Changing flavors

[rsgars]

So, I own three attys and seven different flavors of juice. Any pointers for clearing one flavor from an atty when changing to a new flavor, aside from a complete cleaning of the atty?

If you don't clean the atty, what other option is there then to just add the new juice?

If you normally rotate the same 7 flavors, I would buy a few more attys. If you are just sampling flavors it will be hard without cleaning. If you are using a clearo, you should at least rinse the wicks and clearo, then let it dry. Some juice, you just won't be able to get the taste out unless you melt the damn thing down.

A lot depends on the atty you are using. Cleaning with water or preferably pure grain alcohol is the best way to completely eliminate the flavors. Just dumping the liquid and doing a thermometer style shake will often get rid of enough liquid to switch to a new one.

You have to clean it in order to change juices and not have any trace of the previous juice. I keep many attys on standby, and to clean them, I soak them in alcohol for 12-24 hours. Then I boil then in distilled water for about 20 min to remove the alcohol. Then I let them air dry in a tin I have. That way, I have them ready and grab one as needed. Its the best system for me that I have found.


I have 4 tanks, and like 10 attys so I never have to wait for one to dry. I dont like waiting or not being able to vape when I want to. Ive tried to tweek my system so I have standbys for my standbys.

just blow it out into some paper towel and drip. first couple hits might have trace of the past flavor but it will go away and just be new flavor not to long after. I do this here and there. Not bad at all specially if your staying in the same family of juices like have a atty you only use for fruits/sours etc.. and the other for like deserts etc..

I do what JC said, I've never boiled or rinsed any atty I've had in water. Just blow it out. Also some stores sell something called atty flush that you drip in the atty and then blow out, works well too.

I used a juice that I didn't like. I dumped it, washed everything and refilled with something else. I could still taste the old juice. I took it apart and soaked it overnight in some apple vinegar, rinsed it and let it dry. Put some juice back in and could still taste the old juice. So I replaced the wicks.

Some things just won't come out.

I've had good luck getting smells out by filling it with Everclear, shake, rinse out, then dry over night. I don't know if this is right but it has worked great for me so far. Someone tell me if I shouldn't do this.

 

[Azmo]

You shouldn't do that. You should drink the everclear. Then you won't even notice that your clearo needs to be clean.

PBusardo did something on this not long ago, works great for my 510:
