Ob, I have used my ultrasonic cleaner once, with Everclear, to clean my HH .357's. Since I have been reading the forum and being meticulous about blowing out my .357 on a daily bases, or when ever I change juices, I found that hasn't been necessary for me to bring out the big gun. It is so much easier just dropping them in a small glass of Everclear and letting them sit for an hour or so as apposed to setting up the sonic cleaner. I think that the ultrasonic cleaners are wonderful and I use mine occasionally to clean other vaping items.
I hope this was helpful to you.
To the OP, regarding "gumming up" if left "dry."
Try putting a drop of PG, glycerine, or any mix thereof on a sheet of glass. Let it sit at least 24 hours. See any gum? I'll wager you don't. The vapor pressure and oxidation potential (what makes the liquid start down the road to "gummy" is too high on PG/glycerine for any noticeable effect. Now, *additives* to the liquids might gum, but not the glycerine nor the PG.
Store in a liquid if you wish. I clean my atomizers with a combo ultrasound in water and dry burn and store them dry until use. C o m p l e t e l y DRY. I once cleaned every 3-4 days, now that I DIY exclusively it's every couple of months, "just because" and not because something's gone bad. Once in use, I do nothing overnight. 510 atomizers and cartomizers, some in excess of two years old, are all working absolutely as good as or better than new.

So heres an update on the 1st HH 357 i bought! Its been going strong with the occasional vodka cleaning. Its performing just as good as it did the 1st day and its lasted 37 days so far... I have to say that ive defenitly got my 22 dollars worth so far! Will see how much longer it lasts me but so far so good! 5 weeks and counting!
just cleaned out atty with Vodka, and again its back to plumes of vapor.................
I am getting somewhat muted flavor from several of mine now. anyone have a solution? I am wondering if it is a wick problem.
anyone have a idea of when more are going on the site?

I like the idea of getting a ultrasonic to clean these things. I know most use alcohol. I was wondering for those who have done this if using distilled water would be as effective? I would prefer to do that as it seems less harsh, but will use alcohol if that is better. I am currently using everclear to clean in a glass.
Ob, You can get the follow cleaner from Amazon for $26.65 and free shipping. Amazon.com: New Trent 2800 Ultrasonic cleaner for Jewelry, Eyeglasses and Dental with Digital Display 1 Pint capacity CD 2800A: Electronics
If you think the Everclear will be to harsh for an item, distilled water is the next best thing. When I use distilled water, I heat it up in the microwave, to almost boiling, and put it in the cleaner with the item.
A lot of the time when I notice flavor dropping off, I can attribute it to my taste buds having become too acclimated to the juice I'm vaping. I switch to another flavor at that point and all is well again.
You could also try drinking some water with lemon juice added. It's all about changing the pH in your mouth.
Just throwing that out there, bud. Not saying it's not your atty.
Question so when you use the ultrasonic cleaner do you put vodka in it to clean the attys?
I've used Everclear and distilled water depending on what I am cleaning. Everclear sometimes takes the paper or rubber coating off of items, in this case I use water.
Just got my HH.357 atty. It 2.5ohm. I think my vv is at 4V may even be at 3.7. not sure till I get my multimeter from truck. But this thing hits hard the first couple times. Now its not hitting as hard. I think I just flooded the thing. I will deal with it in a 30 mins or so. I been vaping this thing off for 20 mins straight I know if I keep going, I will get sick I only have 20-25mg juice I not sure just made it last night and added an extra ml of nic by accident. My super T tip is hot. the vapor is hot. But not that different with current set up with 5.5 and 2.8 ohm atty. Same drag time same vapor. But only thing I can think of is that I need to break it in. Def more vapor than LR on 4V. I will take my time with this atty. I just went on a spree. 2 magma atty and 2 inferno atty and bunch of mod parts for a new vv box. And maybe a 3.7 just to use the 357 on. Oh yeah Flavor is off the hook. I got ppl trying my clove juice and they say its so strong and one guy says it numbs his tongue. With this atty, I feel that numbness. And I can really taste this flavor. I just hope its strong enough to withstand the juice. 4 attys will last me about 45 days if i'm lucky.
just like a 50/50 mix?
I am interested to see cisco chime in on the ultrasonic cleaners, or hannah for that matter. Just am curious about their 2cents.
