benjamin1990 Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 i have seen alot of questions about cleaning and when to clean atomizers and cartomizers. so i thought i would help. Rorie and Schizophretard 2
Jolly Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 good vid if they are really gunked up you can put them in 1 cup water and 1 of vinegar, boil it for about 5 mins. clean them off under regular tap water, then 2 cups water boiling for 5 mins. dry and set them somewhere. vinegar has 3% acid that will break down the crust.
Stirfry Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 i used to do everclear. until i ran out. now, to be honest, i get them clean like new with just boiling water. if they don't get clean i just do it again or leave them soak.
benjamin1990 Posted July 10, 2010 Author Posted July 10, 2010 yah i boil them too. but i was trying to make this video for new people on an easy way to clean them.
Bigjim Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 I actually tried the vinegar thing today. I have five atty's that, no matter what I do, just taste really bad. They're drying out now, hopefully by morning I'll have some normal tasting vapor again. Thx for the tips!
Uma Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Thanks for the tips, especially for the cartomisers. There might be hope for mine yet. Sweet!
Ray Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 i have seen alot of questions about cleaning and when to clean atomizers and cartomizers. so i thought i would help. Very nice vid Ben. Just wish I could say WEEKS when talking about attys. For me it's only DAYS I know, keep em wet and don't dry burn. Use only JOYE 510's. I've tried everything. Maybe I just vape too much. I vape more than I used to smoke. Oh well, that's just me. Good job.

Good job. i vape like crazy! lol and attys and cartomizers last forever! lol
Popsicle Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 i vape like crazy! lol and attys and cartomizers last forever! lol I'm with you. Honestly, I have not yet had an atomizer legitimately die on me yet. The dead ones I have, I effed them up somehow. P.S.- Your hair grows fast.
DAYVAPE Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 yah i know my hair grows like crazy!!! VG side effect... you didn't know that?? You might want to check your "other places"... cuz I bet you might want to do some cleanin' up!
BEERCITYVAPRZ Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 Good tip im going to try that, Ive been using the keyboard cleaner AIR in a can, and when they get nasty I boil them...thanx again for showing me this forum!!!!
benjamin1990 Posted August 8, 2010 Author Posted August 8, 2010 hey your welcome. i try to tell everyone about this forum because it is so helpfull and alot of nice people here.
Schizophretard Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 I like the cleaning out with juice bottle idea.
benjamin1990 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Posted August 9, 2010 yah and it works really well. when i get finished i can look in the sink and see all the nasty dirty stuff in there.
Lily Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Hi, I watched this video in the early days, but I didn't really pay a lot of attention. Then when I posted a couple of days ago that my attys are tasting funky you suggested I look at this video. My attys are piling up and I am going to try to refurbish some of them. Thanks for doing the video. Signed, slow on the uptake!
ryeis1 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I'm glad I watched this vid because I was just kicking myself for not ordering more atties when I ordered my pv!
bugsman Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I should have come here first before I asked my question back in the noobie section. Great help - thanks much for posting it. I'll remember it when it's time to clean them up.
Angel Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 i boil them then dump out the water and rinse and boil again for 15 min. i do this 3 times and have gotten out even the nastiest juice lol. then i have hubby blow the water out with the air compressor and let them sit over night.
profbeard Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 I must confess that I haven't cleaned an atty or carto ( except for my Bulli repairable atty) in over two years. I just use 'em and bin 'em. The reason being that when I first started vaping I tried cleaning and, whilst it did indeed result in clean things, it had no impact on atty life ( as measured in mls of juice put through them rather than time).
harrymudd Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Your trick worked! By golly it saved me a lot of hassle. I had a sauce pan I was going to throw away not to mention three atomizers. Now I tried two of them and they are as good a new! Thanks. I owe you one for saving me a lot of hassle.
