@Fame Is A Vapor - Is the Purple Power flammable? If not it might be just the ticket for my ultrasonic cleaner, I know its enzyme based . . .

There is no FLAMMABLE warning on the bottle. The only warning is for POISON if swallowed. I imagine it's safe for your ultrasonic cleaner. I'd be interested to hear how it works for you.@Fame Is A Vapor - Is the Purple Power flammable? If not it might be just the ticket for my ultrasonic cleaner, I know its enzyme based . . .

I put ISO in my ultrasonic cleaner. Never had a problem. I even microwave a small cup of ISO until it boils to help with the cleaning.
Thats cool Elmo but I bet 1) you are using a low power ultrasonic unit and 2) the directions on yours say NOT to do that. Unsafe . . .I put ISO in my ultrasonic cleaner. Never had a problem. I even microwave a small cup of ISO until it boils to help with the cleaning.

I'm not even addressing the microwave aspect which is so stupid I would never try it. What I am saying is there might be a good deal of danger involved when placing flammable liquids into THE MAIN TANK of a powerful ultrasonic cleaner without proper safety protocols, and even then, if you have other options that are more safe, pursue them first. Do what you want, but don't get others into trouble . . .Perhaps. It wasn't a cheap unit so I think it's fairly powerful. I understand it's ill advised to boil ISO in the microwave but I've been doing it for a long time with no problem.
Does anyone know the science behind the VapeXNail? For instance why do we have a smile on the bottom? Is it so that if heat or something builds up it can escape without breaking glass?
I just recently gave my father my old analog Volcano to my father. It was the first vaporizer I ever purchased about 10 years ago. After about 6 months my heater failed. After it was sent in and fixed under warranty it worked for a long time with little issue. After some time the motor started to become weaker and weaker until it could not fill a bag anymore. This time it wasn't under warranty anymore and I had to pay nearly $175 to fix it. They are reliable, but even the Volcano can have issues.

I would have thought the hole at the top was for heat and vapor to escape and the "smile" was to allow air into the tube to draw the vaped substance up and out.
Once again we agree but you are preaching to the choir. If I must use flammables in my ultrasonic they are floated, in vitro, in a non flammable liquid in the main tank and seriously ventilated. I did start a short thread on the subject . . .I have ruined a cheap plastic ultrasonic cleaner with iso. Nothing arcs inside the machine, so the fire issue of a 100ml layer of iso wasn't a concern, and I figured it'd last a while if I was re-bottling the iso between cleanings, but this wasn't the case. Within a few sessions the plastic lid started to stick closed, and within about twenty or so the machine failed completely, and would no longer turn on. So, on reflection, if you are absolutely set on putting iso in an ultrasonic cleaner, use a more expensive metal-tanked one with a metal lid, and remote electronic on the side, where they'll never see the vapour that leaks from the lid. Or, just use ethanol. It's not as good a solvent for resin, but it's almost as good, has a much lower vapour production than isopropanol, and most importantly, doesn't destroy or dissolve plastics. US folks might want to try Everclear or some other grain-neutral 95% spirit.
@elmomuzz - Yes but if you are posting here, in this forum, as a member of the Beta Test Crew, I would submit you have an obligation to the less experienced readers to issue fair warning when sharing your anecdotal wisdom . . .Call it stupid if you want. I've been doing it for years without issue. It can't be worse then double boiling butane on the stove top. (I don't do this but I know many that do)
Just so I don't sound to crazy here is how I use ISO in the ultrasonic. I fill a red solo cup with about an inch of ISO. And then I lower that into the cleaner filled with water. The sonic waves transfer into the cup. I don't close the lid. This is how I clean my elbs.

And also notice one side of the smile goes higher than the other, I bet this adds a sweet vortex effect and helps with the efficiencyDoes anyone know the science behind the VapeXNail?
