Cleaning my e-cig tank.

[LandonCurtis]

How would I go about cleaning my e-cig tank fully, so I can't even get a hint of the smell or flavor coming from it.

It's either a eGo ce5 or ce6, I can't remember.


I've tired, washing it out, let it sit out to dry all night.
It still has the smell of this S***y beer flavor my friend gave me.

Any advice?

I've soaked mine in alcohol overnight, let it dry out. Had a bad experience with a horrible cherry flavor before. Had to do it twice actually. BUT.... it might be just fine refilling and going. First few puffs could taste off, but could get better. If not, try soaking it in alcohol. I just use the isopropyl, some others use vodka.

Basically, should I just get like a small cup, poor alcohol into and put my tank in there for the night?

Basically, yeah. I poured some into the tank, below that rubber piece and sat it in a cup. But I'm sure that would work just as well. Plus drying out was quicker than water, since alcohol evaporates faster. That's what I have in my cabinet, too. 91%

I take a coffee cup of water 1 min in microwave. Take tip off and soak for 15 min or till water is cooler, change water again, shake off all excess and let air dry for overnight. If you have a spare leave overnight to dry.

I use 160 proof Devils' Springs vodka. It seems to help remove traces of flavor that some of the stubborn liquids leave. Since it's excellent vodka I also drink it. I also rinse with hot water before and after. Some people say hot water is enough.

I do this with stuff like tanks and drip tips, but lately I haven't bothered cleaning coil heads. I just throw them out and use new ones. So far the flavor hasn't been the same with coil heads regardless of cleaning, vodka, drying burning etc. Other people have had better success.
