vibrating motor cleaner

[darkkmail]

Just thought id share...don't have a camera at hand so

-A regular weighted dc toy motor, taken from xbox controller (as i remember, may be wrong)
-centrum multivitamin cap,

Notes:

-it's connected to a 1.5-12v adapter (using 4.5v)

-the atomizer stays as it is in the picture (if i choose to), it actually rotates while hitting the top and bottom side of the atomizer (May be hard to replicate the spinning without the same cap)

-i've only tried 100% rubbing alcohol so far, next time it needs to be cleaned, i'll try water, the alcohol I believe does more dmg than good. Ive found, with alcohol, the atomizer struggles at first, even when primed, but it returns stronger than ever after a few puffs.

joined to ask: how did you connect them and would tapingg work??? also how long would 2 AA battereis keep this motor going??

 

[darkkmail]

I used hot glue.. you could use superglue, or even tape.. be creative..

not sure how long the batteries would last, or if it will even provide enough power for good agitation

just realized I should've put this in: Experiments with equipment as that's where all the atomizer cleaning threads are... Moderator please move it, thank you

I have used an ultrasonic cleaner, which is essentially the same thing. Very inexpensive, self contained, and hassle free.
I used one meant for my electric razor, but a jewelery cleaner is the same, just a different color.

I only used the cleaner when I first started vaping and have since learned that a simple soak is adequate and less trouble.
