I read in your other post that you didn't like the Terra. I also did not like the Terra until I got a different battery. I think I've said it 4 times in this thread and I probably beating a dead horse, but try a box mod/VW battery with the Orb.
The terra can take a lot more juice than the...
If the residue is rosiny and black, you can burn it off by turning the temperature all the way up or you can clean it off by dunking it in 99% ISO. Might need a couple of rinses.
The actual heating element should be able to be cleaned to near white using just the heating method. Typically I...
Two ways.
1) Get a 30W+ battery and turn it up to 22-25W. Hit the sucker a couple of times and it will start to glow. You can smoke what comes off of it but it will be pretty hot - eventually you will burn off everything on the ceramic donut.

I was disappointed in Source products as well, until I decided to get a different battery. The one they sell with their kit is nowhere near powerful enough to take full advantage of the Terra ( although it does very well with double coils ).
Furthermore a box mod , as opposed to a pen...
Honestly I had similar problems and decided to check out a few other batteries before ruling the atomizers out. As it turns out, I think the battery is usually the real problem. I got a iStick 30W ( with adapter ) and now all of them connect and work well.
I'm kind of curious as to what...
