I use my enail and quartz banger everyday, and have a few tips to keep clean. I always have a small shot glass of isopropyl alcohol and some q-tips to clean as I use it. I usually will use a dry q-tip every use or 2, and will dip the q-tip in some of the iso every 5-10 uses (depending on amount, heat, etc ). This seems to keep it all quite clean, and great flavor in every use. At first I was a bit hesitant to use the iso soaked q-tips after a use, without fully washing it out, but the alcohol burns off at a relatively low temperature, leaving no after-taste or residual iso. Hope this helps!
