| Awesome videographer RatInDaHat clued me in on using a black light to see the stray fibers left in the atomizer (from the cart). It works perfectly - they glow brightly, you can't miss 'em. The bad news? At least in my well-used atomizers, some of the fibers have already fused to the steel wool bridge, so now I can see them but I can't get them out. Adds a little trepidation to my already trepidatious new habit.I purchased a portable battery operated 6-inch fluorescent, looking like this.... The light is quite weak and I plan to purchase either a better bulb or a different black light: UPDATE: Bigger lights aren't better, this one works properly. ![]() Rat has an LED black light keychain like this, which seems to work for him: ![]() Last edited by jamie; 07-17-2008 at 11:52 AM. |

| Funny stuff. Whatever you do, Jamie, do NOT shine that black light on your kitchen countertop or bathroom floor! If you do, you will be changed forever. Also do not look at yourself in a mirror while illuminated by UV light. I love UV experiences ... |

| Hehehe. You're correct, but years too late to save me. Went through all the rooms with a large black light... wanted to sell the house immediately. ![]() |

| After a week using a black light it's become a required paraphernalia for my esmoking with carts. Prior to the black light purchases I used a variety of small focused lights and magnifying lenses to find fibers in the atomizer. I can't overstate how useless those tools turned out to be as compared to a black light. Fibers in the atomizer are responsible for 90%+ of my burning tastes and odors. I didn't know that before, because I couldn't see many of the fibers with my other tools - although I thought I could! Nearly every puff deposits fibers into the atomizer, both with my DSE901 Minis and my Penstyles. It's distressing to know that I'm nearly always smoking fiber particles. The black light helps to minimize this a great deal - WHEN there is time to use it. The portable battery operated 6-inch fluorescent is better than nothing. It's a cheap product (we've heard that before!) and the light dims fairly quickly. It eats batteries so I finally changed to digital camera labeled batteries. Now I've ordered a high intensity LED penlight that I expect will work better. I've had their white penlight and it's my favorite flashlight ever. ![]() There are also many small 3 or 5 or 12 LED black UV lights available, the one Rat has and similar. |

| Dude! Those lights are too cool. As if I needed another way to drop some cash, I ordered one from Amazon yesterday, and they delivered it today. Wow, warp speed. I've already tried to smoke it about a dozen times. Looks just like my black penstyle if I'm not paying close attention. smilesmoking.gif Now that I can see every little fiber in the atomizer, I seem to need a third hand.....one to hold the atomizer, one to shine the light, and one for some tweezers. Am I just retarded, or how do you do this??? ![]() |

| Search for "helping hand" on ebay maybe be just what your looking for.. Out on interest, what happends when you shine UV in bathroom, kitchen and especially the mirror, I tempted to buy on just to find out. Last edited by 20ADAY; 07-24-2008 at 02:05 AM. |

| Okay guys, if you are going to tell him - lets keep it nice - I don't want to have to delete posts again ![]() However, back on topic, I would like to have one of those lights myself, just to see if I do keep my atomizer clean enough. |

So far I haven't seen anything too gross in the kitchen and bathroom, but I'm not sure what to be looking for. Creepie crawlies, I presume??? ![]() It could be that the size of the light makes a difference. I didn't see anything in the mirror either. This is my first black light so I might be missing something. | |
