What's YOUR technique for cleaning Dripping Atomizers?

[lightandmind]

"Cause there's always room for improvement!

My technique: I'm generally opposed to dry burning, (I've lost too many attys doing this, even at lower heat), so instead I'll "vape" the juice out on a VW device by taking draws at lower & lower wattages until most of the juice has been removed. Then, it's a Vodka shake & soak, (sometimes I'll blow a little Vodka through the connector-end with my mouth), for around 24 hours, followed by air-drying for 4-6 hours on toilet paper in front of a fan. It works good-enough, but I'm always looking for better & faster techniques!

It's a 7 step process.

Step 1. Pull cotton wick
Step 2. Rinse off
Step 3. Put it in the ultra sonic cleaner for 30 minutes
Step 4. Dry off
Step 5 Add a new fresh cotton wick
Step 6. drip fresh juice on my new wick
Step 6. Vape
Step 7. Smile

Step 1. Throw away dirty dripper

For RDAs I:
1. Take cap off and rinse
2. Pull wicks out and dry burn coils (only if I'm keeping them on)
3. Rinse deck off and dry
4. Rewick (also put on new coils if switching coils)
5. Soak with liquid until it's almost flooded
6. Pulse a couple times to get rid of the initial cotton flavor
7. Vape!

Yep. Some juices linger for a while so I add the rinse in there just to get any old juice off.
