Cleaning Volcano.

Post by bigjohn »

What precisely is "cleaning alcohol" :?:

My Volcano is due a post 4:20 cleaning and I'm not sure what cleaning alcohol is. Is it a meths, white spirit type of thing or Vodka :shock: :shock: or something else completely?

Thanks
John

"Rubbing" Alcohol.
Isopropyl Alcohol.
Isopropanol (sp?).

Thanks Mazdog. It makes sense now, surgical spirit.

I was thinking of getting that old bottle of gin from the back of the cupboard & using that :D

Cheers

Does anything on the actual base of the volcano need cleaning? And should i take apart all the joints/extensions for it before cleaning with alcohol? Any other tips or recommendations, want to be careful with my new badass investment.

Download the operating manual here.

The English version starts about page 16 and it does include cleaning instructions.

I clean screens, filling chamber and etc. w/70% Isopropycl alchohol,about once a week. I take it all apart about every 3-4 weeks as needed and clean all the parts. Change bag every 3-4 weeks or prn. If you follow cleaning instructions that came w/it should be no problem. Keep on vapin or tokin or whatever. :D
