While reading other threads (i.e. www_e-cigarette-forum_com/forum/experiments-equipment/13746-finally-i-have-clean-atomizer*html www_e-cigarette-forum_com/forum/experiments-equipment/10475-cola-method-taken-another-level-works*html etc.) I considered buying some 75% phosphoric acid (Nu-Calgon Ice Machine cleaner www_bflsupply_com/shopsite_sc/product4967*html ). At first glance, it sounds safe (i.e. britishsoftdrinks_com/Default.aspx?page=410 and see link 2 below).
BUT, as many have warned, these ideas are experimental. When heated, phosphoric acid will produce a poisonous gas called phosphine (or phosphane, another name, see links 4, 5, 8) and if in contact with a metal, produces a metallic phosphate, a solid soluble in water, another poisonous toxin (see links 3, 5, 6, 7).
My conclusion is that a double, boiling water rinse procedure is important. The first boil may leave nickel phosphate on the atomizer coil and release a small amount of the highly poisonous gas, phosphine. The second boil should remove the remainder of the nickel phosphate from the heating element.
If this is not done, (I don't really know but maybe) death could occur. These byproducts are deadly, used in rat poison and fumigators (see link 1).
