Ground up a big fat cigar and added PG to it, will let it soak/rot for a couple of months and use a French press to start filtering, then coffee filter, then aquarium kind of filter paper. No idea if I'll like it as it's not really my preferred flavor but thought I'd give it a go.

No Kidding! I went downstairs to the frig and read the ingredients. Probably would have been faster checking online.I saw tomato paste and vinegar. Yeah that probably works. There was salt too. I am not sure if that helps. The rest of the ingredients I don't think helps to clean, but maybe.
UPDATE:
Ingredients: Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Vinegar, Corn Syrup, salt, Raisin Paste, Crushed Orange Puree, Spice, Dried Garlic, Caramel Color, Dried Onions, Potassium Sorbate (to Preserve Freshness), Xanthan Gum, Celery Seed.
With those ingredients, dilute it and vape it.
Is that a thing? Wait months for nets? I have no patience for that.
Place 1/2 once of tobacco in a mason jar, add 100mil pg, screw lid on lightly, place in crock pot with water 3/4 up jar sides, adjust to 150°f, remove after 48hrs, coffee press, triple filter and done.
tibs, I swear by this stiff, I remember Dad always had a can on hand from way back when I was a lad, you might find it localy. https://www.amazon.com/Basch-Never-Dull-Metal-Polish/dp/B0014IGAWO
Low temp (under 170°f) has been a winner for me. After all, I not trying to cook the tobacco mascuration, just heat it to release the goodies quickly. Triple filtering with 5 micron poly felt has been working quite well. I cut a piece of poly felt round to fit perfectly in the coffee press for the first of three filterings. The last two filterings are done with poly felt and a funnel.
I can vape 35-60mils of net before rewicking depending on the tobacco type. Organic American Spirit tobacco seems to be the cleanest whereas aromatics seem the dirtiest.
This allows me to vape on the cheap without having to vape unflavored. About 5¢ per ml of flavoring. I use 12% flavor so flavoring a 100ml bottle costs approx 60¢.

It's still tobacco soooo.....

I stumbled on a trick some may already know and use, I use the stubby V1 mizers and need to refill them a couple times a day, when I have the deck out I'll rub some of the crud off the coils with q-tips trying to minimize build up and make them last a little longer. It hit me if they were good and wet with juice and hot the coils may clean up better so I wet the coils, fired them then use the q-tips, wow the crud comes right off! I re-wet, fire again and the added juice help pull the dirty juice out of the rayon wicks, it really works great, the flavor and clouds return like they are a new build. One other tip, rubbing the coil pushes the rayon down inside, last step I use a dental pick to push some rayon from the ends back inside the coil to make sure the rayon is in full contact with the coil. I've doubled the life of the builds. 
I always clean the barbecue grill while it's still hot. So much easier than once it all gets cold and hardens.
PS I use a stainless brush for that, though, not a Q-Tip

Going back to Brasso for a second. I was in a competitive shoot, years ago. An acquaintance was also and boasted to me how carefully he hand polished every case to give them a "perfect" finish and help improve accuracy. Being the PITA I am, I polished mine, too, but I used a case trimmer, chucked in a drill, 000 steel wool AND Brasso in the steel wool. They came out like mirrors in a few seconds of moderate speed spinning.
The acquaintance was at the next bench at the match. He got so rattled by my brass "out shining" his, he couldn't hit the floor with his hat.

Polished before re-sizing I assume? I never went further than using crushed walnut shells in a vibe tub. Then of course weigh brass for thickness, resize, trim, deburr, prime, trickle, set bullet and verify COL.
After a 15yrs of fussing around with hand loads, custom barrels, pillar bedding stocks and thousands of $$$ I realized that I just wasn't that good of a shot!
I was adventurous. I did tumble them in ground corn husk for a few days, first, but did the final touch after they were weighed, sized, trimmed and fully reloaded. Shot a 180 out of 200 at 200 yards with open sights that day. Not outstanding, to be sure, but more than good enough for my purposes. Today, I'd be happy to hit the paper at 200 yards.
I give the coils a little scrape with an edge (flat screwdriver, xacto blade etc) then apply a little juice to a piece of paper towel and rub off the crud for a between wicking clean. It will give a little more life to a build that is starting to taste a little char.I stumbled on a trick some may already know and use, I use the stubby V1 mizers and need to refill them a couple times a day, when I have the deck out I'll rub some of the crud off the coils with q-tips trying to minimize build up and make them last a little longer.

I got tired of filling the OG Mizer repeatedly so 10ml Plus' are my go to. There was a post in the Steam Crave group that the qp Fatality RTAs bubble glass fits, as soon as FT gets replacement glass in stock all my Plus' will be going to 14ml's.
That's pretty darn good with iron sights! A little polishing placebo goes a long way.

Yup, once you have good equipment, quality ammo and the fundamentals down a lot of what's left is mental, you can beat yourself right out of points with what's between your ears. You can have a great target going, then toss a shot wide and it will mess with your head if you let it, been there and done it.

I could dig that video out and make copies of it if anyone would like to watch it, of course it would be a "loan".

That's a generous offer Willie. These days I bow hunt exclusively. Archery provides a great challenge for me and gives the deer better odds.

I think that does what you want? but not as elegantly as some of the other solutions out there. I have not used this but it claims to allow remote control of a window a/c even via wifi. Unless I misunderstood?

I have never tried to clean the coils while wicked, I do however remove the wicking and burn the coils in watts to glow red (ss coils that is) and run them under running water (as much pressure as my kitchen faucet puts out) and that usually cleans them "good enough". Then when they no longer get visibly clean (ie: stay yukky and black) obviously its time to re-coil.
I've been using SS316 for quite a while with good results (to me anyway)
That's for a mini-split not a window unit.
Same here, I dryburn the coils and rewick. I use water and a toothbrush to scrub the coils lightly to remove the gunk ash after glowing them dull red . A couple of times is all it usually takes.
As long as the gunk is completely burned off the remaining black color is nothing to worry about, that's just a surface oxide layer formed from the metals in the wires.
