Cleaning with an ultrasonic cleaner

[00gt1]

I regularly clean my PT and Mini with one (gets them squeaky clean and prevent gunk from building up) but has anyone ever tried cleaning your rda/coils with this? I usually soak my PT coils in 151 to extend/clean them but I never thought to put them in the ultrasonic cleaner. I'll try it out and report back but I just wanted to see if anyone else has tried it.

Well I clean my coils and heads with a Phillips sonic toothbrush. Much faster than using an ultrasonic cleaner, although I have to state that I have never used one. Dry burning doesn't get my coils sparkling, so I brush it with the toothbrush. WITHOUT toothpaste of course.

I put some used protank coils with the wicks in my ultrasonic, and they came out really clean.

I was actually wondering the other day if protank 1's could be cleaned in ultrasonics...with the glue and all. It wont harm the glue?

I use a sonic cleaner for cleaning my heads (not ultrasonic, since I found a small travel jewelry cleaner at Goodwill for $4). I also use it for quick steeping my juices, and I must say, it totally works better than hot water alone.

I will totally be using it for all of my RDA and RBA stuff when I head down that path....

Welp.. tried it out and it worked REALLY well.. @danny4x4, I hear you but I like the drop it in and forget about it approach. I use two different harbor freight cleaner and literally just drop it in a forget about it.

As to Djenkins post, I would not, the glue would most likely break down.

Okay, I've never owned or used an ultrasonic cleaner, so please forgive my question as born out of ignorance... Just what kind of cleaning solution do you fill it with that would be safe for vape gear???

Hot water only no need to add solution. The ultrasonic vibrations with separate the gunk and juice from the metal and pyrex. It also does a great job at cleaning coils apparently.

Thanks, and thanks for the links too. I think I am going to ask Santa to bring me one for Xmas!

I was going to say wait for Black Friday or Xmas they always have a 20 percent off coupon you can use on top of the sale price to get it crazy cheap. The only thing that the more expensive one add a besides being bigger is that it heats the water for you and you can set your time. The smaller cheaper one defaults to 3 minutes and can't be changed
