A baby's microwave steam steriliser? I picked up a small travel sized one of these yesterday in Morrisons reduced to £3.50. I thought it would be handy when my Grand Daughter arrives, but then I started thinking it may be useful for cleaning bits of vaping and mixing gear

Drip tips, cause I like to keep mine clean I also thought that the steam may loosen some of the gunk from gunked up coils to make it easier to get off?

It doesnt use pressurised steam though so I don't think it would work, worth a try though

metal & microwaves don't mix, so coils going in a microwave would be a definite No

I thought it would be handy when my Grand Daughter arrives, but then I started thinking it may be useful for cleaning bits of vaping and mixing gear I got one of these a while ago (from ASDA I think?) to sterilise bottles for storing nic base. I haven't tried it yet, but am hoping it will do the job

When I am mixing, I just mix a small amount ... 3ml usually.
I then put the bottle in for 3 x 7 minutes with a shake inbetween.
By doing this, I get an idea what the mix will be close to when it has had a good weeks steep (obviously not exactly as leaving it to steep naturally is the best way.)
I can then adjust mixture as needed and to get required flavour for a larger mix.
