By the time you’re through these rapid fire bullet points, you’ll have the keys to atomizer success required to get the most out of your atomizers and never again get annoyed when your dabbing dreams are put on hold due to a broken component.

What Are Atomizers?

For all of our newbies out there, atomizers are the specific vaporizer component which houses your concentrates and receives the heat from your battery. This makes atomizers essentially the beating heart of your vaporizer as they are the vessels that allow your battery to create clouds.

There are many different types of atomizers out there, with most being brand specific such as those with Puffco, Dr. Dabber, Focus V, and Lookah - just to name a few. With different features and specificities, there exists an atomizer to cater to every palette.

Without an atomizer you are out of luck, which is why it’s such a pain when they do end up kicking the bucket on you. While atomizers are replaceable, the inconvenience of having to spend more of your hard earned money and the abrupt cessation of your clouds is a nightmare.

How To Get More Out Of Your Atomizer

Take a look below to see some of our top tips on how to avoid your atomizer breaking and never let these bad situations have the chance to start! These tips include a mixture of cleaning and practical steps that if you follow, will lead to much longer life spans from your atomizer and save you money to spend on more concentrates!

Clean Your Atomizer After Every Dab

First and foremost the most important step to keeping your atomizer working longer is to clean the inside out with a q-tip or daw swab after every single time you take a dab. This is without a doubt the most effective and noticeable method of increasing atomizer lifespan hands down.

Leaving your atomizer dirty, reloading it, and continuing to rip it will very quickly lead to chazzed atomizers, as the left over materials continue to get super heated over and over again to the point they are stuck there permanently.

When you clean after every dab, you’re ensuring that no materials have the chance to start building up like this and getting rid of the issue before it can lead to your atomizer breaking on you.

While initially swabbing your atomizer may seem like a pain compared to traditional bowls, which can be endlessly packed and repacked, but once you get the hang of it you won’t want to be dabbing any other way.

Plus - when you keep your atomizer clean you’re getting the best, most pure flavors available from your concentrates without any older materials lingering around and tainting your overall experience.

Since this means you are going to be cleaning quite a lot, getting a multipack like the Wulf Mods Cotton Dab Swab 300pk is the best way to ensure you always have a swab on deck and are saving money at the same time.

Clean Your Atomizer Promptly

Going hand in hand with cleaning after every day, we have the other point which is you should make sure to clean your atomizer promptly after your dab. Always wait a moment for your chamber to cool off first as you don’t want to burn your swab and cause more issues.

Once you have waited for the chamber to reach a cooler temperature, you can then utilize a q-tip to promptly remove the leftover concentrates when they are still soft and able to be quickly absorbed.

Try using a swirling motion while running the swab around your atomizer, as this utilizes 100% of the surface area to get as much material removed with each individual swab. Some harder to reach places may take a second pass to get the fully clean effect we are after.

If you do happen to take too long and your atomizer has tough to remove build up that swabs aren’t making a dent in, then take a look at our next point about isopropyl alcohol.

Use Isopropyl Alcohol To Deep Clean Your Atomizer

When all else fails, you are going to have to break out the big guns which in our case is isopropyl alcohol - available in a myriad of different options like swabs and even dedicated unique formulas that take things even further.

Check out the Wulf Mods Wipes Alcohol Cleaning Wipe 100pk, these individually packaged wipes are loaded with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution, that can be perfect for removing the harder to reach stains that have built up.

Another option is the Bong Aid 16oz Glass Cleaner, a handy bottle of 99% isopropyl that allows for spot washing and removal of large stains with ultra strength for the most effortless of stain removals.

No matter what type of isopropyl alcohol product you choose, using these products is going to keep your atomizer clean and ready to function with ease.

Avoid Over Doing It On Your Atomizer

For a last parting tip, we wanted to remind you that while it is fun to rip back to back dabs at the highest settings, doing this over time can cause undue stress upon your atomizer and gradually degrade its capabilities if you don’t follow proper cleaning supplies.

That’s why we always recommend not going too hard on your atomizer, always giving it moments to cool and thoroughly cleaning it after each of your hits in order prevent the higher temperatures from leading to issues.

This doesn’t mean you need to shy away from the higher settings, it just means you need to be responsible and make sure that your atomizer isn’t over heating from prolonged usage. Thus you can keep enjoying your heavy hits, but in a more sustainable atomizer friendly manner.

Enjoy More From Your Atomizers

Time for you to use these simple tips to start getting more out of your atomizer and for your sessions to roll on with an unparalleled level of smoothness! Above all else - always remember to clean your atomizer after every hit to ensure the best flavors, potency, and lifespan!
