DAYVAPE Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Have you guys seen this before? I'm sure some of you have... but I just thought I would see if anyone here has tried it yet. I'm not big into even cleaning my attys, too lazy I guess. But it is interesting to say the least... and sounds like it should work. http://www.e-cigreview.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=417 Edited May 13, 2010 by DAYVAPE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDog Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Nice find Dayvape. Very interesting way to clean atomizers. The before and after pictures were amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAYVAPE Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Nice find Dayvape. Very interesting way to clean atomizers. The before and after pictures were amazing. I know, weren't those crazy?? I had never heard of this stuff before... and I bet those popcorn machines are something else to clean! I just can't imagine what is in the cleaner itself that isn't some sort of harsh cleaning chemical! I just wonder what it is in fact made of to cut that sort of crud.

BirdDog Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I downloaded the MSDS sheet. Much of it didn't make much sense to me, ie the testing on rats. I was a bit disappointed that it listed the ingredients as "trade secret", although I can understand why. These were the warnings: Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Skin Contact: Causes moderate skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause defatting and drying of the skin. Inhalation: Causes irritation of the mouth, nose and throat. May irritate the lungs. Eye Contact: Causes moderate eye irritation. Moderate Eye Irritation: signs/symptoms can include redness, swelling, pain, tearing, and hazy vision. I just thought I would put this in this thread before people start going out and trying the stuff. I am going to keep an eye on that link you posted. I want to see what his comments are after a few more months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snubber Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I've got a few attys I've had since I started vaping on and off over a year ago. But I may just have to try this out after I see a little more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubckys Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 The smoker's Polident idea, suggested at the end of that thread, sounds safer to me. The Heat N Clean, popcorn machine cleaner, sounds great for cleaning and not so great for inhaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not convinced that the popcorn detergent will be bad inhaled. Naturally, you would rinse the hell out of the atty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think that there would be any residule left to cause any damage. With a thourough rinsing, and maybe even a little force air, I bet it would be safe. I will report my findings... if I ever decide to clean my atty's. For now, since they last me forever anyway, I will stick with my "throw away when they die" method. I've only lost 2 atty's since I started vaping... and that has been around 5 or 6 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
