they do have a mind of their own

So basically it's 2 teaspoons of salt for 1 litre of water right? Thanks

I don't get how salt water could be a cleaning solution. Wouldn't the salt just be left behind, like salt in a pot of boiling water?

Actually it depends on the concentration of salt in the mix..the lesser the better ...haven't tried with 0.9% so far but very successful with the 0.45%...So far it didn't cause excessive rust but do tend to clean better...I did not see any salt crystals too....

I used to have a cat with a chronic condition of sneezing-sickness (former owners hadn't gotten it medicine when it needed it; once chronic, medicine couldn't get it cured anymore).
Experimenting together with the vet, we found that the best solution to keep this cat fairly healthy was: 'etch' it's nose-tubes and other respitory-tubes each month or so by dripping saline-solution into the nose for about a week. That would keep the airways clean again for weeks after.

I see using the saline for e-smoking as rather the same thing. It should keep open the airways through to the atomizer (through the mesh-bridge). And seeing it this way makes it 'understandable' to me why it would be able to work.
Hope first off I hope I am seeing this correctly; and second that it might help you to get an idea on it's usefulness too.
(Though I must say, the knowledge that salt doesn't exactly have any rust-warding properties, to put it lightly, is a slightly uncomfortable knowledge for me too.)
