Just a quick question I have a vision ego v2 that i bought a couple weeks ago, i kept filling it up and eventually it just didnt seem so good So i started to use boge's which i thought were great, but i found a pain to keep refilling when at the pub etc ( especially after a few shirbets lol ) Today i saw a vid on utube and they cleaned out the vision just with water. Well i tried it earlier and it seems great again, so my question is... How many times can i reclean it, and how often should it be done Or of course should i not be cleaning it at all As always Thanks guys

Matt when i have moved (this weekend) i will invite you round and let you have a crack at rewicking it if you want to
cleaning is no problem make sure all is dry after you rinse them in warm water pop the drip tip off and using tweezers (nick them off the missus) just pull the metal air hole and plastic cover off then rinse away. allow to dry and then do a dry burn (4/5 seconds 4/5times till you see the coil glow nice and red again) then re-assemble

I just take the mouth piece (drip tip) off, squirt water into it via a bottle and needle, did this 3 or 4 times, shake well when emptying. After a quick blast with the hot air (I have a mini hot gun, dries things quick), and a dry burn, it's worked a treat, big difference between the V2's and V3's I think, yet both are long wick. I've read people have kept these V2's going for 2 or 3 months just by using this method.

Do get yourself a V3 rebuildable, massive difference, especially in air draw, also to clean is a doddle - Now mine don't leak, I think they're great
