Cleaning RDA for different juices

[djezewski]

I first got my first genesis type rda and my question is how how I clean in between flavors. Right now I have a strong Camel menthol flavor in it and would like to perhaps try something else in it tomorrow. Do I just rinse or soak over night in vodka..boil?

Unscented dish soap, a cheap toothbrush to scrub, and HOT tap water usually does it for me. If not, soak in vodka or 91% isopropyl overnight.

+1. Soap and hot rinse. Strong flavors will wash out with a little wash of vinegar followed by a water rinse.

A wash and dry burn the coil if your using ss mesh or silica. Works for me! :thumbup:

 

[djezewski]

yes, it is silica.

A few drops of hydrogen peroxide works for me. Mixed half and half with water, it makes a good mouth wash as well.

I take I should dry overnight like any other atomizer?

^^^ If you want it bone dry, but I always just patted it dry as best I could with a tissue, then pulse fired the coil a few times, loaded up juice and started vaping. First few pulls would be a little weak but performance and taste came back fairly quick.

Edit: I'd say with silica, after some pulse fires, saturate the wick with juice and vape it off before filling the tank.

What I ended up doing is took a syringe and squirted off the wick and coil with vodka, a quick rinse in tap water. Took a paper napkin and gently squeezed the wick, patted the coil. Rinsed the top tank and wiped out with napkin. Dry burned pulsing until coils looked clean. Put juice on coil and wick, filled a bit more around it. Put the top tank on waited about 10 minutes. I few week gentle inhales. It seems good to go. I have pistachio in there which it is a very weak tasting juice..and no menthol taste. I was quite surprised. I am so used to pc tanks that hold the menthol flavor.

In addition to all the advice above, take it apart as much as you can because there's some crevices that have juice in them but are blocked by an o-ring or something.

I just run mine under hot water till I cant smell any ejuice or till its completely clear, or until my hands hurts lol
