Hi Caged,
I'm sorry your having a bad time with these. A While back back I jumped on the organic flavors too. It was an attempt to to contribute to an organic lifestyle that my dear friend Leigh tried getting me into.
The flavors were good, but they just didn't seem to want to wick well. They were dark liquids which were pretty thick. Through out the years I learned dark liquids just never seem to vape right. If you noticed on a Clear cartomizer when you use a standard liquid which is typically a light golden yellow, over time the remaining liquid starts to turn brown, as it's receiving heat but being recycled again. It starts to get gunky. Now if you take whats already dark and thick (twss) it will solidifies even faster. But that was pretty off topic, well it can be
Back to the organic stuff, I went through 5 different flavors with various pieces of equipment and all just had the poorest performance in a matter of a few hits.
You can use alcohol to clean, but remember, a heating core is a solvent. They disintegrate over time in a very slow process during each use. Alcohol does accelerate this process. So when you soak it in, (use a barrel or something along the lines of a syringe body that fits the atty) let it soak for about 30 minutes, agitate the container very lightly, let sit for another 30, agitate then dump out. Then wipe off the threading and blow through from the bottom end out. It's best to use your mouth as canned air as horrible properties in it's contents and the pressure is just too strong. When nothing is coming out if the atty, let it sit for about 30 more minutes, by this time all the alcohol should be evaporated and the atty should be bone dry. Now place the nozzle of the e-liquid right up against the bridge and press in a few drops, 3 seconds should do it and you should be right as rain. This process should only be taken as a last resort only. Repeating this method will kill your atty over time.
I learned if you let the atty soak for about 6-8 hours the mesh becomes very damaged and extremely stiff rendering the atomizer useless.
ps. iuf you can grab a bottle of Everclear Grain alcohol, it will be better. I believe Switcher has used iso-propyl as an alternative.
Good luck!
