atty cleaning recommendations please..

[phatfil]

MY usual cleaning agent for bits n bobs and all things stainless is unscented laundry oxi, but i dont think it was the best choice as i got a hint of mineral oil with the first tankful through the last new atty's i gave the treatment too, it seems a lot of folk use jewellery ultrasonic cleaners??  is there a recommended model???
or does the collective wisdom in here know of a more superior (cheap cheap) method??

many thanks in advance.....

I use this one but an overnight soak in hot water with bicarbonate of soda dissolved in it works pretty well phatfil

I use a little cheap ultra sonic cleaner with a little bit of fairy added then rinse after. A cheap set of needle files is handy too for cloned atty's, they typically have swarf etc to remove first.

Many thanks, the jpl7050 must be 50 better than the jpl7000 I shall give the bicarbonate of soda overnight soak a go before i spend vape ware cash on a cleaner tho..

Both the same spec from what i can tell, the only difference is the bath lifts off the base on 7050 like a cordless kettle compared to a corded one.

You don't need an Ultra Sonic cleaner. They do work well (for many things) but I rarely use mine for e-cig kit.
Nowt wrong with a soapy bath in fairy liquid, then another soak in clean water and a few rinses.

(this from the man who just rinsed his subtanks and got them vaping in about 4 minutes after arrival...)

Managed to pick up a James JPL 7000 ultrasonic cleaner from a local charity shop for £3.50 few weeks ago looked hardly used as well, works a treat, loves a bargain I do

Must admit our household doesn't have such hi-tech things as USCs, so a bowl of warm soapy water, a good agitation and then a warm water rinse followed by copious amounts of kitchen towel does me.
Be warned, ye of little faith - if you vape on a new atty without cleaning it first, be prepared for a tank full of oil-tasting juice, no matter how strong the flavour should be!
