Vapes Is there an alternative to ISO?

[cornucopia]

I was just wondering if there is a natural alternative to iso to clean the my vape and dosing caps?

I always rinse in warm water and let the vape sit at 210 for a minute before using again, but i still find the first use a bit harsh.

Cheap Polish/Russian Vodka

Acetone as above, but again doesn't really fit your criteria - the closest thing you'll get naturally (or minimally processed) is maybe vinegar, but I don't think it's as efficient.

Personally I've never found ISO to leave a residue/taste. If you're cleaning a vape, make sure to heat cycle it once first before using it again, to make sure all alcohol is burnt off.

Ok thanks, maybe 1 minute at 210 isn’t long enough?

I was wondering if lemon juice might work ?

Lemon juice is known to react with many metals, I wouldn't risk it personally.

Reasonably that definitely should be.

Dc clear! It works great, is reusable and no nasty iso fumes only thing is you really need to heat it up to get it working but that’s easily done in the microwave and when you do it works a treat. Then because it clumps resin together instead of dissolving it you can let it cool after use and then filter it and it’s ready to use again and again. I am paranoid about cleanliness so I scrub everything with fairy liquid and rinse thoroughly after using the hot dc clear too to be extra sure but apparently it’s completely non toxic anyway. Stuff comes up completely good as new it works so well. I think it’s better than iso to be honest because in iso the resin dissolves into the alcohol then a thin film of the dissolved resin and iso is left on the vape stem or whatever you have cleaned. With the dc clear it gets stuff really as good as new it’s very satisfying and above all for me no iso fumes or residue etc.

Full fat milk and a little butter in a saucepan simmering on very low heat works great too and you can dispose of the infused milk however you see fit ️

You've just set me off on a hunt as I have an unopened bottle of this somewhere and lots of dirty glass

Haha no way happy days bro! See how you get on with it I find the hotter it is the better it works but careful as it seems to remain liquid up to about 90000 centigrade so sometimes it can be hotter than it looks

I've not actually used it before and it was bought with the best of intentions a year or so ago and I've been actively looking for it for nigh on six months and even though I'm not a constant vaper you can still imagine the state of my equipment and it's not good let me tell you so hopefully this gives it all a new lease of life

I'm looking forward to it now and maintaining my equipment has been a weak point but if it's all tickety-boo then there's no reason to not use it and even if I get it horridly wrong it'll still be an improvement

Hahah well good luck with it mate and let us know how you get on there’s not much nicer than nice fresh clean kit

I have to sluice my tackle so to speak every weekend

I always try and put it off somehow but I think because I clean the wife's too it gives me that push to get it done regularly. It's so worth it though

I bet if it was just mine I'd convince myself it could wait a day every day

Well I've finally cleaned my mighty up and also my chugga and the gunk just falls off with this stuff when it's heated ,not too sure how much has been recycled but definitely enough to repeat it again and put the rest of my glass through
