Attys and strong flavors

[tornado9015]

I tried puresmoker.com's curtis' clove flavor, it is quite delicious, but when I attempted to switch flavors, it was all I could taste, I tried thyestean's atty resurrection technique, which can be found here, http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/69834-my-atty-resurrection-method-2.html. After doing that, there was an awful burnt taste, and still a hint of the clove. So I soaked that atty in rubbing alcohol for almost a full day. After a few hours I tried to use the atty, and let me tell you, that was a terrible idea, I could taste the rubbing alcohol, and I think the burnt taste was still there. I will try again tomorrow, but I think that atty may be forever ruined.

Does anybody have a great way of getting rid of strong flavors? Or does anybody simply accept that a flavor is too strong, and designate an atty to that flavor forever.

From what I've read here, you pretty much have to designate an atty or carto to a particular flavor. Clove is a major culprit - I have a clove carto myself, and that is all it will ever be. I've heard that some liquids use oil, and that makes the stronger flavors harder to rinse out, but I'm not sure exactly which vendors do that.

Sorry I don't have better news...

I have one atty for menthol, one for tobacco, one for sweets and one for experimental DIY. I then have a couple others on hand for emergencies. I am using mostly cartos now, and that makes it a bit cheaper. But for my eGo, I bought a bunch of eGo mega attys when they were on sale fro a great price. And BTW, when you use Iso alc, you MUST rinse it off well in water first, then let it dry before using. Iso is no good for you.

there's some videos that show how they soak the attys in soda(either club soda or pepsi) over night, i have not tried this yet but i mite give it a shot, it mite clear out the strong flavor too that was used before in the atty.

i had the same problem when i started, everything, every flavor had a hint of menthol. i pretty much had to learn to designate my own menthol flavored atty. i get most of my juice from awesome vapor and aside from the menthol, they clear out pretty well

I tended to use just one flavour due to this problem, however, I now have the AVS for the GGTS which holds 6ml of juice so I do not change flavours now.

It also sounds like you took the atty out of the alcohol and vaped right away. You need to let it sit out of alcohol for about 24 hours before trying to vape.

I agree with MRGRIMME, but you could also drain the atty by placing some tissue inside then leave it upside down over night. This may do the trick.
