Shoutout to the cheap ultrasonic cleaner I got for $40

It saved a batch of shimmer ink that had completely clogged my pen, just by running it for a few cycles. Anyone have a go-to cleaning solution they like to use in theirs?

Gross pens" is so real. I've had a few that made me want to just give up. That cheap cleaner is a total lifesaver.

Have you tried adding a drop of white vinegar to the water? It cuts through dried ink way better than just soap, especially for those shimmer particles that get stuck in the feed. @evannelson, you mentioned having some nasty pens that made you want to quit - this trick might save a few of those before you toss them. I use about a 10:1 water to vinegar ratio and run it for 5 minutes at a time.

Oh nice, I saw a video where someone just uses a drop of dish soap and warm water in theirs. Works like a charm for my gross pens.
