[keelalagirl55]

random late night lurking, Sorry if it causes a disruption.

I know its old but has anyone tried a Ultrasonic cleaner?

I just got one over the weekend and it does make a difference. I think however I might skip the water rinsing. I just can't seem to get them to dry once water gets in them, even with up to a 30 minute bake in the oven.

 

[timrichard]

Are you going to just use the vodka? I usually reverse spin the water out when I clean them. I just picked up the cleaner today, and I am trying it out as we speak.

 

[timrichard]

I use one religiously and it makes a huge difference, Im still a little nervous about OVER use of it but it works great for me

And yeah you cant beat a good throwback

Atari
what do you use with yours(water, vodka, both)

 

[lujin4]

Yes, you must reverse spin the water out then go to the oven. If you let them "air dry" it will depend on the ambient humidity as to how long it will take them to dry.

I give up, what's an ultra sonic cleaner?

I give up, what's an ultra sonic cleaner?

An ultrasonic cleaner, sometimes called a sonicator, is a cleaning device that uses ultrasound (usually from 20–400 kHz) and an appropriate cleaning solvent (sometimes ordinary tap water) to clean delicate items. The ultrasound can be used with only water but solvent is advised; it enhances the effect of a solvent appropriate for the item to be cleaned and the soiling.

Ultrasonic cleaners are often used to clean jewellery, lenses and other optical parts, watches, dental and surgical instruments, fountain pens, industrial parts and electronic equipment. They are used in many jewellery workshops, watchmakers' establishments, and electronic repair workshops

I got mine at Harbor freight for 29 bucks.

I try to spin out the water, but it just doesn't seem to work. Does anyone see any harm in just a vodka soak in the ultrasonic, then a blow out with the baster and to the oven? The ultra sonic was great, but the fill and vape was terrible. Unless loosing 50% of them is common? I did about 30 last time round.

You don't have to get them real dry, a little moisture will not hurt the cart or juice. I always reverse spin and fill.

I wouldn't vape it unless it got washed out afterwards...but hey if you wanna try it..cool. Let me know if it screwed up your lungs or not..I'm curious.

zombie thread again ( 2009) ugh

 

[SnowDragon]

Hmmm is it just me...or am I detecting a not-so-well hidden message here?

My humble two cents...Atari, You disrupt NOTHING. Too many rules and regulations, what to post, when not to post, what thread to post in, who banter with, who not to be friends with, etc, etc, etc. The only rule is to be nice and respectful of others. Forums are supposed to be fun and I for one think the V4L forum is fun! The posting police need to go get a donut. Post on and vape on! These threads, though old are educational for some of us.

Amen to that...Get a Donut n Chill !

Who are the Posting Police? What does that mean? Do they get a uniform? Are the donuts free or does one have to be a member of the Posting Police to get them? Is overseeing the Post Police a self-appointed or elected position and does it require a minimum 30 days of forum membership?

You wanna see a cool post, check this rotted corpse out which has recently been resurrected and is currently living on Page 1 of the forum:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vapor4life/55769-popping-off-white-mouthpieces.html

Now you'll know how to remove a 2 piece hard cap that was discontinued over a year ago...sweet huh? Amen to that

If one points out that a post has been unearthed from the cyber grave after close to 2 years...are they now officially part of the Post Police? Can somebody please explain any of this?

Seems like you inference isn't nice at all but hurtful and certainly not very respectful either. Hurtful comments, unlike noting the rebirth of an old post are a very real violation of the forum rules. I have never witnessed any of these forum members indulge in any of the acts you have inferred to in your reply.

If I were Maxwell, Morandir, Keelalagirl, and Waylonjeesi4ever I would find your comments derogatory and inflammatory in nature. Especially since the parties involved only noted that the post was simply resurrected yet all your added non-related inferences seem like an attack of a completely different nature.

In my humble opinion it would appear you are violating the very rules that protect the forums as a fun place by directing fictitious and reckless accusations at others. I don't believe any of these people let alone anyone period dictate what, when, where, with who, or how anybody Posts or Replies.

Snow sir on behalf of the posting police you are hereby informed.... Wait a second, no badge, no free donuts, a lack of respect for authority, ummm.... I don't think I'm one sir....

I have no idea, but I thought it was funny yup, I did

Update: Sorry Maxwell......Vaping a carto that has soaked in Vodka without without thoroughly rinsing it out with water first. Not just for taste reasons but for health reasons.

Wow... I am sorry if I read this wrong but it seems kinda mean spirited. I apologize if the question bothered you enough to post the equivalent of "well if your that stupid go ahead and let me know if it kills you".

I don't know if I just don't get it sometimes and whether it's sarcasm in jest or your really fed up with questions.

Thanks for all your past help. I will try in the future not to post stupid questions.
