I'm sure everyone here has re-wicked in the past only to find their hands, (and mod), covered in juice shortly after sitting down to enjoy vaping their masterpiece ... Now this isn't normally something one would brag about, so I'm not expecting a lot of likes on this post, (there are also no pics here @Resistance, for deniability sake
)
Go out and buy yourselves a litre of pure ethanol, (easy enough to obtain in these times), and;
When it happens again, strip down your mod, remove the batteries, and first rinse it under warm running water, not the batteries ... keep them aside, but everything else!
"Are you crazy?" you're saying! ... Yes I probably am, however that's a topic for another thread.
Well both VG and PG are miscible and hygroscopic, meaning they have an affinity with water, so replacing the juice with water is a fairly easy exercise under warm running water ...
Now for part two ...
Pat dry / shake off as much of the water from the above step as you can, and then immerse the pieces of mod in your pure unadulterated ethanol, giving it a bit of a jiggle in a container to get the alcohol into all the little spaces, (I would suggest the erm ... "loan" of one of your wife's smallish Tupperware containers for this step), I would also suggest at least two + of these "alcohol rinses".
So alcohol is also hygroscopic, and will bond with any remaining water, however
ethanol is volatile, (ie. has a high vapour pressure at room temperature), and will evaporate far more quickly than water on it's own, leaving behind a nice clean, (and dry), mod.
You could improve the evaporation time by placing your disassembled mod in a warm spot with moving air, and when done ... reassemble and enjoy.
Now to the alcohol you have left over from the cleaning soaking exercise above;
It now has a small quantity of water, (and flavour/fragrance) in it, and by adding a small quantity, (10 - 15% by volume), of Aloe Vera, (obtainable from your local friendly Pharmacy or Health Shop ... You would have made some "fragranced hand cleaner"
You may want to keep this sanitizer away from children, and for your own 'consumption' if you have Nicotine in your juice, however it could well become a Nic supplementation method unto itself.
As an additional tip ... some of the hand sanitizers out there don't use denatured alcohol, (ie. they haven't had the pong removed from the alcohol component, and tend to hone quite badly!) ... You can mask this horrid pong by popping in a couple of drops of your favourite vape flavour, (or in the absence of vape flavours, a couple of drops of your wife's vanilla essence).
