Isopropyl Alcohol to Clean Coils?!

[kennjbroas]

I have 2 coils I want to save/clean them out.
Would it be possible to clean them out with isopropyl alcohol? Soak them in then flush it out with hot water?

Ive read online, some say good.. some say bad.

(I have no time to run to my liquor store to grab vodka)

Need opinions.

No, we use drinkable alcohol.. highest proof you can get.

Does that actually work for you? I have never had success at cleaning cotton ever

As @MrScaryZ said, ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is the only alcohol you can actually drink, or Vodka

I rinse my coils in hot water all the time... it doesn't remove all the gunk from the coil itself, but it does do a good job cleaning out the wicking.

I gave up on cleaning coils, it never seemed to make much improvement. Now I put on my 2x reading glasses and pull the coils apart and rewick or re-coil and rewick depending on the condition of the coil.

Pulse - Heat - Rinse (touch to water) - Repeat
seems to work for me

I have a doubled over pipe cleaner i will run through the holes as well to clean off the gunk, I get a few more days out of them. Honestly, @Breazy_Com sells 5 pack of VOCC coils for 15 bucks, at this point I just toss the old ones in a box with the hopes that one day I might rebuild them.

Heat them up, en-atty, quench in cold water...shocks the crap loose, brush it off, if any remains.
