It's glass.
Borosilicate glass to be exact.
Just like laboratory glassware.
Much stronger than modern Pyrex brand cookware( which today is just thick soda glass).

Clean it like you would any glass piece.

Rubbing alcohol will remove all the smell from e juice, and nothing short of a heavy impact will damage it.

While I'm sure the soap and h2o will get rid of the Iso. and think the Iso will do a good job getting rid of any smells. I would use caution having that stuff any where around My mix station. Iso is denatured and not a good thing to digest let alone the vaporized stuff.
Vodka is what I'll stick with. But to each his own
Good point about the denaturing of the Iso and keeping it away from any mixing gear.

An 80/20 mix of water and Iso should be safe don't you think? Mix in the kitchen 2 cup Pyrex that everyone seems to have, add a drop of dish soap.
80 proof vodka is only 40% alcohol, the rest is water. Alcohol is a surfactant. That's what we're looking for. Dish soap contains surfactants and detergents to aid the cleaning.

Hey, why not put the dish soap in vodka? :thumbs:

Hey guys,

so my Pyrex glasses get smelly when juiced with some koolada or menthol juice and
the taste/smell just won't go away with simply rincing it under hot water..

What do you guys recommend to clean it safely?

If you age getting smell/taste it wouldn't be the glass; it would be stuff like the electrical insulators and the rubber/silicone seals.

You could try denture cleaner.

I agree, silicone and other o rings are a different matter. I've covered mine with a baking soda/water paste to try and resurrect them, but sometimes they just have to be replaced.

Yes, don't use alcohol or any harsh solvent on rubber or plastic.
Only on the glass or metal parts.
