Ultrasonic cleaner

[VandaL]

The other day I told my wife that vaping is now a hobby that doesn't need a whole room to do, Like for example my model building or Gaming, or my guitar collection, or my diving.

Guess I will need to go back and rectify that mistake.



Is the ultra sonic cleaner a must have for steeping, or a nice to have?

I believe one hour in a USC is equivalent to 1 week of steeping so it speeds things up immensly, you can also use it to clean mechs, attys, jewerly etc. Quite a handy little thing. The reason I'm super interested now is cuz I cleaned two Stingray X's this weekened and it was such a pain in the butt.

U.S Cleaner is not a must have, it just speedup steeping and great for cleaning about anything, even your wife's jewelry. A Jeweler will ask you roughly R80 to clean your wristwatch in an u.s cleaner.

Thanks @VandaL , Ok dont need to go back to my wife and explain. I like the long 1 or 2 week steeps. Makes me feel like a wine maker

Cleaning on the other hand, maybe I am just a sucker for punishment, but I like to sit down with a good vape in the one hand and my cleaning kit in the other.

I read on some page that A guy uses a wooden box with mesh like shelves to steep. the box has one of those heat pads they use in terrariums on the bottom for heat. Any one else heard of this?

Folks are using all kinds of things for heat seeping now days, routers, USB coffee warmers and now crockpots are all the rage

From my recent experiences I'm going to say it's a nice to have for commercial liquids, and a must have for DIYing

Grant says R1699 + vat = R1936 + R150 or so for shipping. The problem is he's closed atm and will only be available on the 27th. Guess I'll wait since this machine looks far more homey then the one on bid or buy

 

[VandaL]

USC on the way R1851-00 with shipping. http://goptics.co.za/?page_id=2406

Wanted to ask the USC veterans what the best mix is to achieve optimal cleaning

 

[zadiac]

Water and vodka mixture. Or just water. Or just vodka. Your choice.

I'd rather just drink the vodka... lol

 

[zadiac]

Hahaha

 

[VandaL]

So you say some cheap vodka would do the trick? how much do you have to put in, I'm getting the same machine rob has

 

[VandaL]

Would it be bad to put some metal polish on my Mechs/attys and place them inside the machine for it to clean? Would the polish damage the machine? Or would I just end up with mechs/attys that look like they've just been shined

Got this,

 

[Rob Fisher]

Personally I would use the polish first then wash it off and then put it in the USC.


Sent from my REO filled with VM Menthol Ice with a drop of coconut!

@VandaL the ideal solution for US cleaner as used by jewelers, watchmakers and electronic pcb production guys etc: 70% distilled water + 30% Isopropyl Alcohol.

From Gunky to Funky in 12mins Didn't realize how dirty she was till I ran it in the machine That Insulator may need a few more mins but compared to what it was, that's a massive improvement. Put it in with the build because I'm lazy
