Still laughing about the wish list unit, and the cat. U make a good point, "when I first get them" initial use. And "change e-liquids". "dry firing and rinse". Wow. Exactly what I did last run. Thanks for the input. Gr8 "intel".........lol.

Wonder if its gentler on a coil ...dif...heat source. Saw, or read something on this. Pre-burning of course. Of some sort. Your right on.
Yes. Cool of you to notice I bothered to mention that bit. Thought Id have some fun. Im new to building. DIY vape, and read somewhere, alcohol cleans the coils good. So I had some 50% and some 91% alcohol. Having fun here. In this forum also. I continued on with the 91% alcohol. As quickly as I could. Just to see what would happen. As I said earlier. It "lit". But also on my behalf. 91% alcohol evaporates and burns so rapidly. Its really not dangerous. Like the "circus flame blower"...that's what we should call this thread...lol.....
Well, I don't know what tank you're building on (apologies if I just missed it earlier in the thread) but do remember your build deck is more than just metal. There usually is a PEEK insulator in there, which while resistant to heat, isn't super resistant to flame. Melt that and buy another tank, as it's tough to source replacements of those with some tanks.
Not sure about what you are up to with that alcohol? I only use ISO when I want the unit to dry quickly. As far as I know alcohol will only kill germs and absorb water and has little use for actual cleaning. Juice is water soluble so rinsing is normally sufficient when say changing juice. If you've had any dry hits then you may find that there is soot left in your chimney and a tooth brush is too big to get in there, a paper towel will do. A bit of dish soap is good for most cleaning jobs. I label my attys otherwise I forget what flavor I've got in them and I use a bit of cooking oil to remove the gum from the atty's glass and then dish soap to remove the oil.
A short time exposed to alcohol will not hurt your o rings but silicone will happily absorb many chemicals if given time to do so. So wipe the alcohol off the rings if it gets on them and make sure you re-lube them again.

I just dug an old technical pen ultrasonic cleaner out of my closet,it works great,you gotta be careful with any parts that have chipped paint as it tends to increase the missing paint.
I used to do the once a week hot water in the kitchen sink before I dug out the ultrasonic cleaner.
Literally the ONLY tool needed for all your vaping needs! It cleans, its a screwdriver, its an allen key, it can be used as a mod....Definitely need the authentic as the clones just dont compare!
good point, silicone O-rings are great for sealing our attys, and need to be re-lubed before putting them away once cleaned with alcohol...think Ill just stay away from alcohol, one of the reasons I mentioned it in this thread was to see what you all thought about using alcohol...Im now convinced, alcohol is not needed to clean our hardware...water works fine...thanks to all that chimed in on that alcohol use...no more DUIs for me
never seen one...what is it called?

I finally got the joke here....good one gentlemanThats funny...maybe you shouldn't be using a steel toothbrush
I owned a Harley so I know all about Chinese chrome and its lasting qualities.
Fasttech has small brushes that work great.
I treat all new hardware to an ultrasonic cleaning with a drop or two of mild dish soap, also when switching flavors I'll rinse the tanks out and dry burn or replace the coil. Eskie has a point, be careful with your peek insulators they're heat resistant but flame will destroy them.
That's pretty much all I do, mods I'll wash with soapy water when needed to get juice off and dry after.
