Efferdent may just be the trick!

[markimar]

Had two attys that all of a sudden stopped working, restricted air flow. Blew them to death, soaked in hot water. Did all the cleaning tips and they still seemed blocked. Tried the efferdent it's soaking now. Already has brown foam on top! Who knows maybe this will actually work!
Will update in a couple hours and let you know! Cross you're fingers. .

I pondered using efferdent. I wasn't sure if any residue it left would be safe to vape. My logic being that some things that are tolerable for trace ingestion might not be the same for inhalation... Not sure if that is true or not.

I have been using efferdent tablets to clean my attys for a while now, following the cleaning with a good hot water rinse. No problems, no aftertaste, a cleans them well... works for me... good luck

I am not a fan of cleaning attys. I usually just toss one to the side and move on to the next one. I had a good collection of 901 and 510s that had nothing wrong with them except for having a bad taste to them. I bought some of the Walmart brand denture cleaner and used 2 tablets, let them soak overnight. I rinsed them well the next morning and blew them out and let them dry overnight. I now have 19 extra attys in my stash. It worked like a charm.

I'm going to have to try this. I would think that a good hot water rinse would remove any residue from something like that.

How mad do you think my hubby will get if I use all his denture cleaner on my atty's???

I tried a cheap version of efferdent in a vibrating tooth bath, and was disapointed. How long did you let the atties soak.

I let them soak overnight in Polident.

Well here's the update!
I can now see the atty light up! Didn't see that before the soak! Rinsed again to rid any ash build up from dry burn. Recharging batteries and in an hour will give them a test run. It's a good sign when I see the red heat up!

Oh and by the way 2nd day analog free! Was smoking 2 packs a day. Started vaping and cut down to 3 or 4 a day now analog free for 2! Pretty good for a 28 year smoker!

PS using the laptop as a dryer is a great idea!
Thanks to all the folks that left the tips.

**latest update well they still suck harder hmnmnn don't know what to do
It's like the holes on the side are blocked is the only way to describe it but they aren't they flow freely. Anyone have an idea ?

I've read posts of people cleaning the blockage with a needle. Slow, shallow poking and turning might be the way to go.
