I still want to try vinegar then rinse with baking soda and water.
SHEEEESHH! --- !!!
Has anyone noticed that the "holy grail" of atty cleaning (as originally posted by Sun Vaporer back around the beginning of April) ---
is NOW ABOUT 61 PAGES LONG!!!
hmmmm- so much for all the 'right' ways to clean gunked-up atomizers.

Majestic,
A couple questions if you dont mind.
What model PV.
Voltage
juice base, PG or VG or mix.
One flavor or a wide varity?
Thanks
Well, the cola soak has been working for me. I'm still using the atty I put in service on July 20th. I gave up on trying to count the number of days it has been in use.
Thanks.
So you are paralleling them. Atty of choice?
The longevity intrigues me as to which lasts the longest.
The average PV at 3.7 is running at about 4watts.
I've rewound them to produce 5watts still making good vapor, but they do gunk a bit.
If ran dry, the heat is still enough to carbon the gunk dooming the atty.
I should use a regular cleaning regieme.
I'm now going to try higher wattage as to imitate the 5 & 6v users to see if carbon reduction can actually be prevented by ashing the liquid before it has a chance to stick.
Hotter temps will allow more expansion and contraction of the wire possibly discarding premature buildup.
Just a looooong test.................................
Am I to understand that you found a way to rewind a atty thus rebuliding them? I'd love some more information on that procedure.I've rewound them to produce 3watts still making good vapor, but they do gunk a bit.
But surely the fun of it is on the joy of the jouney,
not arriving at the destination
afaik it's likely strong HCl is less used than maybe implied by all the older interest,
think gentler methods are probably more favoured (and less risky),
current flavour for atty 'freshening' still seems to be the 'Crest mouthwash' thing
don't think it's quite the same 'degree' but then I've never tried it.
There's a recent-ish poll
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...hat-method-works-best-cleaning-atomizers.html
but it doesn't contain all the options, particularly not the (probable) most common
effective method - 'dry burning' (or the 'chuck it away' option),
& it hasn't got too many votes so far...
Personally I'd still use the 'dry heat & fizz' H2O2 method - if I had atties that were
clogging as much as they used to - mine don't cos I've mainly switched to snus.
Lots of people drift away or just post less, it's pretty normal for forums generally I think
