The smell/taste issue is real for me too.
Here’s what I have done so far to help get rid of it:
- Soaked all pieces in hot, soapy water. Rinsed well.
- Did several burn-offs with ABV.
- Swiped oven with ISO while heated.
- While doing burn-offs, I blew air through the airholes at bottom to force air through mp without having to inhale ABV. (Not the whole time, just several times).
- Soaked silicone pieces in coconut oil for 10 minutes and wiped off to help neutralize the smell/taste.
It’s definitely better, but still there a bit. Plan on following advice of
@OF and others about letting it air out tonight. I will leave a fan on with all the pieces spread out overnight.
Once the bad taste goes away, I think there is a lot to really like here. I look forward to putting it through the paces over the next few days!
