Natural Pipe Cleaner to Clean Atomizer?

[EddieAdams]

I have some "Bling" pipe cleaner for metals, ceramics, and glass. The stuff works amazing for it's intended use but,I was wondering if it would be safe to use on atomizers? Obviously would give a good thorough rinse after.Any experience or opinions? Thanks...

Not sure... I use Dills pipe cleaners for mine. Hold-over from pipe smoking.

I can't really see why it wouldn't be as long as you thoroughly rinsed after. You're using it for very similar tasks anyway.

Maybe I'm not the right person to advise on this category especially since I'm new and only use rba's and clearo style tank systems, but I have heard that true Atomizer fans don't use anything but a good soak in PURE grain alcohol or distilled water, not even tap water because it contains minerals and other impurities and when the liquid evaporates the unwanted stuff gets left behind.

That's true, however it doesn't remove everything. I'm only asking for my shifu style atomizers. I just rebuild everything else. It's safe for pipes so I'm going to roll the dice and give them a good rinse....

i use a 12ml syringe to clean my manufactured attys. you attach the atty to the syringe with a 1" piece of silicon tubing then proceed to draw hot hot water back and fourth until clean. then repeat the process with vodka. it works like a charm. ive never blown an atty since ive been regularly cleaning them. i have one thats been going like new for over a year. outstanding performance.
you can also use a turkey baster instead of a syringe if you want. you put the atty inside the baster.

I'll try that. So "bling" cleaned it halfway decent however, the slight refreshed odor it leaves behind on pipes that dissipates after a puff or two, does not dissipate with atomizers and is all I can taste.. Even after some pretty thorough rinsing. Back to the drawing board and trying Kemos technique.
