Storing used attys?

[brandon555]

I currently have about 8 attys in my rotation. Mostly 510s, a couple 901s and a BE112.

At times some of them will sit for a week or so without being used.

Whats the best way to keep them? Sometimes I'll let them sit upside down so they can drain on their own and sometimes I'll blow the excess juice out.

Just wondering if the leftover juice in them will gunk up the coil or anything or if they'res any better methods of storing them so they maintain tip top performance.

Good question. Interested to see what answers you get since I have none of my own

I have mine thrown in a tackle box. Yesterday I decided to try one of my 401's that I havn't used in 6 months. The battery still had a charge and it worked the same as I remember it did when I stopped using it. I think that pretty much proves these things don't really need any special attention when you stop using them for a while.

walmart has these clear plastic storage containers near the tool section that has different size drawers with dividers.

i have never had a problem with any sitting for a long time I guess if you where really concerned about it.. you could get a tuperware container and toss them in that and fill it with pg or vg to cover the atty.. then just blow them out when you want to use them

I suggest storing them with liquid in them. I actually leave mine with moist cartridges on them.
It keeps them wet which I find is the best thing for atomizers, and on top of this it takes much longer for alot of liquid to dry then if its a small amount. When people blow them out, it will never get all the juice out. So if just a wet layer remains this drys faster and can cause issues

Just my take and I have dealt with quite a few

i let them sit in vodka for a bit then rinse in hot water then let them air dry. then they go in my ecig supply box.. when im ready to use it again, it works like new
my atty's last a long time so im sticking with this method, try it, you wont be sorry

I typically just blow them out and then put them in a zip lock bag.

Ever hear of a "baggie" maybe even a "ziplock", and you thought it was to keep you sandwiches fresh.

I only keep a couple of attys marching down "death row" at any given time, so I have never considered the best way to store used ones other than for shipping... I just dripped some VG in those and put them in a Ziploc baggie.

I just keep them in a small box and from time to time I give them a little use, usualy a 510 atty last for 6 month +/- so I am not to worry about care

i always rinse them with hot water, blow out, then do a controlled dry burn (the highping method). If I leave juice in em they get a bad, burnt flavor after a few days

Mine lie loose and dry on my desk. Haven't lost one yet (creeping up on 9 months now!).

I'd at least blow them out. I've had juice go bad in one, and that is really nasty.

I throw on a couple of carto condoms and throw them in the fridge.
