Does the denture cleaner really work guys?

[Butters78]

I'm debating on getting some to clean my dripping RBAs when they get gunked up. I'm lazy and would rather stick them in a cup and let the cleaner do its thing than rebuild another coil. I have no question about safety considering it's made for something you stick in your mouth. I wonder if the cleaner will leave a taste, like mint. I don't have dentures so I don't know the deal.

IME it is not worth the trouble. I use mostly Rebuildables and Clearlos though. I just soak in alcohol rinse and dry burn the atty and that seems to be enough. I suppose if it had a bad build up I would but so far I have not needed to. I still have all my original Vivi nova heads and they work fine so I must be doing something right. LOL

Good points. I use the vivi novas and rebuild them as well. I've just been washing them in the sink like Pbusardo's Italian self. I think the bubbles on the commercial excited me for some odd reason.

I used the denture cleaner soak on a couple of gunked up 510 atty's. Soaked overnite, then rinsed really well and then soaked in vodka. Then I dripped plain VG for a few puffs. Revived them both enough to work for a couple more weeks for one and a month for the other.

I use the denture cleaner and it works just fine, it leaves no aftertaste and its fairly cheap. i would use PGA but would rather drink everclear and vodka lol.
Seriously though it works, I think its good for some people who dont drink maybe?
There are so many different ways to clean atties. Everyone has their own favs.

You guys are top notch once again.. I appreciate it.

For dripping I use an IGO-L with a SS wick (used a SS/silca hyybrid until I worked out the kinks with an all SS wick). Hot water from the tap, rinse thoroughly, blow and paper towel dry. Dry burn and I am back in business in less than 5 minutes.

I use polident on my S1 (same as t2) coils... it does remove quite a bit of the residue from dark/sweet juices. I soak them in polident and hot water overnight, then soak them in plain water just to get rid of any minty stuff that might be left over... dry burn and rinse and they're good as new.

Bubbles can be mesmerizing as long as they are not there when you pass gas.

if you have an old Sonic Care toothbrush, that would be ultrasonic, and they work great for cleaning. vibrates stuff with sonic waves. or jewelry cleaners. they also help steep diy juices as well.

I got one of those fancy toothbrush deals but just going to use it on my teeth for now heh, maybe I'll buy a head just for atties. I got my phoenix soaking in some isopropyl. The wick is all black I'm seeing if it'll clean it up some.

that's exactly what I did, wait until your toothbrush head wears out, buy new one for your teeth, use the old one for vape stuff. cheers.

You know that you can buy non-minty denture cleaning tablets, right?

It works for me on the Kanger T2 coils. I just soak overnight, rinse them in the morning and blot dry.

To those that say it works, how do you know it works?

Has anyone taken a coil that they can clearly see and visually verify is gunked up with baked-on crap...
Then cleaned it using any method other than dry burning, which HAS already been verified to work...
And then verified that all of the baked-on gunk is gone and the coil is as clean as a new one?

I have. I have taken a nova head that I have soaked in vodka. Still gunked up, wicks look brown.
Same head, boiling water and denture cleaner. Wicks are white, coil looks better (I can actually see the wire now) and dark particles in the bottom of the cup I used. A dry burn and it almost looks good as brand new.

I did this experiment because it was brought up in anther thread that I frequent. I just had to see for myself.

But then again, the vodka soak may have loosened up the gunk for the denture cleaner to work better?
