Soaking in Vinegar?

[kabonk]

or lemon juice to get a bad taste out works well too

Thanks everyone! I have soaked some in vinegar and am letting them dry. I did rinse them well with warm water too. Hopefully it works well! I am not sure how long to let them dry, well probably test one out sometime tommorow...

Well, atty #1 (bridgeless 1.5 510 atty from hotvapes) is working well after the vinegar soak.....no vinegar taste or smell...

Good to hear.

Vinegar is Much Cheaper than PGA.

Funny thing is I started cleaning all kinds of things with vinegar now:

Great to refresh the dishwasher, coffee machine, cool air humidifiers, kills mold in a hurry, anything I can think of gets the old vinegar treatment now... I feel like Martha Stewart with Tourret's syndrome...

Guess it depends on the plastics too... Was it vinegar or something else someone was saying about the plastic leeching into? I have cleaned my coffee maker with some vinegar as well as this stuff that smells like ammonia.

I bought a bottle of rock guy 151 proof vodka to use for cleaning atties and such. I won't drink that, I prefer a nice Polish Potato vodka for drinking.

I've partially filled some medicine bottles with the vodka, put the atty in, poured out enough to cover the top of the atty, capped it and shake it every so often. Let it sit for a few hours, shaking every so often.

Maybe just psychological but figure shaking it gets the gunk off due to the shaking motion. Has seemed to work well for me.

LOL...

Before you pull out the BBQ Grille and watch Tim Tebow Choke do OK, try wiping it with Vinegar, Works Great.

Have some Rusty Tools Laying around? Soak them in Vinegar overnight and La Voila, Rust Gone.

And at A Dollar Two Ninety Eight a Gallon, you Can’t Beat It.

OK First of all.... as long as the Pats get what's coming to them. I like my Broncos always will, with the Broncos as number 1 team and Vikings as number 2 team I know about loyalty

Thanks for the tips on that. I wonder about soaking the center pin on the Omega...

I wonder if you can get bad flavors out of cartomizers with vinegar? I tried:

With a syringe carto cleaner kit:
Hot distilled water - Nope!
followed with
Vodka - Nope!

Thanks guys!!

Rubbing alcohol? Is that the same as hydrogen peroxide or is that something else? That was another one I was considering trying - hydrogen peroxide...

Don't use hydrogen peroxide. It can leave a residue behind that would not be recommended to vape.

I use isopropyl alcohol as my cleaning agent. I soak overnight, let sit to air dry for 24 hours, then it's ready to vape again. I had a rotation of 3 LRs at all times. One vaping, one smoking, one drying.

I've switched to CE3's and Cartomizers recently though.

I hear you on the Loyalty thing.

I've been a 9'er fan since the 80's. Finally Back in the Playoffs.

As long as the 9'ers Win and Dallas & Oakland Lose, which they did, All is Good in the Football Universe.

BTW - Another thing Vinegar is Great for is Slow Running Drains. Cheaper than Drain-O and Better for the Pipes and the Enviroment.

You might want to try the vinegar and then add a few drops of lemon juice to neutralize the vinegar then rinse well with hot water.

Worth a try. But I just ordered 35 new cartos, I'll probably only do that if I run out!

With the DIY I usually run out of a test batch of juices before the carto gets fried. The good old boil a few times, soak overnight and dry off on the baseboard heater seems to work good enough for me.

Oh, I boil cartos and dry them in the oven, after I have a bunch together that are ready for cleaning. But I was asking about attys. I hear attys are better to soak in something...
