Possible stupid cleaning idea?

[Atari]

I have read about people using ice maker cleaner, why not fog machine cleaner. Same basic concept right? Any one with 10 bucks, some time, and possibly an atty to waste?

Only problem with that product is it may contain something harmful. I'm sure the ice maker cleaner takes into account that Ice is for human consumption whereas Fog Machine Cleaner doesn't have to consider that.

I would have to disagree, I have preformed/partied around a lot of fog machines, and you inhale a LOT of it. I got so irritated last weekend when I went to this club that flooded the place with fog, you couldn't see your drink in your hand, but I couldnt use my PV. I did notice as did a friend of mine that it was like a 0nic draw off of a fresh atty and straight PG. So you end up inhaling a lot of that stuff

Hmmmm worth a try to atleast see whats in it. Maybe the cleaning answer everyone has been lookin for. I mean if you think about it a fog machine is basically a big vapor machine

Here's a funny thing, though... I use two fog machines once per month, a big monster one and a smaller one (and yes, the fog is pg, and when it's thick, it's like vaping pure pg). But for years, I've been cleaning them as per the manufacturer's recommendation -- by running distilled water through them. I've never used special cleaning fluid, and have never had a problem with them not getting clean.

So I'm not sure that it would gain you anything with cleaning attys. Hot (I use boiling) water gets rid of the pg (and vg) just fine. The bigger atty cleaning problem is the residues from the flavoring, and it's not clear to me that fog cleaning juice would be effective with those.

A friends band has used a vanilla scented fog and I believe a strawberry would that be a flavoring or a scent thing?

They're scents you add to the fog juice. I use vanilla and apple frequently in my fog, but I don't know if they're safe for vaping, so I don't. Often, scents and flavors are the same stuff -- but not always. Also, I don't know if the fog juice scents are food-safe.

A big difference between vaping and fog machines, scent-wise, is that your use a far lower percentage of scent/flavoring in the fog machine than in the vape juice. Another big difference is the fogging mechanism: pvs use a hot coil, fog machines use a heated plate. The heated plate is not terribly prone to gunking up.

... bottom line folks should do their research first before posting in tips and tricks.

Yeah Im pretty sure reading the title would explain it all Cheif

Unless you know what chemicals are contained in this type of cleaner, this method seems inadvisable. I could not find any lists or MSDS's for it on Google. There are plenty of other cleaning methods that use plain old water or everclear that work just fine.

Oh yeah, because you know about everything. Lol

You couldn't use your PV? Who would have noticed!?

I thought of it, but I used to bounce in a few clubs here, and I knew a few of the guys working, but the one that molested me with a pat down wasnt a "friend" thought I felt a little to close to him at the moment. I really didnt want to give the guy a reason to be a ..... sense he really didnt need one any way.


And I should mention this was an idea for others to try, I myself have sworn off alcohol cleaning, dry burns, I use nothing other than boiling water in a coffee mug for a long bath and overnight air drying. I vape mostly Boba's Bounty and other 100% VG liquids and have found since I switched to Inferno attys that this is the only way to go for me, but if others want to try different methods I have no problem throwing out new ideas and possible methods
