It's s trick, GT! Vampire plus cat has GOT to mean more than one life. He's leading you on
You should not have told him that, now he knows the truth..
I could have had a lot of fun when he tried to collect my juice.

I skipped the Polident, since I could only find it with Triple Mint flavoring... Which didn't sound like a great idea, haha. And to be honest I am going another route, because both Polident and Efferdent contain detergents and other chemicals used for bleaching the dentures... Which maybe why the wicks came out so white?
I grabbed a container of citric acid powder, which is used for canning tomatoes and drying fruit, like keeping apples from getting brown. This along with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) make up most of the Polident tablet. When these two ingredients mix with water... They react and make CO2 or bubbles. So the hope is that a soak in citric acid solution (citric acid powder and water) to loosen things up, followed by dumping in some baking soda will create the same effect without any of the other chemicals?
I will report back as to how it works, and if successful... how much citric acid powder/baking soda to use. I feel much better knowing that both of these are commonly used in food products, etc... Not that using Polident along with a thorough rinse probably isn't just as a good. At least this allows me to be a mad scientist for the next couple days, and if it goes crazy and fizzes all over my kitchen I will post the pictures

I did! It was awesome!!! I've got another fire class on Sunday. It's such a rush to hear that burning so close to your body. That's funny actually, I'll spin fire around my body but won't make my own wicks/coils.

If this works for you I'm all over it! I love being the mad scientist! And I'm pretty sure it will work. I wonder if you couldn't toss a little vinegar in there too (with the baking soda). like those volcano experiments.

Please do. I think we would be interested. I keep telling myself that Polident is used on dentures which eventually find their way back to the person's mouth so I'd like to think that some care was given to the safety aspect of it. I haven't seen any news reports of Polident customers dying or suffering in any great numbers, but then if there is a more generic way of doing it then all the better. Let us know.
I had ten heads that I put in the Polident. All of them were at varying degrees of dirty, shall we say. 4 were at the normal 1-2 tank of use. Those came out like they have never been used before. 1 was at 2-4 tank usage, came out almost like new. Just a tiny bit of liight brown around the coil.
Two heads were fairly nasty, still have a bit of dark brown around the coil but I can see the individual coils. I will dry burn them again and do another soak tomorrow.
The last three were the absolute worst of the bunch. Super junk filled that dry burning or soaking in vodka wouldn't touch the crud on them. Mind you, these are my very first heads that I dealt with so I had no clue how to clean or maintain them. I did two Polident soaks on them. I can now see the coils, the wicks hanging are MUCH whiter. I was able to knock off some crud and while I was doing that decided to take that insulator out. The Polident was working on the that sleeve to the point it was slightly degrading it or it could be that they were just that abused by my ignorance.
I can see the coils (in fact I saw the coil so well on one that I was amazed I was able to vape with it. It was not spaced out very well at all) and will see if another dry burn will bring them back even better. I have hopes for these three, or at least two of them. The one might be my practice rebuild.
The Polident didn't seem to break down the wicks at least to what I could visually see. I think I will use this method for an every other cleaning regimen.

Nice findings Robin.
In defense of this, I do have a spotter equipped with a fire extinguisher and one of those blankets you throw on people that are burning.
Someone put a negative review of HHV up because the order they made on Saturday hasn't been sent yet.

Well..there's always someone to put a negative spin on anything.
That said.. it is probably a good idea for them (H&A) to send a little blurb in the confirmation order email... We appreciate your order, please understand that we are a small company growing faster than expected. We hand make each order blah blah blah.. Your order should ship in 5 days or whatever. Or do they already do that? Just a little something to keep everyone in the loop.
I thought they used to have something like that up on the site but I don't see it now.
I think two things.. A) I was not waiting long enough for the entire wick to be saturated
then my B thought was I should put a few drops on the coils when they are dry. Probably standard knowledge, but I'm not one to fully read the instruction manual first, with anything.
So far today nothing has burnt. And I can't dry burn, I want to hold that button once for a really long time. I know I shouldn't, but once they start lighting up I just like to watch them!
Thanks, I needed that boost, xx__xx.Being I'm 4615 and received shipping at 11:15am your good man!!
I arrived at work @ 6:50AM, fell asleep in the car park, woke up @ 7:57 and logged late. Luckily I don't have first period, so I logged into the network opened up ECF to the HHV thread and fell asleep at the mouse again. Gotta get to bed earlier, I think I been staying up vaping too long.
You can't stop idiots from acting like idiots. If it was me I'd refund the money and refuse to serve them in the future.
OR on the website it could say today we shipped orders 3500-3800, so people could sorta keep track of where they were in the order of things.
I'm perfectly happy, just some thoughts. I'm fine if they never change a thing
How are you doing? Staying busy and healing?
Seriously, juice vendors should be forced to work 7 days a week for our pleasure.

I just thought the review was a bit unfair. Anyway, I'm doing okay. In a bit of a slump now but I'm sure it will pass. How's everyone else doing?
