Changing Flavors - Cleaning attys

[chrislaubach]

Still learning about this "miracle" hobby. Three weeks off of analogs and no real issues so far. Have already built a couple of nicobox mods to go along with a 510. As many have done, I have stocked up with plenty of spares as well as a fair share of different juices.

Question - What is the best way to get rid of the lingering taste of the last juice used when switching to a new cart/juice. Some flavors seem to linger forever despite efforts to blow out excess liquid. Others are not so bad (fruit to fruit switches are less problematic.) Any easy tips without going to full cleaning mode on the atty?

Sorry, except for priming the atty with the new flavor or priming with straight PG and vaping through it for awhile, no, a full clean is the only way to go.

I vibrate attys in straight PG to clear them of taste, but it does take awhile.

When I can keep things straight, I keep an atty reserved for fruit flavors and another for tobacco flavors, but they always seem to get mixed up sooner or later.

There is an interesting video of using a ring from a carto and attaching that to a syringe into a 510 atty and forcing PG back and forth through the atty that looks real promising, but I do not have one of those carto rings to give it a try and of course now that I am looking for it, I cannot find the video.

Soaking it in Vodka for a while, blowing them out and letting them air dry worked the best for us. We got that idea from someone on the forum here and it worked out pretty well.

I just have one dedicated atty for all fruits, one for strong flavors that I wont get rid of easily and one for everything else plus spares. I find this better than trying to remove a flavor and waste a ton of juice, and Ive got quite good at knowing which flavors will mix ok with others (like tobacco can go with anything really, and coffee really only likes toffees, alcohols, choc, tobacco but not fruit).
The spare attys are for accidents where I forgot which atty was which and made a horrible concoction, that can't be removed, and had to throw one out

+1 on soaking in vodka (151 proof). That works with attys but with cartridges of menthol and some of DV 'roasted' flavors, you need a separate cart for those.
