Threw out the juice and bottle and now my REO is taking a bath...maybe I should stick the derringer in there as well...
oh no.......yeah larry beat me to the pga, like everclear, or if you don't have that try some rubbing alcohol, just wash it good afterwards, or maybe some vinegar and water. Some folks boil em, but I think you'd have to take off the oring and maybe the insulator, not sure. Not even sure if you can take off the insulator. lol But that's a lotta trouble anyhow.

After taking it apart to dry, the feed tube smells super sour. Would soaking the tube in pg or vodka help? Or do I need to wash the whole thing (the 510 kinda stinks, too). It smells 'sour' now.
what in the world you been vaping LOL

Where do you live? in another state?
Im in Indiana. The piece was coming from somewhere in MI so I guess AP was unavoidable. It just seems anything that goes through there get's hung up or misrouted somehow.

Amy, that's a shame you are having problems with it. Mine from them is great. I just gave it a bath in some dawn and HOT water and was good to go.

I had blueberry flavored liquid in the bottle, but I think that I may not have gotten off all of the machine oil when I washed it the first time - I put a dab of soap on my hand, cupped my hands with some water, and shook my hands with the atty over the sink. So I have no idea. lol

I didn't soak mine, though, so dunno. It's kind of my luck today - had a great lunch with a former professor, bought mom flowers for mother's day...usually have to have 1 thing go wrong a day. lol

I use a lot of Everclear when soaking or cleaning. I never use rubbing alcohol on anything I vape but I suppose it is fine if you rinse it really good. It is my understanding that there are harmful chemicals in it. Just me. If there is a smell that I cannot get out, I simply clean it with denture tablets that I got from the dollar store. Has worked well for me so far. Just my 3¢ (inflation) and what I do. :)

There is 'legal' shine here in PA other than everclear...at least there was the last time i was at the state store.
I did make one mistake with washing. I didn't realize we still had Dawn at the house, so I was using a seriously old bottle of some sort of dishwashing liquid. Everything is soaking in Dawn for now. Will use vodka on the tube and bottle later if things are still a little odoriferous. lol. Guess I'll be using a mech until I get things cleaned up. oh well. Live and Learn! I still love the fact that I can just take apart the whole REO and soak it to clean it!
