Stickyness

[thatrandy]

I'm a tad OCD, and I hate having things be sticky.... and I feel like my vape gear gets sticky easily..... any tips on how to prevent this stuff from happening, and how to get my stuff un sticky after it happens?..... I feel a wet paper towel does not do that trick most of the time..... yeah this is a weird question

I use some Alcohol on a paper towel daily to wipe down my PV's. A wet wipe may also work but I don't remember to buy them.

When you exhale do not exhale onto your device. Takes some getting used to.

Wet paper towel gets the job done. And i pre-wipe everything before opening a tank or juice bottles. Im OCD as well, but 99% of the time nothing is sticky. Plus some juices are harder to clean then others. So youll have to use more water and more paper towels.

You first step is to figure out why things are getting sticky, so find the root cause of issue.

This, right here. I actually have a spray bottle with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl and water that I use for cleaning windows and mirrors, it works great to wipe just about anything down, better than just plain water, and it leaves no residue behind.

I think the alcohol did the trick <3

I prefer toilet paper , my messes and dripps seem small enough that a square of TP will do the trick, I used alcohol when i started also but a dry wipe is all i need now I should add that I dont use any flavored juice, just Menthol, which may help when its time to clean up

Alcohol is great and I like denatured alcohol even better. I find it isn't quite as harsh as isopropyl and lacks the odor. Think I paid about $5 for a quart at my local hardware store.

I wash, wipe and clean in the cheapest vodka I can buy.
But it has secondary uses as well!

Well, I would be ashamed. Any upstanding OCD'er carries alcohol wipes and sanitizing spray with them at all times.

I am just kidding, of course. But those that know me well enough, know I too have a slight issue with OCD. (drives me crazy that they can't even come up with initials that are in alphabetical order), but I hope the suggestions here help and I wish you well.

Coat your mod with cooking spray, the stickiness won't stick.

Funny short story... My son's initials are ABC.

On topic, what is making people's mods sticky? Am I missing something here?

Juice is sticky-ish. Often when refilling, you get some on the outside of juice holder, then on hands, on mods etc.

I use a needle tipped bottle to fill, and if it's a new wick job that turns out to leak, I wipe everything down with a terry cloth immediately. That's all I've ever needed for mine to not get sticky.

I don't get my gear sticky very often but it does happen occasionally. So I keep some baby wipes handy. Cleans up like a treat.

Happy vaping.

My OCD makes it feel like this must be said... but if you're doing that, use a clean roll you keep somewhere, don't grab a square from the bathroom. They've done studies showing that's one of the dirtiest places in your house due to plumes from the toilet, etc.

Ive cleaned it, very well, and I still feel that its sticky.... Sigh (
