Vodka will work, rum and Everclear are on my list of alternatives to ISO.

I learned from a you tube video by 420 vapezone on mighty hacks that if you take apart the cooling unit every 4 or 5 loads and wipe it out with dry q tips while its still warm, that its easy to keep it clean. I tried it, it worked, still do it, and it still works well.

Make stem milk with the cooling unit.

I think ISO will be hard to get for a while now. People are panic buying to make DIY hand sanitiser, we might all need to look at alternatives for a bit.

I ordered some alcohol wipes;

Using q-tips on a warm CU does a nice job. I try to do it daily but it's usually every 2-3 days. If you can't get q-tips you can use a rag or tissue but q-tips are easier to handle.

edit add - here's the video @shredder referenced

Dark Crystal clear glass cleaner.

cheers everybody I ordered some wipes and will try cleaning it with a q tip while its warm thanks again

I didn’t try it, but I heard it’s possible to put parts in the kitchen oven set at 120C with parchment paper underneath. You will get reclaim oil in a few minutes. Use a digital food thermometer if you choose to go this way.

I make my own XL qtip by wrapping a poker in hemp fiber and going to town on the hot CU with it. The resulting reclaim-ball is gross to vape,but potent(and contains no adhesives or other crap),so sometimes it goes in a vapcap. Most times it goes in the ABV-jar to await the oil pot.
Finish the CU off with wipes for that sparkling cleanness, or not ,if it isn't too sticky. Works for me

Thank you FCers I took a q tip around my warm cu and it cleaned it nicely thank you @shredder and @Moses Baca I have owned a mighty for 4 years and this way is so good massive thanks to you all I can now not worry about the isopropyl shortage

To those who fill up a doob tube or ziplock bag with ISO to submerge their parts in, do you think Vodka/Everclear will work as effectively for this purpose?

To those who fill up a doob tube with ISO to shake their parts in, do you think Vodka/Everclear will work as effectively for this purpose?.........As a user who usually cleans their dry, bud pieces every night Vodka works well. If its party time and Friday turns into Monday then it takes a bit more effort.

 

[hinglemccringleberry]

Gotcha. I'm assuming that adding salt to Vodka/Everclear will turbochage its cleaning performance just as it does with Iso....?
