Many ways being described around here.... Just to name a few

- boil some water, drop in, leave for a few min, rinse, dry, prime, vape
works pretty good
- drop into mouthwash for a few min, rinse, dry etc.
works very good but leaves an aftertaste (maybe not enough rinsing?)
- alcohol (vodka)....
- peroxide (scares me)
- cola (trying it as we speak....)

FWIW, Chris

gimme an update after the cola method............and how do i dry it???

 

[mrrunon]

i've just cleaned mine with water.. i may need to try and employ these other methods.

 

[mintee]

alcohol works fine, 5 minute swish and dry completely. I have no need in trying anything else...

Oh, and the coke could eat the paint off, fyi.

 

[MMAfighterNH]

will rubbing alchahol work? or like vodka???

 

[Sir Ruff]

I use everclear. Its 99 proof and its "safe" for ingestion. I dont drink the crap, I just use it to clean...pretty sad right. lol.

Coke also cleans car battery terminals but I've used it for a long time to clean my attys (followed by a water rinse and hair dryer) and while I wouldn't recommend any atty-bath for an extended period of time - for some reason it seems to be able to rid the atty of that annoying "cross flavoring" that occurs when you vape multiple flavors.

Not every flavor combo is appealing. vaping fruit flavors after menthol is the e-cig equivilant to drinking orange juice after brushing your teeth. It's about as tasty as frozen mustard on a stick.

I have used just isopropyl alcohol. soak for a couple of minutes rinse and let dry over night.
Works Great

to clean the flavor Vodka, 1 or 2 dollars for one once bottle,the higher the alcohol %the best and dries fast.

to remove some of the carbons the cola,water and vodka.

if you can get pure alcohol better than vodka.

but i'd rather a new atmy every 2 weeks or less after that time they only are good for raining time, I only clean to clean the flavor

Ive used rubbing alcohol before.
Worked pretty darn good.
I think it works better than the peroxide.
The peroxide works great, but it leaves an after taste.
When I do it, I burn it for about 20 secs. too.
Just hit the button, or use a vacum on an automatic.

These two methods work great.

I usually try to do it, at least every 2 weeks,
Using the hair dryer, works quicker.
BUt, its probably better to let it sit over nite.
Every nite. U should take off the atomizer, and let it dry, without cartridge attached to it.

I use Everclear, bought a couple of mini bottles just for that purpose. When they are dry I drip a drop of vg on the BE112 atty to prime because they have a metallic taste to me. I've killed one atty, also a BE112, when I blew it out with compressed air so I don't use compressed air now. I had previously dropped this same atty, it was bent but it still worked and because it was bent I could lay it down and it wouldn't roll off the table.

 

[mrrunon]

hm, i've put my atty away for over a month now.. it's probably been dried out. does it mean it's dead now or something?

 

[jlcanary]

I usually just blow mine out. I put the end that attaches to the battery in my mouth and blow the juice out into a paper towel. It gets all that extra juice out without getting the whole thing wet. Sometimes I let it sit overnight and drain onto a papertowel, but it doesn't work as well as blowing it out. I have used boiling water to clean one out before. It worked great the first time, but the second time it killed my atty and took the paint off. I probably left it in too long.
