Tanko cleaning

[rawrrrdino]

so I think I'm the most ingenious person in the world at the moment, and I wanted to share something I figured out just the other day to make tanko cleaning quicker and easier, but obviously won't work for everyone BUT it's a brilliant (I think so anyway) idea.

I have a Keurig coffee maker, and I bent a large paper clip that can be adjusted to be able to hold either m-tankos or i-tankos. I filled the tank (for the coffee maker) up with filtered water and just held the tankos under the stream of hot water coming out. so far, it's worked amazingly. I've always had a problem with heating water until it is wayyy too hot and then having to leave it sit. then I forget about it, and it gets too cool to be effective. which just repeats the cycle and takes me forever to actually go about getting them clean.

Sorry I did not tell you about this sooner, I honestly thought I had. But you are correct, this is the best method I have found for cleaning tankos. I started using it a few months ago and I am starting to think it might be why I have gotten such long life from my tanks. Since I didn't tell you, that makes us both brilliant.

Wow this is a really great tip! I will have to try it. I know the hotter the water the better and this would be some hot water pushing through the tanko. I have been trying to figure out a way to hook a pump system up to my tankos so that I can have water pushing through them all night long. Now that would be a clean tankomizer!

I just let it run through. I normally use 2 coffee cups of clean water. I just need to make something to hold the tanko in place now so I do not have to sit there and hold it under the stream of hot water.

yeah... I cleaned an m-tanko this way after pushing about 5 tanks of choconilla haze through it which has always been a tough one for me to get out. within 15 minutes, I was vaping sweet tarts from the same tanko and had absolutely NO undertones of the choconilla at all.

Yeah, it does the same thing with my bubble gum. I am debating trying it on an old atty with wintergreen flavor. That has been the hardest one I have had to get out of an atty.

I put about 6 cups of hot water through the i-tanko I have with clove in it, and I can still smell cloves on the tanko... don't know how succesfully I'm gonna get that flavor out, but when I get my juice order tomorrow I'm gonna run some vanilla bean through it and try again to see if that will help any more.

I think there are some flavors that just don't want to come out. I try to separate my attys and tankos for different things. I usually keep one just for fruity flavors and one for my sweets flavors. You might just have to put a couple tanks through it and vape the clove away.

Yeah, you've got to be careful with the strong flavors...cinnamons, menthols...stuff like that just sticks around...coffee is another one....and, apparently, clove too...LOL

all's good in the world. putting vanilla bean through it makes it taste like a chai latte which is one of my favorite drinks in the world.
