joker23 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 What is the best and safest way to clean my eGo-T tank atomizer? I've heard of boiling it, but that doesn't sound like it would be good for the Atomizer Thanks! P.S, when I first get my atomizer, and want to blow out the primer, which end do I blow into? just ordered my eGo-T and I'm pretty excited!

Beans Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Don't worry over cleaning your Atty. Just blowing it out is quite adequate most of the time. you can always use alcohol and shake it in side if it is really needed. I always blow through the threaded side, but I think either way is fine. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker23 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Blow into the battery connection end? Or tha tank end? Sorry if thats a stupid question just want to get everything right PS. this might be another stupid question, but does that mean that boiling is out of the question?

Beans Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Not a stupid question. Blow through the battery end. As for boiling, it's not a bad thing. It just isnt always necessary, unless it's just getting clogged or there is a really bad flavor you want out. But with regular care,blowing them out at night and letting drain T side down and always keep battery end cleaned you shouldn't need to go through the process very often.

Sharon Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Joker. From personal experience, boiling your eGo Tank atty will cause the rubber coating to peal off. No damage to the actual atty, it just will be silver instead of color (if it is anything but silver to start out with). I think Vicki at CigNot has the best Video on cleaning the eGo Tank atty. Hope this helps you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Joker, I'm glad you asked that question about cleaning the stomizer, I was wondering about it too. I just got my ego-t kit yesterday. I really like it! After I blew out the new attys I worked the corner of a paper towel into the atty and let the towel sop up any primer left in it. I hope you enjoy your ego-t as much as I'm enjoying mine!

iloozyun Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 with my ego attys i found that when they were starting to die- didn't heat up, hard to pull, bad taste, whatever- i had nothing to lose by trying to save them, if possible, before tossing them. i first soaked in vinegar overnight, then boiled them awhile, then stood them batt-side up in the little fry pan i was using to boil them in & turned the fire all the way down to lowest for like 3-5 minutes, then turned the fire off & left them there till cool. i had read about air-drying them out for 24-48 hours but what the heck, they're made of metal & they're made to heat up so i tried this. it worked like a charm- attys that i had literally held over the trash can were working again, and i found this out in 5 minutes instead of 2 days of waiting for them to dry out. plan to try it on my tank attys when one dies, should work just as well. (metal only of course!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icingdeth Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Also look up ultrasonic cleaning as an option, I have had atty's that were horrible brought back from the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(metal only of course!!) Wait, so you just left them on the stove to heat dry? Or just used them while they were wet? I've been using mine awhile now, and I'm starting to experience some of the same problems as you Edited June 8, 2011 by joker23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
