Ideal way to blow out 510 attys and mouthpieces

[144man]

I got tired of getting dizzy blowing out my attys and mouthpieces with excess juice. The semi-soft vinyl hose on this inflater pump has the exact ID to fit 510 components. It pumps on both strokes, and really works a treat! Not too much pressure, and easy to control. It also works great to get all the isopropyl alcohol out after an overnight soak.

Wow... $7.99 for shipping to Ohio for a total of $10.98. That's not so cheap. Any way to get free shipping?

Be careful with that, as I've heard it can damage the atty if too much air is released into the atty.

Yeah, I just came across a thread on that...I've been using mine on the lighter side luckily.

If by compressed air you mean canned air, be more than careful with that - stop that! Canned air is NOT just air, it has propellants and nasty stuff called difluoroethane (a type of freon). They also add bitterants to try to prevent people from inhaling the contents to get high. So, at best you will be adding bad taste, at worst you could be poisoning yourself.

He may be referring to air from a shop compressor. Most of them let you dial down the PSI though, so you should be able to set it to a safe level.

Nice find!

I think I'm ordering one pretty soon

I like how people on these forums interact and share info!

Ugh! I've been using compressed air in a can! I shall stop immediately. Guess I'll have to use the compressed for what it's for...cleaning my workspace.

 

[Skwerl]

Oh wow! That thing is a super handy thing to keep in the house!

Thanks for that caution. I hope plenty of people see it before they try using the cans.
I've been working on my lung power alone, but I've been thinking about using the can of compressed air on my desk for keyboard cleaning and wondering about that issue.

Thanks for the info!

I think I'll make a post about this on the Health and Safety forum just to get more possible eyes on it.

I have been using a vac to "suck" out the tainted juice and solvent when cleaning my atomizer. I just cup my fingers over the hose of the attachment wand and place the atomizer between my fingers. Quick and painless.

I've been using a Giotto Large Rocket Blaster for a week or so, and it is the bomb for clearing out attys and carts. It has a one-way valve so it only blows, doesn't suck. Gives a surprisingly powerful blast with a squeeze. Two or three good squeezes with it on an atty or cart and it's clean. Highly recommended.
