I give my attys a bath in a heated ultrasonic cleaner with a couple drops of dish soap once a week. It's amazing what comes out of the attys which look clean to begin with. Any new attys I get are put in a 30 minute bath at 160 degrees at full ultrasonic power. Gets the manufacturing crud and machine oil out of the smallest crevice.
Huh, some people are pretty fickle about clean I guess.
I clean my attties when they are new, with Dawn and hot water. Give em a good rinse. Same with new drip tips.
I rarely clean atties, unless they get contaminated with something. Drip tips, I clean weekly, if I am using it. Otherwise they are sealed in a box when not used.
I wipe my mods down when they look dusty or dirty.
I'm just not too concerned with keeping my gear uber sanitized. Heck, I don't even own a ultrasonic cleaner.

Well, if I could afford Everclear, I'd drink it, not clean atomizers with it.
Check the liquor prices ova here in WA: http://liquorwa.appspot.com/
We have around 28% taxes on liquor, plus an additional tax rate for 1Liter and over too. And, our Everclear is crippled to 151 proof.
Wiping down drip tips with a paper towel dampened using 50% ABV Isoproypl Alcohol mixed half and half with water, then dried with a microfiber towel is not going to hurt a thing. It evaporates nearly instantly. Anything left is wiped away.
I suppose ya never used it for first aid either?
Yes I have but I prefer to not use it for vape gear and having Everclear around is also handy for some of my Ejuice recipesWell, if I could afford Everclear, I'd drink it, not clean atomizers with it.

I let the dog lick it. Sometimes wine drips off my beard onto an atty & she likes it. Dogs like sweet.
I scare Rob Zombie.
Once I danced with the Devil I stepped and his toes and he cried ..hahaI scare Rob Zombie.

In WW II they used grain alch in torpedoes. The U.S. sailors found this out and drank it. Then the torpedo was useless & U Boats blew them out of the water. I poor a shot of 190 in my wine on occasion.
I'm probably one of the 'dirty' people in here too. lol
Rarely go to the doctor or dentist, most of the time my hands only get washed when I take a shower in the evening, don't clean my vape gear very often, and, I rarely get sick from 'normal' things (had a hernia, carpel tunnel, root canal, and had to go to the ER for antibiotics due to an infected rat bite). I might get a mild cold once in a while, but it's clear in a few days.
Don't know if anybody has put any thought into it, but what are the temperatures of the coils in our gear and the temperature of the steam?
The simple act of vaping could be disinfecting our gear.

Same reason you should wipe down your remotes, controllers, keyboards, etc at least once a week...
I do drip tips every night (just a quick wash and rinse with Dawn in a dish rag) The mods get a wipe down when I do the remotes, etc, as above.. Every day is a bit much though, unless you shared with a sick person, or are immune suppressed.

This is why the Docs have started reducing the amount of antibiotics they give out...Along with what you said, it destroys your gut bacteria and leaves you susceptible to C.diff (not fun, and is for life) and does NOT reduce the amount of time you have the sniffles... At all.

Are you sure you had a bacteria infection? A cold is viral... If your ear started hurting that also made pain in your neck, throat, shoulder, armpit, etc, AND took 4 months to go away, chances are it was NOT bacterial, but viral.. Otitis Media
Forgot Candida over growth, not bacteria or viral but some shit that fungal and a helluva hard to fight.

You need one with at least 20billion to do any good.. Less is just a waste of money.. The lady-in-the-know at John Hopskins also said to only take when you are on antibiotics, after diarrhea, etc... and, if you do take it just boost, you are better off taking for 2 weeks, then off and repeat after 30 days.

I went in with a cough and sneezing, thought I had a cold. Dr.. said ear infection, ... scrip, I checked my self and asked, to make sure it mixed with my other meds. I can't take most crap because of the meds. Back in two weeks.... this time Dr. says sinus and throat. Script !!More Antibiotic's !. I've had them panic over an EKG, if they've not taken one on a transplanted heart. Looks different. The VA is almost all ways an adventure. lol Best ( easiest ), place for me to get sick..... the VA. My biggest problem is I have a different PC every year, if not every six months. One see the hearing aids, not just for show, and two, most are heavy, on the VA's 16 min. rule.
Good advice thanks for all the info

I see it all the time (I'm a nurse). The bad thing is that those mutated resistant germs are out there and if you can't shake em naturally the only thing that can fight em is antibiotics on steroids like Vancomycin. Those types of antibiotics are very hard on the kidneys. Anyway, being clean is a good thing to prevent the spread of the "super germs". Being clean is not the same as being sterile! That being said, I am NOT a neat/clean freak! I wipe my gear down daily but pretty much because I've spilled a little juice! I'm careful of where I set my tanks, coils and juice when I'm reloading, probably from habit...when I administer eye drops or remove caps from liquid meds I set them on some type of barrier like a paper towel with the inside of the cap facing up not touching any surface...

Yep, I like that solution. It evaporates quickly. I hit the the DT with a 100% water wipe after to leave no IP residue / taste. Glass wipes (no detergent) / medical wipes work in a pinch too. I always have glass wipes around. The everclear results are great but that stuff cost $20/l here (and 150 proof at that).
OK can I just be dumb here? I had honestly never even considered the possibility until I came across this thread. Do not get me wrong, I kept my vape clear, but I never did it because I was worried about infections or things of that nature. Now I will double my cleaning duties
15 years out of liver transplant for me. I use alcohol wipes for drip tips. Check out germ-x hand sanitizing wipes for your hands and other nasty things you must touch in public. Immune suppession tip is never touch your face. I do elevators, crowds, and hospitals almost daily and so will you.........eventually! To life

Yeah, I go through Germ-X like most folks do soap and water. I'm 16 years out, ( heart), and now there talking kidney transplant. Just don't think I want to go through, replacing any more parts.15 years out of liver transplant for me. I use alcohol wipes for drip tips.

ever hear of everclear 151, not as alcohol high content (151 proof grain alcohol) but is alot more inexpensive
http://www.bevmo.com/Shop/ProductDe...ys/Everclear/Everclear-151-Grain-Alcohol/3709
nope but I think that might work as well and probably easier to make a yummy drinky with
I will look it up around here all I see is the 190 proof
