Sun, Are you still cleaning your atty's with Ice Machine cleaner and having success? Your thread sounded logical to me so I have purchased some. How often would you suggest cleaning them? Is there such a thing as over cleaning them? I have only been vaping (using three different atomizers) for just over 2 weeks now. I have not cleaned any of my atty's yet but do turn them upside down to drain at night.

Guys and gals, I don't have time to read through 63 pages and I got my bottle of Nu Calgon today. Do I dilute or use straight from the bottle to clean my atty?
This thead is really, really old, and kinda dead.
Nobody uses Nu Calgon to clean atomizers nowadays.

I suggest dry burns, as discovered long ago in this thread...

Turns out the hydrogen pyroxide part of that was not even necessary.
It was the dry burns that did all the cleaning.

And I suggest using the procedure outlined in this thread more recently...

Others might suggest something else though, bet on it...

Well thanks...I guess I shoulda asked before I ordered it. All those warnings not to use a dry atty, and this is the best way to clean it? Okeley dokely, will try it nest time I need to clean.

i use the dry burns method, i.e wait for the glows, repeat, ..etc.
It works for newish atties but eventually they all underperform with time, even with the dry burn method.
I'm still looking for a new method and i didn't know of this one till now.
It sounds like the stuff they use to clean cold air-conditioner innards.
Problem is it's not something that you can buy at the local shops is it?
