Cleaning a new tank assistance

[FeralCatTamer]

I have a new tank I just bought and need to clean it. Only problem is no running water due to a busted pipe that won't be fixed until Monday.
Normally I would just wait, but it came with a mod that I'm debating on buying just a second mod or the set again because loving the mod. So I want to try this tank before they sell out of the color I like.
Now, while no running water out of pipes we do have plenty of the big water jugs for our water cooler that puts out hot and cold water but I can't run the water over the pieces out of it because it has no drain and trying to keep a container to catch water there while pressing the button for water plus holding the tank will not end well for me. I can take a cup of water and pour over but it won't have the normal faucet pressure so not sure if it will be enough. No water bottles with the tops on there I could squeeze the water out of there either.
I do normally soak my tanks in diluted rubbing alcohol as well and that I can still do.
Any thoughts or suggestions on the best way to clean this new tank with my water limitation?

in my 3 years of vaping i can tell you i never cleaned a freshly opened tank, i always checked for residue but that's about it, generally always started building on them whenever i got them. Never got sick or vaped oil.

You're lucky, had the machine oil happen when I first started vaping and didn't know machine oil could be a problem. Worse than a dry hit.

I would not clean with rubbing alcohol period, diluted or otherwise. Maybe Vodka. I do clean mine sometimes, sometimes I forget. I have forgotten and can taste some type of something. In your situation I would swish it around in a cup of water with like 1 drop of soap. Swish it around in another cup of water to rinse it.

In this modern world I really really do think we overthink things a bit much ... but then again I was a kid in the 1950s who spent a lot of time on hill country farms where in the early days the toilet was a dry one outdoors ... and I accept this might colour my thinking.

Were it me, I'd pour a very large Scotch into a bowl, dunk the blessed thing in it for a bit, leave it there for maybe a quarter of an hour, give the ouside of it a bit of a wipe, load it up and vape it.

As to the whisky it had been soaked in - I'd add water to taste and drink it while vaping the device.

I'll give it a go. Thank you.

Welcome and glad you joined.

Just put it in hot water, no need to waste whiskey or vodka, give it a soak and dry and you will be good to go, I don't bother unless I can see machine oil residue and my other tanks just get a bath if they look gunked up,but yeah I do agree with using vodka ect on a new tank if it shows any residue but I'm averse to wasting good spirits Haha

If you are more concerned about your alcohol than your water (otherwise I'd say a vodka soak and a dryout wipe down as best you can) well, tiny bit of hot water and dawn soak, followed by water rinse we aren't building a DAM here or anything I think you can still get this done.

Welcome.
