Wow! From hours to 5 days. Quite a variance in how people clean their coils with vodka! I've tried 24 hours, seemed to work fine. But who knows, perhaps an even longer soak is beneficial.
I use cheap vodka as I'm not comfortable using isopropyl alcohol

Yeah isopropyl alcohol is de natured wich is put in to prevent people from drinking. So I don't trust it either.

Hello. I was just wondering if it was OK to clean. Syringes, beakers, bottles....etc. With cheap bottom of the shelf vodka. Or does anyone know of any non-soap ways to clean. Thanks
Vodka works but better to use PGA (pure grain alcohol) or Everclear, no aftertaste higher proof.

I'm wondering what's the average drying time for stock coils cleaned in vodka?

I imagine it will depend on the ambient temperature and humidity you expose your coils to. But if you are impacient (like me ;)) I would just throw my cleaned coil heads on a pie pan and pop it into the oven on its lowest setting (mine happens to be 170F). In about an hour they were bone dry. :D

When I was using disposable coils, I tried vodka and it didn't seem to do much actual cleaning. I got better results boiling for 1/2 hour, judging by all the little black flakes in the water.

I've left plastic bottles submerged in a sealed container of vodka for a week with varying results. There are some odors that vodka apparently can't neutralize. Granted, sometimes it's impossible to completely deodorize HDPE bottles.
