Getting rid of residual flavour in tank

[morningdew]

So, I'm a NET vaper, exclusively...except for the odd occassion.

Been vaping some synthetic sweet tobacco out of my Lemo Drop.

Switched back to a NET and despite a thorough rinse and overnight soak in hot water with washing up liquid, the sweet tones from the synthetic tobacco are over riding the net.

Been thinking of a Steradent soak but any other suggestions or experiences welcome to clear the residual flavour....?

Did you change out your wick and dry burn the coil?

Oh yes always!

Been a long time since I used a tank, but I remember vodka always worked well to clean out a flavor.

Vodka is a good shout. Have already out a new coil in, so definately residual flavour in the glass and metals.

definately residual flavour in the glass and metals.

could be in the o-rings also...

For whatever reason washing in cold water helps when I need to get rid of a flavor in a tank set up.

I use vinegar. It also works for Tupperware type products.

I use Vodka, more specifically "Devil's Springs" vodka. Its cheap and 160 proof. If you can get it, give it a shot - so to speak

I've only had a problem with residual flavor on an Ijust 2 tank. It was mint, which I don't like but tried anyway, foolish me.
Glass and metal will not hold residual flavor and can easily be cleaned with just water, hot if needs be but I find cold works as well. The problem with the Ijust tank is that it has a large silicone (not sure what to call it) press fit seal for the top of the coil positioned up in the chimney that you can't take apart or remove and it was this that was holding the residual taste. I don't know if the taste had actually been absorbed by the silicone or was simply hiding underneath the seal but in the off chance it was the former I avoided using any sort of cleaner or chemicals and just used hot water baths. About 5 or 6 baths later the taste and smell were lowered to a point I could ignore them.
Even with coils and wicking I find running water over them and then letting them dry (sometimes I cheat by also giving it an ISO bath to absorb the water and then quickly evaporate) is sufficient to change juices without any residual flavor taste.

All I use is super hot water. I fill the tank half way full, put my thumb over the top, and shake. After that, I just fill, and dump with hot water 4-5 times. Next, I shake my tank over a paper towl, and take a dry cotton swap to get out any leftover water. Works great for me. I am using Ccell coils, so all I do with those is wipe any juice off on the outside, and after about 7 hits, the new flavor comes in. Never had any issues with left over flavor doing this.

I use Dawn dish washing liquid and hot water. Works for me and just remember to rinse and repeat!

vodka and and unflavoured/0nic juice. between the overnight soaking of the parts and half a cart of the unflavoured and then(several days)drying of the coil, it usually works... or changing the o-rings(the rubbre bits). hubby has gotten a few potent flavours.

I use hot distilled water (a lesson from cigar humidification, PG and distilled water are preferred over tap water), a bit of dish detergent and a coffee cup. Swish swish repeat a few times. Then I leave the tank and coil to dry (a fan or hairdryer work too) If I can still smell the flavor, I repeat.

For a RBA, new cotton, obviously.

As mentioned before I usually just half fill with water and shake a few times, Then use a bit of unflavoured liquid for a few hours, I think it helps cleanse my pallet as such haha

The thing I do for cleaning most often is to just rinse with water and dry with a paper towel.
