Does anybody know what to use to clean the ceramic cup in the terminator? I think they are the same as the odysseus but I haven't seen any talk about it. If someone here knows what to do please post . Thanks
Cleaning the ceramic of the terminator

I dont know if there are any "official" methods, but what I do is soak in hot water for daily clean. If I want to give a better cleaning, I use denture tabs to get out any dark colour from some dark juice. I also will once in a while give it a good torching. I put a doubled piece of kanthal and put in down the center and use that to hold it while I torch it. Be careful , it gets "REAL" hot. I dropped it on some carpet and it melted the carpet fiber to the ceramic and I had to torch the hell out of it to get the carpet fiber off.
Some boil it, some simmer it in milk and then torch it. Thats usually for "new ceramic syndrome" to get the funky taste off, so I guess it will work for a very dirty ceramic also.

Thanks avid. I just saw where torching it was one way to clean it but that was how this person broke their ceramic. I will give it a good soak in hot water and see how that works.
Iv heard of that possibly happening, but I torch the heck out of it, but I constantly keep the flame moving. It would certainty happen if you expose it to a radical temp change. Like when you boil water in a class container and add cold water to it. I did crack a ceramic when I forgot to take the rubber o-ring off the ceramic. It cracked the bottom right off of it.
After I torch it, I place it on a piece of thick metal so that it doesnt burn anything. I did one time place it on one of my cigar boxes and it scorched the wood.
Just use care when torching, it retains heat for a long time. Try to keep the flame moving so that you dont over heat it in any one spot to avoid cracking. If you take things slowly, and even do it a couple times, that would avoid overheating and cracking.

ok so you dont torch it and then douch it in water? I guess that would surely crack it.
