Hey everyone, I was just cleaning out some of my clearomizers with vodka as advised, and it's now soaking in warm water....but I started thinking what if some vodka stays in there on the coils am I gonna blow my face off?

no, You won't. back in the day, some people would use vodka in their DIY juices.
I'm not a chemist, but I believe that a thorough warm-water rinse will get rid of the vodka, at least to the point where it's not flammable.
(Anecdotal evidence: I've been cleaning w/ vodka, then rinsing, for about 8 months now. Still have my face!

With attys many of us cleaned them with vodka or PGA (190 proof) and then let them sit for a couple of hours and started vaping without an issue. PGA and vodka evaporate much more quickly than water. In fact, I would skip the water part and just use PGA. Plus, once you add the eliquid there is no concern about the PGA.
If you put your cursor over the letters PGA, it will give you the meaning. Pure Grain Alcohol.

Doh!
Is that aka Everclear?
I've been a Member here a Long Time.
And in that Time, I have only heard of 17 People who's Face was Blown Off from Residual Vodka on a Atomizer Coil.
Lucky guess
Doh!

I believe that Any Grain Alcohol that is 95% Alcohol by Volume (190 Proof) is considered to be PGA.
So Everclear or Clearspring is considered to be PGA.

Is that aka Everclear?
Yes, that is a popular brand of PGA.
The Everclear available in my town is now 151 proof instead of 190, but we have Volkov which is 190.

Thun ov a bith, make tha 18
I don't think so. Isn't regular rubbing alcohol flammable as well? As long as you cleaned your batteries properly I don't see why it would be flammable at all.
Since I started soaking in PGA, my iclear16 coils outlast my wicks. I can use them for over a month!
