Bottom feeders and switching flavors - what can I expect?

[Giraut]

I'm about to order my first bottom feeder. One of the things that attracts me to these things (aside from gaining as much experience as possible before designing my own vaping system) is the ability to switch flavors reasonably quickly using the same atomizer.

One thing I'd like to know is this: say you vape juice A from bottle A, you unscrew bottle A and screw on bottle B: how long before the bridge is saturated enough with juice B - and juice A is driven out - that you can say you're vaping only juice B? I suppose strong flavors like menthol will linger around longer too...

I'm a bit of a flavor switching freak, but I'm willing to stick to a given flavor longer (say up to half a day) if it doesn't take 2 hours to transition to another flavor. Otherwise I'll turn my bottom feeder into a single flavor thingy, but then I won't order extra bottles from the vendor. Hence my question.

Hi Mate,
What topper will you be using? RBA, LR510, 306?
Head on over to HERE

Many like-minded folks abound.

Probably an RBA, but not LR. The mod won't be a Reo though: Great devices, Reos, but I can't stand mechanicals.

Hard to advise without the mod type. Reo has a better feeding system for juice than any other bottom feeder Ive experienced (not requiring you to invert the whole mod when you squonk to feed the atty), so every bottom feeder *is* different and its rather hard to say how long you will experience flavor ghosting without further info.

I can tell you ,for me, I top drip when I just want a taste and I do swap out bottle A for bottle B when I want a longer time with a different flavor. My flavors are not of a clashing or overpowering nature (like anise to watermelon or something) so I only get ghosting for a few puffs if at all. I also blow out my feed tube when I switch - but I am not certain as to what you will have and if you will even have a feed tube.

I hope this is at least a little helpful, but with vague info the best I can do is kind of a generalized answer.

Wick dependent, 30 seconds to 4 mins to change flavours.
Tell us a bit about the BF device if you want more specifics.

Have fun

Cool, a few puffs to 5 minutes to get rid of flavor bleedover is good enough for me. I understand it depends on the particular mod / atty. I was only looking for a rough idea of how long I should wait. Some of my clearos can take 2 tankfuls, depending on the first juice, even after rinsing. A few puffs is two orders of magnitude less wait.

FWIW, the mod in question is a Cigaverte Firebox.

You should be looking at the same switch over time for flavors to clear out. If you use an RBA change your wick if flavor b is lighter than flavor a and it will make a big difference. Looks like you need a 510-510 adapter with a hole to use an RDA on this guy, enjoy it!
