Rubbing alcohol?

[Jynn]

I have seen several post on another forum from people saying they clean their attys in rubbing alcohol or mouthwash, but on this forum I've only seen vodka/puregrain and water mentioned.

Is rubbing alcohol OK, or is it dangerous because of whatever they add to it to make it undrinkable?

If it makes a difference, I am currently using whatever atty comes from the v-starter kits from volcanoecigs.com but have just ordered a Joye 510

First I don't recommend cleaning atomizers unless there is a drop in perforumance and then only with vodka - something that is ok for human consumption and/or inhalation.

That is not true for rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. I know that is it used throughout the computer industry for cleaning contacts and other things but most don't end up being used for human consumption.

See the safety, toxicology and warning sections here and decide for yourself:
