Changing flavours.

[Benjamin899]

Evening!

What do people find is the best way to change flavour and have the coil not tasting of the previous flavour?

Myself has just been changing and vaping till the old flavour goes, which can take quite a while?

Thanks

buy more tanks.

I usually save coils for same flavor profiles. Tobaccos for tobaccos, cereals for cereals, fruits for fruits, etc.

I find that I have a hard time really getting rid of the old flavor, otherwise.

Some folks have luck setting their coil overnight in pure grain alcohol. Rinse with distilled water then air dry overnight.

Either way, you kind of have to vape the coil in a empty tank at lowered watts until the flavor gets weak and before you start to get a dry hit that would ruin your wicking material.

That's where rebuildables start making more sense.

There are options.

You can simply add a new flavor to a nearly empty tank. It may take several vapes before the old flavor is gone and the new appears.

Can use different tanks for different flavors.

Can use a rebuildable drip atomizer (RDA). Generally speaking, you can either vape or "burn off" the first flavor and then simply drip the new flavor onto the wick.​

More tanks you say

Changing flavors shouldn't be a problem. My rtas all have their own flavor profile. Was the same when I used standard tanks.

You can add a little unflavored to your topper to clear the flavor or if you're a TC vaper, just vape the wick dry, then add your new flavor. Works for me...

3 viable options in order of effectiveness.
1- Swap tanks
2- Swap Cotton in RBA, RDA or RTA
3- Smoke unflavored base for a while.

I just add the new flavor or pour out the old

That is pretty much what I do if they are similar profiles or work well together - like a tobacco, coffee, caramel or vanilla - I would either not worry about it or dump out and refill with new.

For the few times that I try a different flavor --- like a cereal or a berry or something "different", I use a fresh tank and atomizer. If I was super pressed for time, I would dump the contents, wipe it out with paper towels and change the coil.

Sometimes you get lucky just putting a new flavor in with a bit of the old. The mix can be better than either singly. Sometimes.

If I'm completely switching a profile - like from fruit to dessert, I'll clean out the tank and swap the coil for a new one. I actually have a coil that's still good taped to a bottle right now. (I assume the exposure to air isn't going to kill it if it's more than a week or 2 when I use it next?)

That, too. I like to think I'm making my own 'meritage.'
