so... boiling atomizers??

[dormouse]

Some 901 attys seem to have plastic in them - I can sometimes see what looks like plastic through the air inlet. And in some thread someone took one kind apart and there was plastic doing something inside. So I am a bit wary of boiling those. I have soaked my other attys in near-bowling water.

my friend boils water and puts the water in a Styrofoam cup and then puts the atomizer in that

I wouldn't think you're actually "consuming" the IPA if it's dried and evaporated over 24 hours or so. So far used boiled distilled water soak and air dry.

wow, i can't believe i started this thread almost 2 years ago...

... i actually recently re-visited the boiling method with little success. I boiled an LR306 , an LR510 and a regular 510... afterward they were all basically the same... the LR510 was a goner, it didn't really improve the vape in any way

So what do you prefer Mr. Green?

i haven't found anything to help the performance of an atty, sometimes i will blow it out and give it a little "dry burn" , to remove unwanted flavors i will sometimes soak an atty overnight in vodka, then blow it out, and let it dry

Dry burn and rinse w/ hot water...

OR blow it out and soak it in Crest Pro Health for about 1/2hr. Then rinse well, dry burn, and rinse again. You'll see actual chunks of stuff come off the atty when soaking.

If you needed atty tips, Nick, you should've just asked me

I kid, I kid.

Interesting thread. I just bought some Everclear for the purpose of soaking and then blowing out (only bought the Everclear because I couldn't find any cheap 151 proof vodka, even though it is legal to sell in California). Just have to see how it goes, but I doubt highly that it would be worth continuing using Everclear, since I can get 5 new attys for 23 bucks shipped. More of an experiment tonight.

That could be $23 towards juice though!..... lol! But I see your point, its just nice to always have good clean broken in atty's and if it ain't broke why replace it.....clean it!

I don't boil my atomizer but I run hot water through it and blow it out and that seems to do the trick.

before I started boiling my carts I had accidentally removed all of the filler along with the wick and coil. From what I can tell there is no way to repair this. Or is there?
