right or wrong

[River]

to clean my atomisers (ego-t)
i decided to try boiling them in hot water
i got a pan of hot water boiling and chucked an atomiser in for approx 1 minute
then stood it up in the pan for 1 minute
took it out ,run it under cold water tap
gave it a good blow out
connected it back up and hey presto works like a dream
should i have done it this way

[camperman]

nowt wrong with that although i tend to boil the kettle and pour the water into a bowl with the attie leave it stand for a few minutes then run it under a warm tap blow through then dry it off and leave it dry for a while.

Ian is our champion boiler, he's revived loads of cartos that way - whereas I'm a dismal failure - wouldn't you know?

I think I'll give this a try with the 3 Tank atties I've got, thanks for the tip.

I was going to chuck them in the bin as I've not had a decent vape off any of em lol, so got nowt to lose a suppose.

let us know how you get on buck

I boil my old cartos for my mini kit. Works a treat, although mine get boiled for a little longer, cooled, and then boiled again.

It does indeed work a treat with cartomisers.Some of mine are 6 months old and still going strong after countless boiling sessions Ive done it with tank attys also and they worked better than new after boiling.I use the same method as Bluecow for my cartos,works amazingly well and saves you a few quid to.

Done the clean on me 3 tank atties last night, been trying them out today. Hopeless.
2 of them were brand new, not even 3 days use. They were crap before the clean, and still crap after lol.
So that's 5 tank atties I've 'experienced'..
A definite contender for the worst atties I've ever tried.
Complete waste of money.

ive boiled all 3 of mine now touch wood perfect

I had a go at boiling one tank atty at the end of it's life . . . lasted me best part of 3 months work usage, so I had my pennies worth from it . . . boiling didn't do anything, but I may have been a bit impatient and not let it dry out fully.

I can't believe you've had such wretched bad luck with Tanks Buck, I've just tried a Ego-T this week and love it, much better draw I'm finding than the TT.

[buckowski]

Aye, just have to bite the bullet, shame as I so wanted them to be even half decent, but not to be. Binned them all now. Happy to do so, good riddance hehe.

Yet, I can't take to carto's and confess I'm not hugely enamored with the clearo's, other than in the Map Tank Buck . . . so I guess we're lucky to have so many options to suit us all.

Mind you, we do share a common Silver Bullet lurve.

Hmmph! I boiled my cartos and they still didn't work

[Perpetua]

O dear.

Perhaps I should have removed the batteries first???

Only joking of course - they wouldn't fit in the saucepan
