Hello All, can anybody direct me to some proper atty care for great longevity? I searched around but couldn't find anything specific. I just read about how some members have had theirs last for months. Thanks.

Jiggity, I've been using the same 4 atty's for the last 2 months. every week or so, I just soak the ones I am not currently using in a cup of 70 to 90 % IsoProyl alcohol for 5 minutes, take them out, blow them out, set them aside and and let them dry out. When they don't taste like alchohal when you draw on them, they are ready to go. This is what I do anyhow, you will find a lot of different opinions on this
Thanks,
Jeff~

I do the same as mauzey, and have a couple 510's over 3 months old (my originals!) that are swapped for near chain-vaping on my pt.
I have 3 attys (2 I alternate and one spare put away). I have a little jar of vodka (drinkable grain alcohol would be better). Every weekend I put the atty I used all week into the jar and swish it around, and switch to a clean dry atty (after priming with some juice). Next day I swish, remove, shake out the old atty from the alcohol and set it on paper towels to dry. The next weekend I switch to the clean one.
Also good for atty life - pay attention to how hot it's getting. If it's getting real hot than add more juice. if it's not getting hot, see if it needs to be blown out into a tissue. And whenever you remove a battery, check if there is juice in that connection (both the atty and battery ends) and clean it up if there is.

My attys have been last over 3 months without any problems and I never "clean", I just blow them out every day or so.
Ive been washing my attys out nightly. I keep wanting to try different flavors. Could cleaning an atty to often cause damage to it?
Zombie - what are you washing in? I don't think a pure edible alcohol would hurt that often (like grain alcohol from the liquor store). Some use water but I wouldn't use water - there are so many impurities in tap water and even bottled water has minerals and stuff.
So i can just buy regular grain vodka and then soak the atty in a bowl of it overnight. and then the next day i just lay it on a paper towel to dry out and then its ready to use again?!
Dpowell, just get some 70 to 90 % Isopropyl Alcohol and soak for a couple of minuets, blow it out and let the alcohol evap, cheap and easy.
After nearly two years of vaping, I have come to the view that the best thing to do with atties is nothing - use em and bin em...
