Ultrasonic Cleaners

[Summer]

I think as the ceramic crucible ages, they become porous. No? I personally wouldn't use SG even though it's labeled non toxic .

they become porous.

Thanks for the tip, I hate how the smell of detergents and such can get into silicon (I made the mistake of adding a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid into my ultrasonic cleaner water as the instructions said...never again with porous parts as it took forever to get rid of the smell from silicon/rubber)

This is amazing info. I'm definitely adding a ultrasonic cleaner to my VAS list haha.

This unit would be great to clean things like the Flowermate cap or vapes that have plastic pieces. No matter how small. I noticed a lot of my vapes have small plastic pieces to hold a screen or something.

hope it helps.....

Edit : first use was full strength 1oz of cleaner, I have since tried a cap full (1/4 oz.) and think two cups( 1/2oz.) Is perfect ...I got three rounds of cleaning off one usc full tank and don't empty until I can't see bottom lol!...so ideally you get 16 rounds of cleaner times two to three rounds...so 48 or so cleanings for $5 ....done!

You make a good point. Well, I’m willing to keep using them in my UC to see if it does erode. (For the sake of of course, not laziness )

I have only ever used tank water or iso in a container in the water bath, that stuff might go further if you treat it like iso and keep it in a container then dump the cleaned items in the water to rinse.

Is your usc blastproof? I was told unless it is , even .the odor could cause a blast... @kiddvudu2 shared this with me...

I was diluting 70 water/ 30iso and stopped doing as I don't want.to go boom! Confusion for sure


Thanks for info!

That link won't work for me, I never use iso directly in the machine, only in a water bath next to my open workshop door for good ventilation as you should do whenever using iso
I only use 100% iso in a test tube or beaker in the UC water bath.
Over 2 years doing this almost daily and I have not blown up once.

Hey everybody! Just thought I would check back in here at FC and give a little update now that my life has settled down a bit.

I'm using a new ultrasonic cleaner I purchased on Amazon. This unit is very promising. It's heated, has variable cleaning power, has an anti-gas mode, and a drain valve. I'm testing its cleaning abilities using suppressor parts, which get extremely dirty and can be very challenging to clean, so far the results are excellent.
