Q-tip comes to mind.
I have just been letting mine air dry after an alcohol soak.
Drys a little faster than water.

I usually just air dry mine but I have considered using my hair dryer.....has anyone tried that?
Well, not that many will have one but, I have a forced air incubator (for hatching eggs) that is not in use for eggs except for a couple of months in the spring so, I crank it up and don't add water (you do with eggs to get the humidity up) I put my just cleaned tanks in there for 15 minutes at 100 degrees (US). All dry w/o me messing with them.
A hair dryer or heat gun on low would do the trick too as does putting them in a box with a large moisture absorber pack for half an hour or so. The food dehydrator does the same too, just turn the heat as low as possible.
Whatever you have, lots of hands off ways to dry them.

I never have tried the alcohol soak. Do you just usr rubbing alcohol? Wouldn't that leave a nasty taste in your tanks 
Hold one of these about 8-12" away from item needing dry and sweep back and forth...warm but not TOO much...it will dry it no problem
Amazon.com: Revlon Rvdr5033 1875w Compact Stylist Dryer, Black: Beauty
aka any hair dryer
I have also found that if I simply blow out the coils and wick on my tanks then put my tank back together with juice and do a few puff burns on it, it will wick and start working just fine, my tank is similar to a Kanger pro tank element (Totally Wicked Tornado RCS tank) without the threads
Your mileage may vary YMMV

I have a small air compressor and a little hand nozzle and I just spray them with the air. I guess the computer parts compressed air would work.

I pretty sure that rubbing alcohol is poisionous and shouldn't be used. You use Isoprop alcohol or your 12 year old scotch might work the best to soak attys.
A trick I heard was some of your top coil wicks can be loose, so dryburn or soak the grebblies out and twist the wick over inside the coil and have a kinda new wick to use and works the same on both sides of the coil. I was getting a extra life out of my CE4 head's wick just by sliding it over.

+1 on the air compressor. I got tired of buying air to blow out all the computers in the house so I bought a air compressor.
I also use it to blow out my Protank T3S

Best cleaning trick for a Protank (and the salvation of your vocal cords) is to ditch silica. That...keeps it clean. No useful purpose on this earth for such a creature as sili-ca-ca but to call it a wick. I think we've all been had. The gurgling sound you all are hearing is the result of disturbed airflow created by fragmenting silica rope. The more you vape the more you hear it. Ignore it = flood. Use cotton, Nextel or Ekowool in that order if you want a decent vape on a Kanger.
If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd swear they invented silica as the Trojan Horse to doom this industry to regulation, at the end of the day. Fortunately wiser individuals, actual consumers, have had the wherewithal to go against the grain of convention and, daresay, "risk" alternatives like cotton and ceramic.
Best vape I've experienced thus far came this evening with four uninterrupted hours on a very slowly draining tank using XC-116 Nextel on a 1.75 mm i.d. 30g 8/7 coil @ ~ 2.2Ω, 7.5W (zMax, eVic, N-Zonic, fresh Panasonic, Samsung, AW) with a prior used and washed smidgeon as a flavor wick. To look at the crimped assembly you'd think it would never wick.
Well the tank's about empty and I haven't discolored a thing. Nor is there a leak in sight.
Hit it hard, hit it long, hit it often, low power or hi, Nextel tastes great, less filling.
Good luck all!

Cleaning and maintenance is very easy for ecigs. You can Pour a tiny amount of the rubbing alcohol into a small container, then soak the head of the cotton swab. More over you can easily clean the thread Using a circular motion, gently use the cotton swab to clean the threads of the battery.
