Cleaning Everything Syringes,bottles

[cesctheman]

Hi how does everyone clean there mixing stuff.
Syringes, needles, bottles,cartamisers. How to get strong flavours out of bottles & tanks or cartamisers.
I know everyone uses vodka for everything but doesn't it reek of vodka then.
Share your tips please

I generally do a hot wash with regular old dawn. Not the scented or extra strength, just original. With bottles and protank heads I rinse them out with hot water and let them sit overnight in a denture tab solution. The one that sanitizes. No issues with smells or flavors leaching over.

Syringes I have one for each flavor, bottles I only use glass which I rinse then run them thru the dishwasher and then rinse again. I don't use carto's but my atomizers I rinse then soak in vodka and then let them air dry.

Vodka dries out completely and do not leave any smell at all.

I use pure grain alcohol to clean everything crisp and clean...but I know not everyone has access to it. You could try a baking soda bath if you have a stubborn one...as long as it could be rinsed out well. I dont know about a cartomiser though.

Dawn, hot soapy water, rinse. Repeat. Rinse very well with Distilled water. Seems to rid everything of color & smell really.

Ultrasonic Cleaner. Three 3 minute cycles with a few drops (really a few drops only dont want massive suds) does the trick wonderfully. I use it with attys, syringes, some electronic components (with distilled water), watches, jewelry... I'd shower in one if I could.

What syringes does everyone use,
I'm having trouble with the markings rubbing off.
Are glass syringes better, if I soak them will the markings rub off.
Do u just use 1 syringe for each flavor and just rinse them out.
Help please....
Glass syringes are more expensive but they would be worth it if it helps....advice pls...

I just use regular 3 ml syringes. I have a big 10ml syringe with a regular plastic tip that I got from a pharmacist at Walgreens. A piece of scotch tape over the numbers is all you need. Or if you want to get fancy, a layer of clear nail polish over them will seal them up even better!

As far as cleaning goes... meh. When I mix I have a cup of super hot water next to all my supplies. When I draw up a flavor and squirt it in the bottle I put the syringe in the cup and draw water in and out 3 or 4 times. Never had any flavoring contamination as of yet.

I do have a separate syringe for Anise flavoring though. You can't wash that smell out of a syringe! LOL!

I use hot water mostly. A cup of distilled water heated in microwave and a syringe to squirt it in what I am cleaning. I soak gunked up coils in moonshine overnight then let dry for a day. A couple of flavors are hard to remove from wick and such. Vanilla being one and tobacco being another. I have heard that anise and liquorice are as well but do not know personally since I cannot imagine vaping them

I also sometimes put the cup of heated distilled water in a insulated coffee cup, drop the parts to be cleaned in, put the lid on and let them soak for an hour or so. Remove them after the water has cooled, flush with water in syringe and let dry for a day in the sun on the windowsill.

I have esmart and T4 clearos that I have used for over 8 weeks and still going strong using these cleaning methods.

All I've ever used to clean my gear is hot water. Its worked just fine for me all this time.
I'm having a big issue with my 1ml syringes having the markings wear off so I'm careful how I hold the syringe and not soaking it in water. I get my syringes and needles from my local vet, they have a ample supply of 1-60ml syringes. I'm also looking into getting a glass 1ml since I've worn the markings off several plastic syringes. I've found several eBay vendors (china) that sell the glass syringes so I'm going to get a variety of sizes, they should be here in bout 2 weeks.
