Keeping Things Clean

So I used some Isopropyl Alcohol to clean a coil (I just swirled it a bit-emptied and patted dry with a paper towel). Now must I really wait 48 hours? I want to use this coil tonight
You are the captain of your own ship
48 hours is pretty long though, 6 hours should honestly be okay.

Can only tell you what I would do, I cannot tell you what you must do.

I would place in a warm spot, perhaps in a car that's standing in the sun, but with the coil out of direct sunlight, with the windows slightly open to allow the fumes to vent.

Yes, alcohol evaporates fast, but the material inside needs more time. So, I'd at least leave it for a few hours - better safe than sorry.

Please let us know how it vapes after going thru at least 1ml of juice.

Happy vaping.

BTW, remember I said that it was a summary of what I have read, not what I've done myself - I'm a noobie.

Some baby wet wipes work for everything. Sticky mod, sticky tank, spilled juice etc.

If you are impatient and end up vaping some IPA, please let us know what it is like
I am sure you will be fine, I'd personally place it infront of a heater (ones which blow hot air) and let it dry for a bit. The alcohol will evap quickly (especially if you used 90%) and if it is still a bit damp, chances are it is just the water from the alcohol but I am sure that will be dry within an hour infront of a heater.
I honestly feel its easier to just wrap new coils, but then again I don't have those complicated coils that are worth saving.
Ummm no I waited two hours and tried. Tasted like inhaling cancer 0_O
Something tells me that is not a good taste at all! lol

I eventually tried cleaning a couple of coils myself. Soaked them in some vodka overnight (do not have isopropyl alcohol) and gave them some gentle swirls now and then. Then rinsed them off with very hot water (boiled some water in the kettle then let it cool down a little).
Allowed it to dry for 2 days and then put it back in - working great FOR ME.
