The properties in the vodka that help clean the carto are useless once you see the color change. After an hour - /+ remove the carto and then flush with a syringe as mentioned before.

Thanks very much AttyPops. I'm going to try and clean my VVN using a combination of hot water (hand hot) first and then submersion in vodka overnight. This includes the tank and attie with the wicks. Am I good to go?
I use Everclear 190 proof to clean things. No way in heck I'll ever take another drink of that stuff
Is there not an quick, inexpensive and reliable way of cleaning this stuff like an ultrasonic cleaner?
I wash with hot water and dryburn the heads rinse and keep going. My heads last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. Have not had a coil burn out completely yet. It isn't luck cause I don't have any.
IDK how that works with the plastic parts.....may work, may not. IDK.
Some do use an ultrasonic cleaner. I haven't tried it though.
I've wondered the same thing. An ultra sonic cleaner with alcohol or distilled water for a 10 minute cycle.
I used to use alcohol to clean my cartos,,,,
now I use coke,,,,,,,yep, coke. As in coca cola. someone told me to try it, and I was amazed how well it worked,,,,,
I just flush it out with water after soaking for an hour or so,,,,,,

I'd rather not add any more sugar to the attie's and other components. Coke contains acidic acid which is probably why it cleans. I'm looking for a total quick clean. I may invest in an ultrasonic cleaner. I'm surprised others haven't posted that they've bought one and if its good or bad
Do a search. It's here. There are posts. It's good that you're thinking though....
I have gone back and forth with the vivi nova heads. Soaking in vodka/boiling in water.
I've also thought of using a can of compressed air but warning label on back has scared me away from that idea so i might just fire up my small compressor for that job.
I've used an ultrasonic cleaner, but with mixed results. I've since switched to rebuildables, but as I recall, my best results were actually with a no-name brand of cola. I let them sit there a day or two, then rinsed them out well. Concentrated vinegar mixed with glycerine also works pretty well. After soaking, I'd hold the atomizer with a pair of pliers and pour boild wather through them from both sides to remove any residue. Afterwards they were almost as good as new.
