I bought a few different types of attys.
While I'm trying them out what is the best way to store the ones not in use.

I filled the bottom of a small bottle with Everpure 95% Alcohol and dropped them in there.

Do you think this will work for storing weeks or months?
Any suggestions

The ones I have in storage are
1. a Boge SR 2.5
2. a EmpireMod 1.8 Bridgeless

Eventually I'll want to store a Vapeage AMG Hybrid, while I try a Cisco SR510

Most attys have solder, insulated wires, mylar tape, paint, etc in them. Question becomes, what are the long-term effects of continuous exposure to 95% alcohol on these parts? One might think you'd be better off, keeping just the wick+coil wet with a few drops of unflavored vg/pg before storage(after your alcohol cleaning), instead of a very long soak in alcohol. 2 cents.
