I know this thread is old, but I found it as a brand new vaper. I haven't been at it long, but my atty's still taste and work perfectly and I just wanted to send you a thank you.
My husband and I currently have 1 extra atty each in rotation, so 4 total. I will clean the used atty's each night using this method and let them dry while using the other ones the next day then clean those, and the first ones are dry and ready to use. If, for some reason, I get out of sync doing this and need an atty straight away I'll use the dry burn method after very thoroughly blowing it out to get any extra alcohol and sometimes even doing a warm/hot water rinse first.
