Denture Cleaning Tablets are supposed to be quite good for cleaning atomiser's Judgey . . . have to be honest, I don't bother cleaning mine, the odd blow through if they're a bit juiced up and that's about it. Once they've deaded, the only place for them is the bin . . . or to a modder to cannibalize.  |

Isopropyl alcohol is for topical use only. Since you are inhaling whatever is in your atomizer and residue from the alcohol may well be in your atomizer, I don't think it's a good idea to use it, I don't. There are a number of ways to clean atomizers, some use vodka, others soak them in water, some even boil them. E-juice is water soluble, so just soaking them in water will clean them.

dont use Isopropyl as its harmful if inhaled as peeps have advised above there are a number of ways to clean an atty but i personally havent found one thats effective yet... i may actually dissect some of my old attys and see what does the best job of breaking down the cack ...maybe coke will work  |

I dont bother really anymore to clean, not seen any benefit, just bin them but I will swish under a tap something like a vision now and then

Depends how much you vape and what juices you use Judgey as some can cause atomiser failure quicker than others. I've had atomisers last for 6 months and others that have barely lasted a day, there's no hard and fast really. |

Imists seem to be pretty hardy and the coil could well last months with some careful cleaning, I gently scraped the cack off the coil with a watchmakers screwdriver and it vaped great after that. Sweet juices tend to cake up the coils quickly (I guess its the sugars carbonising on the coil). |

Judgey, I did this 510 atomiser cleaning tutorial a while ago - might help you. www.vapemeup.com/2011/10/my-510-atty-set-up-routine.html A bit of dissection involved but this is the only real way I managed to keep expensive atties going for more than a few days. On the other hand you could just switch to cartos-I find they're a lot less work! Dan |
