I had trouble finding the thread but here's a little info.
Instead of going through all that work just take the tank off and vape in 3 second bursts every 5-10 seconds until all the juice in the atty is gone and vapor stops, don't inhale as this burning vapor tastes bad. Then you've completed a dry burn and it will vape great again. No need to remove the spike plate or any other special routine. Re prime and filler er up!
Cleaning any way other than just blowing through will void your warranty.
