So trying ot new flavors from gourmet vapors, tryed Licorice triple flavor and Banana Foster and both were good, but then I tryed the Maiden Coffee and it made me nauseous and gave me a headache, I been using quite a bit of my other flavours to try and kill the coffee, but it just wont die, any tips?

Try blowing it out into a tissue.

If that doesn't work then switch to your spare atomizer and rinse your atty out with hot water, shake/blow it out and set it to dry. You could also then give it an alcohol bath for a bit (pure grain alcohol bit if you use rubbing alcohol instead remember it is poison). Then shake/blow out and and let dry well. I do not really recommened cleaning if you don't have a spare atty. Get a spare atty.

I've found coffee flavors to be a real pain to clean out. Here is my method for cleaning. First, soak the atty in PGA, for at least an hour. If it's a REALLY stubborn flavor it may need to soak overnight. Once it has soaked really well, rinse it with VERY hot water. Be careful not to burn yourself, as I have:evil:

Let it dry out. There are a number of different methods for quick drying, some people use the oven, some people use a hair dryer, I use the back of my computer monitor as it has several vent holes on it and they get nice and toasty.

After I am confident the atty is dry, I do a dry burn, which means putting the atty on a battery and pushing the button on it to get the heating element hot. This will burn off any residual juice or gunk that is still stuck to it. DO NOT HOLD THE BUTTON DOWN FOREVER! You'll fry the atty. 5-10 second bursts seem to do the trick.

Also, if you are going to look down into the atty while dry burning, wear some sort of protective glasses as they can pop and send lava hot debris flying which could get in your eye. Trust me when I say it really really really hurts.:mad:

If I have an atty that won't shake the flavor, no matter what, I'll drown it in a French Vanilla I really love until the flavor of the offending juice drops off to nil.

Excellent advice from dormouse.

I will just add that you shouldn't forget to get the filler out of the cartridge (if you use one) and dry it by pressing it between two layers of paper-towels. Quite a bit of juice can stay there for a long time. wile you are at it, you should also use a piece of the towel to wipe the inside of the cartridge as best as you can.
