Cleaning coils with bleach water

[Aaronhami924]

Not sure if this has been done or if this is even a good idea. But I figured I try it. Then wash with water and let dry.

This is about 8 coils soaking in bleach water, yuck

Thinking about also trying a sonic cleaner.

I assume you are cleaning clearo coils? Personally I don't like the idea and they are cheap enough that I wouldn't. If you are cleaning coils you built, I don't see the point. I would just rebuild. But for mine, I can get the gunk off with a clean burn, a rinse and another burn.

ummm... I would never ever do that..
do you add bleach water to your orange juice, or cigs, steak topping??

that is adding more compounded chemicals into your set up.. not even talking about your lungs..
how are you even sure you get all the "bleach water" back out of your coils?

what do you think high heat and rinsed off coils that have been soaking in bleach will make?

mmm I see so many wrongs with this.. please be careful.. i'd like to see you stick around and keep posting here.

Some how my brain tells me to clean something with bleach that may have some residue remaining to inhale into the lings is not a good idea, I don't care how well you clean it after a bleach soak, but that's just me.

No maybe about it, bleach always leaves a residue. On a non-porous surface like a stainless steel countertop it's OK, the residue is minimal. But it's prohibited for use on dishes and glasses in the food service industry for this reason, and should never be used for cleaning coils or attys.

please please.. vape safe..

Heat and water is all that's required. The specific method depends on the type of coil. Bleach is bad.

Ok, so not a good idea. Some of my coils like my Atlantis coils, I can't dry burn to clean, the material burns. So maybe a sonic cleaner? I dry burn my Delta C3 coils and Nautilus coils with no issue but cant with the Atlantis. And with the price of the Atlantis coils, I'd like to use them as long as possible.

Yea, going with a sonic cleaner and water is way safer.

this should make your coils last longer.. doesnt look too hard to recoil it either..

please be safe!!

I dont have time to do that. Tried my own coils, I suck at it. I need to keep the originals as long as possible.

I just rinse mine under extremely hot running water - they seem to come out nicely that way!

 

[Aaronhami924]

Ok, thanks. I'll stick to just doing that with these coils.

if you all watch the vid.. that ceramic wicking isnt too good for vaping on..
and it comes standard in each head/coil.

CLEAN WITH BEER AND FIRE!

Just be sure to use the cheap beer. Drink the good beer while you are vaping.

Plenty of good beer here
