cleaning vaporizer whip

anyone use a vaporizer..how do you clean the whip? how often should the whip be changed?

 

i have an arizer extreme, with whip or bag options. i only use the bag. i change the bag every few months as i notice it get sticky and dirty. i clean the screens regularly and the tubing leading to the bag as well.

for the tiny tube part i use water and Q-tips
it doesn't work great but you can't use iso alcohol with plastic tubing

 

i havent cleaned ours yet, but i will probably use rubbing alcohol and some salt for an abrasive. it works on everything else.

 

.

 

I looked up online what to clean with and other people also mentioned using alcohol

pork, what's wrong with using alcohol?

 

is it made of flexible plastic?

i think rubbing alcohol will dissolve the plastic a little bit. maybe it's alright, but i wouldn't do it. my arizer extreme's instructions says to use rubbing alcohol to clean the glass parts and the metal screens, but to NOT use it for the plastic tubing.

 

it says

"Do not soak the vinyl tubing in alcohol as it may absorb the smell/taste"
