Cleaning with alcohol or other flammable liquids is not recommended. Alcohol will not damage any component of the VapCap, even with prolonged soaking, but we do not recommend using it. Simple Soapy Water should be sufficent.
If your device does not seem to be working correctly, or your cap is not performing like it used to we suggest using a small amount of soapy water or your chosen cleaning solution and a cotton swab to swab out the inside of the cap instead of soaking it.
We do not suggest soaking your cap in any solution. If you choose to soak it please allow the cap to completely dry before use. We suggest allowing at least 24 hours before using the cap just in case there is still moisture in between the crimped area.
Heating your cap with moisture in the crimped area could ruin the cap
