to anyone else here using Jodi Vac , how much time do you clean each ear/shell ?

just curious if there is a minimum of time needed in order for the cleaning of each shell

thanx

I use it and I love it. Prior to having one, I could hear rattling noises at high volume. I seriously thought my drivers were dead. But after having the Jodi Vac, I realised they were foreign substances causing the rattling. Now I clean all my in-ears once a week, about 5 minutes of cleaning and vacuuming per shell.

I probably only take 1-1.5 minutes per ear. My ears don't generate tons of wax, so it's just a matter of getting rid of the tiny specks that may build-up over time.

Are these VAC useful also for universal IEMs?

After reading twister's review I'm interested in this one:
https://www.firaudio.com/store/the-headphone-vac-jr

The difference between CIEM and IEM is a nozzle shape (in general), and regardless if you have open bore nozzle or mesh covered nozzle, FIR audio vac has tips for either one. Jodi vac is similar in operation/functionaly, but it's less heavy duty and I think it only comes with a needle tip. FIR comes with a metal and a flexible needle tip and a wide tip for mesh covers, i'm sure you seen it in my review here.

I see they're out of Washington. Makes sense they'd be from a state where cannabis is legal. That logo dosen't imagine itself without the creative help of the hippy lettuce.

Anyone know what a corn loving rabbit has to do with iem vacuuming? All I got is kernels of wax?? Possibly what sustains the little guy all winter??

They both have ears? I'm from Colorado. We know these things.

I don't think so. Impressions will most likely come within the next month or so, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them all being rave reviews.

Hah.
Imagine the net meltdown "Hey guys, you know those $$$$$$ ciems I ordered? They suck, avoid" :):)

@twister6 :dt880smile: going straight to the source, like Pablo Escobar. Its actually an interesting story, the Vac was suppose to be produced in Iowa (where the hippy lettuce is not legal). I have lots of cousins in Iowa. The "ears" of corn is what the bunny lives on all winter, as do people in Iowa :wink: "Ears" of corn is correct. He doesn't have a name yet, we're going to do a naming contest on social media. Whoever comes up with the best name for the bunny gets a Vac. Maybe after he gets a name there can be a short story about his life at the farm in Iowa and his journey to washington. As to what kind of lettuce he eats i'll leave to speculation.
