16 times just to make sure.
Tried a dry burn on my fourth (or fifth?) attempt, doesn't matter. Ick.
Every juice I have is undermined by that awful vinegar taste.
What am I missing here?

I have just been blowing out, rinsing, and dry burning my tank atties, but I'm certainly going to give this a try! I have an atty or 2 that I've used with some strong juices that seem linger no matter how many times I clean them! Will report with results after I test!

I don't know that your missing anything, but I've not experienced that problem. I do my atty's this way all the time and some a couple times a week without problem. They seem to be fresh and clean. You might try using some lemon concentrate with the vinegar. I agree, it is a bit messy, but I do it right over the sink and it makes it pretty easy to clean up. I haven't found a way that does as nice a job as this, although I have not tried the ultrasonic method.
Just had a thought, you might try adding excess baking soda instead of excess vinegar, the bicarbonate will neutralize the vinegar, then just rinse out the baking soda.

Did this today on my hubby's tank atty (he thinks he can just vape all the time without maintenance. 
) and it worked great!!! He said it hits like new again! I like this method and will continue to use it! Thanks rondodog!!!

Hey roll
I just kept adding white vinegar til it stopped fizzing. You gotta be quick with the thumb over the atty
Try doing the baking soda then vinegar a couple of times, rinse wel and blow out the excess water and let them dry overnite

Yea maybe I did not do it enough times. Will give that a shot. I have been using 90% Iso alcohol and that leaves a bit of a lingering taste also but it goes away fairly quickly.
I,m not familar with the 510 T atty, but I don't think it would be any different than the ego T's. I have used this method with those.
For all those with an eGo T atty or similar atty (Bauway iTank and so on) What I did was place my baking soda in the atty inside the Tank side of the atty, I also put some on my thumb then seal that end with that thumb. With the battery end up, pour your vinegar through the tiny hole so the vinegar goes down that small hole to your thumb..... move your head back, really, the reaction happening will rocket back through the hole... and hit you in the face if you haven't moved back already
Shake the atty with vinegar in the bottom to react with the baking soda that is probably still clinging along the atty wall.
This worked well for my ego attys. Only once did I have the lingering vinegar taste (realized I used more vinegar then I should have, either use a little less vinegar or as others have said, add lemon juice to neutralize the vinegar
EDIT: To achieve what I mention above, it is best to use a syringe to deliver the vinegar deep into the tiny hole. I forgot to mention that

I'll have to give this a try....I have used the diet coke for cleaning my tank attys and it works ok, but need something better....after I rinse the atty out good, I dry it standing cart side down on a 60 watt light bulb.....after 5 minutes or so it is dry as can be and ready to vape away.....thanks for the baking soda tip..... 80)
I just cleaned my first atty using this method.
I did the baking soda and vinegar twice, rinsed, blew, and burned dry.
It still tasted nasty.
So I did it 2 more times and then dropped a little key lime juice (I'm out of lemons) on the atty before rinsing.
Came out clean and tasting like new!
Thanks rondodog!

I ahve been using the denture tab method, but I anm gonna try this on my next cleaning round. Thanx for the tip
