Cleaning G6 mini tanks

[Miami56]

I'm sure this is posted in here somewhere, but I can't track it down. I was wondering, when switching juices in the mini tanks, if anyone cleans them out first and how do you go about it?
Thanks.

Hot water and rinse it out good, soak it awhile, if that doesn't clean out the smell of the previous juice. You can use the dental tablets (cheap kind non-mint flavored) or vodka to soak them in then rinse well. And then let them dry.

Oh and welcome Miami56!

Thank you, Evie. Just the info I was looking for!

Would water and rubbing alcohol work just as well as vodka?

Noooo. Do not use rubbing alcohol. Do not use anything that is not safe for human consumption. You can get a cheap 1/2 pint of vodka at any liquor store for under $3.

Here is how I cleaned the mini tanks when I used them:

-Fill with very warm water and shake vigorously then empty
-Fill with vodka and shake but don't empty yet. I don't fill them all the way. Just enough so that when you turn them upside down that the vodka covers all of the wick but does not touch the bottom metal base. I put the tip on and let soak upside down in a carto condom for about 30 minutes
-Empty vodka and then rinse and shake with warm water a few more times
-Let dry. I usually give 48 hours

Great timing on this post.
Just finished my first 7ml bottle of Mystic with my one and only mini tank last night.

Thanks to everyone for replying to this post. Great information. Thankfully, the humidity here is so low the tanks dry out very quickly.

TEN DAYS!!!! (edit, what, now 11 days!!!)
(another edit, 11 days and 24 hours? Isn't that 12?)

If they aren't totally dry, your first few hits might be weak. Just keep going, and as the water vapes off, the flavor and the clouds will come!!!

Some flavors are really hard to get out of a mini tank. Just reserve those for the same juice. Kringles comes to mind.

You haven't been in the state of Washington. That half pint is $9 with about $6.5 in special state taxes, making it around 15. Rather drink than soak

I used to use vodka, but it was getting expensive - dental tablets work just as well, if not better - and dirt cheap!

I use distilled water. Much better to soak than tap water, and it's cheap!

i use gasoline and turpentine.


i mean the it hasnt killed me yet when i drink em, so it should be fine to soak in right?




also, my hallucinations are learning other languages!

Thirteen now Dave. And it is so dry here (<10% humidity in winter) that a slice of roast beef will become beef jerky if left out for an hour (if the dogs don't get it first) so I have had no issues with wet tanks. Afer a day of drying, they are like brand new.

Good idea, Dave. I use distilled water for my CPAP. No mineral buildup from evaporation or boiling.

Wow!!! And that is for the cheap stuff like McCormick?? I get it for $2.25 - $2.50 a bottle.

+1 to distilled water
