Dirty RBA's

A bowl of water and detergent and a good rinse after ought to do the trick. I do that anyway with a lot of my rba's once a month to keep them and the drip tips clean and dirt free. A lot depends on the rba and how far apart you are prepared to strip it.
IMO taking o-rings off is unnecessary, but i have done that in the past with particularly gruesome specimens!

Grain alcohol I guess.
That's nasty they sold it to you that way. I'm hoping you noted this in your feedback of the seller.

Some flavors stick pretty good to orings, once a week i drop my RBA's into boiling water for about 30secs works wonders. If boiling water can get atomic cynicyde out it should do the trick for ya
+1 on the grain.
It's the pourous parts that retain the stank. Soak the orings and anything that's not metal or glass in grain alcohol. Then a hot water and baking soda combo. Repeat both steps until like new. Only if the flavor is particularly gruesome will it retain after that.

reminds me of something that happened to me with the rsst. this person sent it to me with some nasty juice in it and it took me like a month to finally get rid of it. I think it was the plastic tank that held most of it. I soaked & soaked for days. I was a little leery about using any chemicals because I thought it might ruin the tank. I did take a little grain & water together, like a 50/50 mix and let it soak, but it still stunk. in time it went away because my juice finally came through. I believe the juice that came inside the device was this wta tabacco juice, man this stuff was nastly. I would definatly let people know who the sellers were. I have sold items in the classifieds and always took a lot of time to clean the items very meticulously.
I left them a message first. I should NOT have to clean his crap off of what he didn't want anymore. I'm ......!!!
Yea.. I've bought two highend rbas off the classys and they smelled of the tobacco that the seller used in them. The DID still had some in it! I had to take it completely apart and soak in hot water with dawn. I ended up having to put in new 0-rings. The GP Spheroid I traded for did come clean but I could tell the seller had been vaping a tobacco juice. I ended up taking it completely apart and soaking it.. I dipped the 0-rings in alcohol and it took the smell out. I can't imagine getting something that had something like pluid in it (yuck) It really put me off buying used rbas.
And i thought Dawn was only good for cleaning birds after oil spills! Lol.
It must have because I'm using it now and all I can taste is peach, not tobacco. I didn't try alcohol on the DID, I just changed the o-rings (they sent some extra) One thing to note, my RSST had a funny taste to it, it was new. I figured it had to be the tank, I dipped the tank in 91% alcohol and washed it with dawn and let it dry and the funny taste wasn't there any more. It's worth a try.
What exactly was in it? If it was pluid, you'll probably never get that out! Before I bought my used DID and GP Spheriod, I made sure that pluid wasn't used in them!

Oxyclean! I wouldn't use dawn or a liquid detergent, which is difficult to rinse fully (all those nooks and crannies), but just soak in hot hot water for a couple hours and a bit of oxyclean free (NOT the scented kind). This stuff is my hobby and business (brewing beer, and of course extreme cleaning).
If your dog has fleas, Dawn works better than any commercially available flea shampoo.
