    I use glycerin myself, but I’ll have to try vegetable oil next time.

    The other thing that greatly helps speed things along is letting the oil / glycerin sit for 5-10min, then following up with an ear syringe full of warm water. Instead of spraying directly ahead, they’re designed to safely spray to the sides, and the agitating motion of the water works well to clear the clog very quickly.
