ya...there really isn't a reason to. If you end up trying to remove a lingering flavor...remove the o-ring from the cap and boil/soak it. The tubing usually comes clean with hot water and alcohol. :)

I dunno, I'm sort of a clean freak... this might be bad news!

I think you will be pleasantly surprised once you start playing with it. Once you've used it for a bit...remove the battery, juice bottle, and atomizer and run hot water through it and see how clean it comes out. You can run alcohol through it as well. As per request, I've even submerged mine in a bowl of hot water and left it for about 15 minutes. All this is fine....as long as it is dry when you re-assemble to use. Either leave it out all night to dry or use compressed air to blowout the water.

Thats really good to hear... I have a stainless steel tube mod, and I love the fact that I can rinse it in hot water, let it dry, goop it back up with noalox... and vape on with a squeaky-clean PV!

Also, juice/catch cups get funky after a while... the fact that I can run some hot water through it is great!

I purchased my mini used, and the person who sold it to me vaped honeybeez in it a few bottles before I bought it. Everything I vaped tasted like that (ugh) I ended up running hot top water through it for about 15 mins and blowing it out with some canned air. 5mins later had it all back together and vaping like a champ! I love my REOs! :)

And the only place you'll be reapplying Noalox on is the tip of your firing pin, and you can do that by putting a dab on the positive end of your battery. The REO is so easy to live with. :)

Here's another tip on a mini: To get the tube back on the nipple that goes to the atty I used a paperclip as a guide. That helped a lot. You twist and turn it and it will finally slide right on. I luv the soft tube but it sure bends easily.

After I fill a bottle with juice it will sometimes slide up the tube a little and will rattle around inside. I pull down on the bottle just a hair and it makes for a tight fit.
