Think I fried my atty..... Help Please!

[Evie]

So, I cleaned my attys (blow out, soak in hot water, blow out, isopropyl rinse, blow out, stand to dry) like I always do. One of my attys didn't dry completely (still flummoxed about that one). I started to use it, got a nasty taste and smell, turned it off, rinsed again and left it for two days. Now it tastes funky and I'm kinda scared to use it.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

as long as your atty can still turn on, probably it's not fried yet.

here's something you can try (no guarantee, but seems to work most times) but you'll have to sacrifice some juice to do it:

Drip about 10-12 drops of any flavor juice that you like in there (carefully because it may run out the other side) and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then blow it out and drip 4-5 drops in of the same flavor again and let it sit for a few minutes... then try vaping it (or blow out again just to be sure, prime 3 drops and vape).

It's ALLLIIIIIVVVVE!! (and tasting fantastically)

Thank you both!

And check your cart if you are using carts. The stuffing can get bitter and nasty with juice. Then I usually chuck the white stuffing and cut blue foam stuffing for the cart.

Which method did you use, Evie?

I used a modified version of the link pandatera provided. (Since I use a tank I couldn't see past the wick so I pulsed vewwwwwy cawwwefuwwwy and played it by sound.)

Thanks for the info pandatera. I've had a atty I thought was dead. I followed your instructions and the atty works like a new one now.

LOL. Thanks for posting the link to the instructions pandatera. I was so busy reading the instructions and getting the old atty going that I didn't notice Highping wrote the article.
