Have you tried methyl hydrate, aka gas line antifreeze, to soak your screens?

I've been finding to be less expensive and works better than isopropyl.

My suggestion would be putting your screens in a ziploc bag with some methyl hydrate, shake, leave for a hour or so, shake, and continue until clean. Leave the screens to dry outside on paper towel; it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes in the sun and fresh air to evaporate all the alcohol.

Your milage may vary, but this works for me.

Yeah I pissed on the rug...... so what
I use a shot glass , only just enough 99% iso to slightly submerge the screen, hold with a pick tool and scrub with a s&b brush, takes a minute and cleans 100%, rinse with hot water, reinstall, done.

I do the glass thing too, but I also use a ziplock filled with alcohol to give things a shake.

Every bit of hardware is unique. I do however, like things that are easy to clean. The glass tubes in the Arizer can be a pain in the ass, but they are so easy to clean.

I usually clean most of the vape kit, including screens and glass on the day it gets used. Most everything gets a soak and shake in a basin of ISO or a squirt and scrub for bigger parts. Afterwards it gets a hot tap water rinse and back into service. Every once in a while a piece will get a warm water and Simple Green overnight simmer followed by an ISO and water rinse to help lessen the Simple Green smell.
