Is it ok to Vape a clearomiser dry?

[MarkS]

Oh I had a fantastic accident in my twenties with a camping stove whilst being heavily intoxicated.

Fortunately I came away very sore for a few weeks, but relatively unscathed considering half a canister of gas went up in my face.

It was an experience I have no intention of repeating.

Like Mark has said. Isopropyl evaporates very quickly. I would give it a good rinse out and leave to try for a day or so just to be safe.

Also, I don't recommend soaking the clear plastic tube as I believe Isopropyl can crack the plastic.(Think Macca told me that) If you can remove the head, only soak the head. If you can't an hour or two soak shouldn't do much harm, might be worth the risk.

Or alternatively, water the isopropyl down a bit.

Cheers Ewol. Mixing with water would be a good idea.

I went for it and followed the instructions from the youtube vid.
Will leave to dry overnight as I'm now sucking on a gorgeous Cappuccino carto.

See how it goes tomorrow.

Most people recommend a 306 for testing juices

Speaking of which. I had a 306 drip tip and I lost the bloody thing. I've looked under my bed and everything, it's nowhere to be found! :-S

I'm a messy bugger.

Down the back of the sofa.

Indeed Rosco

It's just not good for the forum image when members blow themselves up

And this single post just sums up everything thing that is so great about this forum....4AM, Just home from the worst night shift ever, but some things just make you smile and laugh!

I washed out the Clearomiser with the 100% Isopropyl and left it to dry overnight.
Performed a dry burn this morning and filled it with some Essex liquid.

Seems to have worked like a dream and I never ended up engulfed in a ball of flames.

No horrible tastes left behind, so I'd say it does work.
Just remember it is a highly inflammable liquid if you use it and take the necessary precautions.

Hi Mark,

Is this stuff ok: www.amazon.co.uk/AF-International-Isopropyl-Alcohol-Cleaning/dp/B000WGTZ6M/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1361442990&sr=8-4

If so i might get some as i am amazon shopping later

Morning Romelee

Mine isn't like that. It comes in a plastic bottle with a childproof screw cap.
More like this: compare.ebay.co.uk/like/130646049905?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla&crdt=0

Like the one listed there mine says it is 99.9% pure. Which apparently is the same thing as 100% pure. I believe it's down to the legalities of labeling after searching around the net last night. Could be wrong though, but there is much info saying 99.9% is as pure as your going to get.

never never run them dry, unless you want to destroy your atty

Just for reference, another good use for Isoprop is to refill Zippo lighters but it burns with a clear flame so be careful if you do this......oh, wait, we don't need Zippos any more
