Cleaning wicks...?

[DrianBrunk]

Has anyone ever tried cleaning the wick on any non rba like for instance the kanger subtank occ's to change flavor with out having any of the remaining flavor?

....in water? Tried it on the nautilus and it ruined the coil.

Anytime I changed flavors, the ghosting only lasted for the first few pulls with a new juice. You could always keep a separate coil for each flavor in your arsenal...

Many moons ago I used to boil my cartos, rinse & rinse & rinse with varying results. I suspect you could try them same with Kanger replacement heads. For me, the required work was not worth it.

I only used the OCC's for a short time before going to the rebuildable. I just rinsed it for half a minute or so under hot water and let it air dry for a bit. It had a ghost of the old flavor for a few hits then it was ok. I suppose it really matters what juice was previously in the tank as to how well it comes clean.

Yeah it can be done but not worth it.
Use new/different coils or try to rebuild them.

Was thinking of other threads about a different tank.

I used to be a constant flavor-changer, but I ultimately ran out of patience, for many reasons (including some reasons listed above). I was destroying or reducing the quality of atty heads when trying to clean them, I had atty heads laying around all over the place that were designated for certain flavors, I was spending more money on replaceable heads than I should have been, and/or I was flying through rebuilding materials.

I ultimately decided that I was going to vape one flavor at a time, in order to stop wasting/flying through materials.

If your budget is limited, you will eventually find that it is the smart way to go. I know that trying to new flavors is half the fun of vaping, but you'll still have them to look forward to.
If your budget is not limited, you should save yourself the time and hassle of cleaning, and just buy a crap ton of heads to swap out.
