You guys have been tremendously helpful. I picked up way too much juice today. Way more than I planned, as well as a new wick. How often are you supposed to change the wicks? Also, I have very random flavors. When switching flavors would you recommend cleaning my atomizers before adding new flavors, or with the change be gradual. I had a really bad floral flavor in one of my atomizers and I can't seem to get rid of it. That atomizer is an iclear 16 and my other atomizer is a tango clearomizer. Thanks y'all.

You can wash the coil unit out with warm water. Dab the wicks with a paper towel to dry then put on your ecig in an empty tank and fire it a couple times till the coil glows. This is called dry burning.
As far as when to change, do it when your vaping experience starts to drop off with a full tank. It often comes with reduced vapor, or an odd taste

I have found that getting the taste of a really pungent juice out of your rig sometimes can be a bit difficult. Maybe try soaking it in water or a clear alcohol (vodka).

I usually have no problem when switching to a similar flavor: i.e. a fruit flavor to another fruit flavor, or a bakery to a bakery. Maybe try devoting a different clearomizer to each type of flavor will be easier.

As far as changing the heads to your clearomizer. You will probably notice a difference in vape quality after a while. You can swap out the heads. Sometimes, the old one will come back to life after a good soak and some dry burns.

I found a quick rinse if I am changing flavors seems to keep them in check. I have some I don't care if they mix, as they turn out ok. Apple Pie and Red Apple for example. If I am changing from Cola to Extreme Ice, that one gets a rinse. Also found keeping my Evods clean by rinsing about every 2-3 tanks keeps my flavors clean.

Wicks I change when it taste like sweaty rubber ..... You'll know the taste when it hits you. How long that takes for me depends on what I'm vaping, am I chain vaping, how much juice am I using in a day, and how good was the initial coil I put in. I have had a couple last only minutes before frying, and others last a couple weeks. I am starting to rebuild my heads personally. Tired of quality control. In just 5 weeks I have been through about 9 or 10 heads. Most of which is because they just weren't right out the package. Lots of great step by steps for rebuilding on here and you tube for just about every head out there.

In order of your asking:

How often are you supposed to change the wicks?

when the coil burns out or they get too gunked up to clean or function well or if yo are cleaning a coil yo can go ahead and put a new one in while that one dries....

When switching flavors would you recommend cleaning my atomizers before adding new flavors

putting 2 flavors in 1 atomizer or changing flavors without cleaning may or may not make a difference it all depends on what you are vaping and your taste. some people will deliberately mix 2 flavors they like, but sometimes even flavors that should go together will leave yo with a per-fumy taste when mixed.

If you have a yuck taste or smell in an atomizer, go the whole hog sanitizer route with alcohol etc.


I usually air dry my coils and wicks, there are people who tell you to dry burn, but that makes it really easy to burn the wick......
