Ive seen a lot of videos on YouTube demonstrating how to boil atties in order to clean them or bring then back to life. I have to admit Im curious, even though I dont really use atties anymore, Im much fonder of cartos. However, that being said I have a pile of dead or semi-functioning atties lying around so for some weekend fun I decided to see if this trick worked.
I should let you all know that I video taped the entire process and had planned on releasing this as a video tip. Unfortunately somehow the video was corrupted and I cant get it to open in my editing software. So, I will run through the steps with some pictures, hopefully this will do
1. Fill a medium size pot halfway with regular tap water. It does not need to be distilled, the boiling process will kill any bacteria.
2. Once the water comes to a boil dump your atties in.
3. Let them boil for about 10mins, or until you cant smell juice yes, as they boil you will smell juice!
4. Once boiled, take them off the heat and use a spoon to move them from the hot water and place them on a paper towel to dry.
5. Let them dry for about an 1 hour.
6. After they have dried for about 1 hour we need to blow out the extra water trapped inside.
7. Blow through the battery end into a paper towel you will see water come out. Repeat until no more water comes out.
8. Let them dry again this time over night.
9. The next day place the atty on you bat and listen to make sure it crackles no crackle, no function. If there is crackle you are ready to try it out.
10. Get some juice, fill a tank, place it on your atty, and vape!
Ok, so I followed the above steps with 4 atties 2 generic 510 Ts and 2 genuine Joye 510 Ts. Unfortunately only 1 of the 3 actually came back to life (insert evil laugh here muahaha!). The other 3 made it right back to the graveyard.
The revived Frankenstein atty actually vapes! I get flavour, I get vapour I have to admit, shocked! How much longer it will last, that is another question. On a side not, the revived atty is a generic atty not a genuine Joye.
That being said, not sure if I consider this a successful or failed experiment. Considering how cheap you can get atties for today, its a lengthy process, especially if this atty only ends up holding out for a few more hours or days.
So, basically its up to you to decide if its worth your time. As I mentioned earlier, I prefer cartos, and they seam to last longer for me, also cleaning cartos is way easier and more effective (see my cleaning cartos video).
back to the lab for me what else can I bring back from the dead
muahaha
