coz, what an amazing thread. i had never, ever, heard of this. and if the big dogs sayith... i beeeleaveith!
i have had a 4k, post surgical ice machine take a giant dump on me, for this exact reason, "the clog"... I'd give your left nut, to have it work, for my lovely g, today; IF i could find where i hoarded it.
but uh... perhaps u should go ahead n send samples to each of us, so we can give it a courtesy sniff, for ya. otherwise, how r u ever really gonna know? don't b stingy! you're better than that.
