I have these or similar:
Black Friday Clearance Deal Pretty Comy Mini Ultrasonic Cleaner Jewelry Necklace Watch Rings Wave Cleaning Professional - Walmart.com

Ultrasonic Cleaner, Zmoon Professional Jewelry Polisher with Digital Timer [1-5 min | 600mL Stainless Steel Tank] for Eye Glasses, Watches, Earrings, Ring & More - Walmart.com

The cheap one works great but is smaller so won't hold as many tanks, coils etc at a time. The cheap one also tends to move around and won't stay stuck to the counter.

You often can find them at Goodwill.
Thanks, Rose. That small one looks like just the trick for me. I'm not worried that it won't hold much. I'm retired and have plenty of time to reload it. Does it require any sort of solution to clean coils and attys? I'm mainly interested in cleaning and re-using drop-in coils.

So do you use distilled water? I have tried rinsing cotton coils before but the cotton gets hard when it dries and the vape tastes nasty.

Maybe using PG instead of water in the ultrasonic might be better?

    I am sure you will get different opinions but this is what I do:
    I put half a capful of minty mouthwash in the water. I let them soak for awhile, then run the ultrasonic for 2 or 3 minutes. I check the coils, if they are still dark/yucky looking, I repeat. When they appear clean, I put clean water in and run that for a couple minutes. Then dry the coils. I make sure to prime them well and I have not had them get hard, they are like new. I think if coils are hardened, they aren't clean yet.

    Some juices are notoriously hard on coils as we know and those may not have good results even after the ultrasonic cleaning. Coffee vapes and any darker colored juices are worst, of course. Still worth a try, I always get at least a few more days out of the coils with a good cleaning.

    I will miss these little Kipo pods when they bite the dust, but glad I have them for their duration :)
    One of mine did quit on me but are good while they last. I think the Miso pro is probably better, looks like the Xros which I love. I will just use the Xros until all pods are gone. Not planning to try to even buy more. I have enough other stuff to use. I am still loving the .8 z coils.

    I don't use drop-ins so maybe they are too large, but when cleaning cartos we used to get the bulk of the juice out first by popping them into a syringe of the same diameter and forcing distilled water through them. Then go on with the ultrasonic cleaner.

    I have plenty of other things too, but these little pods are so handy :) I am using up the last of my Jam Monster juice in them, so savoring the experience LOL

    Just a heads up: with the the recent partial redesign of Fasttech.com, Fasttech is doing away with the word "authentic" in the title for authentic products. The way to know now if something is authentic or a clone is the use of the word "styled" or the lack of a manufacturer's name in the title.

    So "Joyetech XYZ Coil Head" would be authentic

    but

    XYZ Styled Coil Head
    or
    XYZ Coil Head
    would be a clone.

    Yeppers. Same way to decipher if an atomizer is sub-ohm/clearomizer/drop-in (or whatever new nomenclature they're using for premade coilheads) or rebuildable by the lack of RDA/RDTA/SRDA/RTA/RBA in the name.

    But they won't be restocking those shelves either. As I understand it, to get B2B USPS shipping takes jumping through a lot of hoops, a lot of non-digitized paperwork, and your first and second born children. Most B&Ms probably aren't aware they are selling illegal items and that there is now a shipping ban.
    I just ran to the vape shop. I bought a few pods and asked them about future availability. They don't seem to think there's going to be a problem.

    Just had a liter of nicotine delivered by USPS.. For the first time ever - my mailman knocked on the door and said I just needed to make sure someone is 21 or older to leave it here... Anyone else having this?

    I got a liter from Heartland a few weeks ago and think my wife had to sign for it.

    Silly! That was because I was at work.
    Thank goodness. It's not fair to require that vape supplies can only be bought by married people.

    Forcing marriage on vapers just so they can stay off the smokes is going a little too far IMO.

    Is that what we've become???!!!
    Yes, using LEDs to shine light on what we're imagining we're vaping. Or wait, are those thoughts considered grounds for needing ENDS approval? I mean by their official wording, anything having to do with vaping at all falls under the requirements. F'ing lawyers.
