Tank Atty Problem and Question

[pcijohn]

I have been using tanks for a while now and all of a sudden I cannot get good flavor or vapor out of my used atty's I boil them once a week to clean and always like new after but now it seems I cant get and liquid into them even with a hard suck. Anybody else seen this? what can I do? I broke out a new on and it works fine.

I have never boiled them, so i couldn't compare that. I have always just ran hot water through it and then blew the water out. They have been working fine for awhile now.

Take a look at your wick and see how it's positioned.
Here's is a video of what i mean, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MXYm1e_uuU

Don't boil them. Rinse the with hot water then get some denture cleaner and soak them for 15 to 20 mnutes. I usually set the atty right on top of the bubbling tablet, I don't know if it makes a difference but thats how I do it. Rinse well with hot water. Dry them completely. Works great for me. I had the same problem with mine. I thought it was clogged and never going to work again. I only vape sweet, sticky flavors and usualy a 50/50 mix, so my atty's get clogged quickly. After the denture cleaner it was like new again. Now I do it about once a week and it keeps them working great. Over a month with my first tank atty and its still great. And its my fav so I used it everyday, all the time. I only use my spares while its drying. To prime it I fill a tank and let it sit upright for an hour or so. Then I refill the tank and drop 3 or 4 drops into the battery side, wipe off the extra and your ready to go.

What kind of denture cleaner do you use?

A cheap store brand that compares to efferdent. Takes 15 minutes, starts off blue then turns white.

Thanks I also saw a post from a engineer here somewhere that said the best way to clean then was a sonic haiger jewelry cleaner

I have one of those too but nothing works better then the denture cleaner. It's quick and it works. Just drop them in and let the cleaner do all the work. I've tried all that ways I found to clean them, alcohol, crest mouthwash, sonic jewelry cleaner, crest mouthwash in my sonic jewlery cleaner, hot water. The only one I haven't tried is boiling them. I found the denture cleaner before I got to trying that one. If I can avoid fussing with boiling liquids, I do. They all work to varring degrees. It just depends on how you like to do things. I prefer to clean them good once a week rather then blow them out and rinse them all the time. In case you haven't guessed it yet, I'm obsessed with keeping my atty's clean. I hate when they are dirty but also try to do as little maintanance as possible

I have seen myself using my Reo Mini a lot more than my ego-t's. The flavor and hit is so much better in my opinion. Even though i still do carry them in my car if ever something would happen to my mini i'd have a backup. Problem with trying to buy Reos is they are never in stock. Right now they have some Reo Woodvils in stock if you want a bigger great juicefed mod.

I used water at first but have found alcohol to be quicker a good soak then blow it out can be ready to use in couple hours or with some fiddling I've got the taste of alcohol out in as little as an hour. In another thread I saw somewhere last night I saw where someone used a dental pic and poke the little air hole at the base of the threads on the atomizer. I gave it a try and it helped immensely I guess the hole is so small that it didn't always get clean. Another thing I do when the flavor is getting low with tight pull is to pull out tank ank press trigger while pulling directly on the atomizer

Here's the link to the little hole @Justice is talking about.

Thanks jazdale since I landed on my head sometimes I can't remember all of what I remember
