I have heard some people buy those $10 air cans to blow out there $10 atomizer and others blow till they pass out. Quick cheap trick blow up a balloon and slowly release the air to the atomizer. Cheap and you can get controlled bursts of air.
Use a balloon...

Great idea! I have canned air sitting around to clean my computer and electronics so I tried it. It ended up ruining one of my attys by blowing out the filling inside. I would not recommend using the canned air because it's just to strong.
My roommate has a bunch of balloon animal balloons and a pump. This is a great idea I'm gonna run with. Thanks!
Great tip. I must locate a source for balloons. Would you recommend round ones or long skinny ones? I have some surgical gloves on hand, but the opening is probably too large to get the concentrated airflow needed to properly blow an atomizer.
Good to know. I was thinking about getting a cheap air compresser, but perhaps the strongest thing that should be used is a balloon like mentioned in this thread. B.t.w., I once tried a combination of soaking in coca cola, boiling, and then steaming it. Yep, dead as a doornail after that 
I use my airbrush. Never thought of balloons<smacks head

and, for a couple of bucks, you have a resuable balloon based cleaning machine.
remeber, you saw it here first!

Good idea!
For those who use the canned "air" please be aware that there really isn't air in the can. It is mostly LPG (liquified Petroleum Gas). I don't know why it is still called canned air. Young people sniff the stuff to get high. A lot of them die.

I heard health cabin is going to include one (choice of colors) in their DIY atty care kits..but we will have to wait till 2012
what about the little double action air pump that comes with balloon animal kits? not too much pressure(you can control it) and its always ready (you don't have to keep blowing up balloons)small and compact
Awesome tip....... no more blackouts for me !!
Can you imagine if helium for a helium inflated balloon was residual ?? I'd save "those" atty's for the people that always bug me to try MY e-cig !! Then of course, laugh my head off......
*** just wishin....

Sounds weird but remember when blowing up a balloon you can take breathers in between. When cleaning the atomizer it is better to keep the air on it for a period of time. If you are able to get the guck to start coming off the coil (big if) it is more likely to come seperated if you give it continuous air on it imo...
Yah, I think it's more work to blow up a balloon than to blow out an atomizer.
