if i get a muted taste i toss it in some cheap vodka for a few hours then blow it out and flush some atty refresher in it (90% PG 10% Everclear) around 10 drops. its good to go like brand new.

If having issues I would try this guys, and from judging by the videos it's still working quite nicely for you sir. Glad to see your enjoying them and love the videos as well, very informative and to the point.

I just got my first order of the 357's, first time user of them, I gotta say so far I am impressed and there working extremely well. I use a heavy VG juice all the time and there working excellent for me.

As for ultrasonic cleaners I have one but never really seem to get such a great job out of mine because it has an Auto shut off and it doesn't run more than 3-4 Min before shutting off so I dont even bother using it any longer. However there are ones out there that are much more expensive that may be very good but your gonna have to step up and spend $$$ for them. I've been cleaning my Attys with PGA for some time now and soaking them in that and a quick very hot water rinse, heated Dry in the over and re-prime with a little PG has seemed to work very well for me. I think getting the water out quickly really helps blowing them out and right into the oven for 20 min or so, just my 2c and what's worked

i just want to throw in my 2 cents about dry burning. I had one that was dead. I have a ultrasonic that I used with no luck. I used the dry burn technique. It took forever before the coil would get red. finally it did. Now it is working much better.

I wonder if there are any long term ramifications of doing this?

From what I understand, dry-burning weakens the nicrome wire gradually. It was originally introduced as a "resurrection" method, to bring back atties which were almost dead or barely alive. Some people today use it as a part of regular routine maintenance. Most manufacturers advise against it but many people seem use it successfully. I've dry-burned many atties in the past and a few times but only when they are really on their way out and not really usable since there is a risk of completely ruining them if not careful.
