How often do I have to clean the atomizer? Once a week/month/2months/etc?

Well it depends... I'm a very heavy vaper and I clean mine about once a week. You'll know it's time for a good cleaning when your vapor production & performance starts dropping off. This forum link covers how to clean them - I use the Crest pro health method that Arclight describes in the 3rd post - it works perfectly!

Good luck & don't be afraid to ask questions, we're all here to help each other! :mrgreen:

Once a week seems to be the norm for most people. I usually go 1 - 2 weeks, depending on how much I'm vaping as well. But as Jaxx said, it's all a matter of how much you vape and when performance starts to drop.

Depends, but usually I only do mine when vapor production drops off, when funky residue is present, when flavor I don't like is stuck in it.... :D so far it works for me :D

1-2 weeks, but I have 4 main attys that I use so mine are getting a rotation workout, when you start using/buying juice you will notice that some are thicker and clog the atty faster. Trust me you will know, you will be semi-blue and not much smoke. I clean the threads when I notice this (usually with my shirt coz I'm on the go) if that doesn't improve the performance to my satisfaction when I get home that atty gets a bath, FYI-a flooded atty will also give you really bad performance...you can kind of hear a slight gurgle. Stop, take it apart and blow up threw the threads, wipe all the threads, atty and the inside of the battery out, and try to vape it out holding the unit straight, not angled down because more juice will continue to flow to the atty when holding it down. When you get a chance set it upside down to let some of the juice flow out.
