Hi all, The title says it all. I am deployed and have a Vivi Nova (which I love). I dont have access to vodka to clean the atomizers. I was wondering if I could just submerge the atomizers in a water bottle for a day, and let them dry. I am not sure if this would work, but I am sure that someone here on ECF will be able to help me out.
How to clean a vivi nova atomizer in a deployed enviroment?

If you can get some isopropyl alcohol that would work. I let mine sit in some 91% for awhile (1 day to a week depending on my laziness) , rinse them, then let them soak in some water for a day or so. Once they're dry they work great.
I take mine to the cadilac and run the hottest water I can handle over it then rinse it with bottled water.
They don't sell isopropyl alcohol at the BX where I'm at, so hot water form the caddy and bottled water is the best that I could come up with. Then I let it dry in paper towels while I sleep.
It seems to be working so far.

You could also try boiling them. I haven't tried this but it should work better then just soaking them in a water bottle.
You could also try rebuilding them. I don't know if you can get resistance wire in Afghanistan? but you should be able to get %100 cotton yarn anywhere on the plant.
I personally find that just rinsing the excess juice off with water, preferably warm, and dry burning works just fine. If you have juice that burns onto the coil and creates a crust you may have to pick at it a little with something and do the procedure a couple times. If you have the time and extra heads to get you by, then yes, you could just leave them dry for a day after rinsing(but still do a short dry burn before reusing.) Dry burning is the key to a like new atty.
I have access to some Isopropyl (because I work on aircraft) I might give that a try. I have had one sitting in a water bottle for a week, I will give that one a try in a minute.
Gotcha.
I am just a mear Air Trans guy. We load normal 130s among other things, and we run the oh so wonderful Air Force pax terminals.
Do they let you vape in the office or on the A/C?

The rule is that I have to "vape" in a designated tobacco use area. But my supervision is cool and lets me vape in my office and I stealth vape on the aircraft.
Nice...I can vape in the office as long as we don't have customers. Oh, and as long as I am not vaping something that leaves an offensive odor :/
I have aty I've been using for well over a month. I have never done except soak in warm water, then let them dry. No dry burning, no alcohol. Less is more, at least, that is what works for me. I vape 100% VG too.
