Different Tanks for Different Flavors?

[misu]

When I returned to smoking, after being quit for 15 years, I started by smoking pipes.
When smoking a pipe it is recommended to use a different pipe for each different flavored tobacco.
Is this true for tanks as well? Should I buy a different tank for different flavors?
I use EVOD type tanks.
Thanks, in advance for your advice

I use different tanks for different favors. When I am still unsure about something new I use a "throw away" until I know I love it.

I vape anywhere from 5-6 different flavors during the day. I have a different tank for each flavor, each set up on its own mod. Just makes it easier for me to grab the one that I want without switching anything around. Plus I have found that some flavors taste different/better in different tanks.

It's a case of personal preference really. If you're switching between very different flavours, eg. coffee and mint, you would probably want to keep those flavours separate. But if you switch between similar flavours like strawberry and raspberry, it probably wouldn't matter if there was some mixing.

If you are using glass tanks it shouldn't really matter as far as taste goes (rinse and refill if the new flavor is not similar to the previous flavor). However, I too have many tanks as I like to vape many different flavors all day long.

I have many different tanks loaded with different flavors and swap them out depending on my mood.
You could also get some cheap disposable cartomizers to use.
Something like Boge XXL (Stainless) 510 2.0 LR Cartomizer 5 Pack With FREE 5ml Bottle Of Eliquid

I have a number of Nautilus tanks and clean them to change flavors and install a new coil

Yep, I use a devoted tank to my different flavors, but it's more for convenience that any other reason.
When I get a new juice that I've not tasted I use a bridged 510 atomizer (about $5) to taste it. If I like it I pull out a clean tank and away we go.

Hi, If you use menthol or some mints it can take a while to get rid of the mint taste, when changing flavor you can swill the evod tank out under the tap, just take the clearomizer from the battery and take out the coil and wash the evod head, if it is a harsh flavor you can just put a fresh coil in, I like the evod and protank 2, use them the most, never tried a pipe thou

I use Kanger and Aspire Glass tanks. I find that as long as you clean them well between flavors and even after refilling with the same flavor a few times, then you should be able to avoid problems. I noticed the EVOD2 Plastic tanks I started with tended to retain flavors more so then the Glass tanks. I also now will soak my tanks and parts in vodka for a few hours after a particular strong and dark e liquid.

Okay, thank you, everyone for your answers. They're all very helpful.
It seems to me that, like pipe tobacco, you should use a different tank for different flavors if the flavors are in a different taste category. Like, I would never smoke a rum flavored tobacco in an oriental designated pipe. These are 2 completely different pipe tobacco flavors. It would ruin the pipe for both. Unless I was looking for a sweet and spicy flavor combo.
I think I will buy different tanks. I've been using tobacco flavors and it hasn't really changed the quality of taste, after the first hit or 2. I just wasn't sure if the same held true for flavors like fruits, coffee and desserts. I've bee contemplating stepping into the world of flavors other than tobacco. I don't want to ruin the experience by mixing previous flavors with current flavors.

I pretty much try to keep my regular flavors in their own tank -- blueberry muffin/banana nut bread in my cartotank, Virginia in one of my kayfuns -- though that may be changing, as I really don't care for or vape that Virginia much at all anymore. My other Kayfun, I switch flavors in it a lot, and it can be a real pain -- the stainless holds no odor, but the o-rings do for sure, and maybe also the plastic part of the tank. So far I've managed, but eventually I may run into a flavor so strong that I have to boil that kayfun to get rid of the odor.

The thing about cartos is a definite +1 -- I have the punched cartos for my tank, but I also keep some regular cartos around, if there's a flavor I sorta like but want to "try on" for a while. I do have a dripper I can use for quick taste tests, but I hate dripping for just sitting around, so the plain cartos are a good compromise.

I'm finding that it's true that using multiple flavors helps to prevent "taste fatigue", a/k/a vaper's tongue, so it really is a good idea to have several tanks setup with flavors you like to rotate around -- also because certain flavors go together (my tea with blueberry muffin), and certain flavors emphatically do NOT (pineapple juice with blueberry muffin, argh -- or drinking tea with a coffee vape -- that one is just WEIRD).

I find fruit flavors and strong mint flavors to be good.
One of my favorites is called SOB (Strawberry, Orange, Banana) by Bombvapor and Watermelon from Posh Vapors.

Even with my disposable drip atomizers, I use different units for different flavor categories.

 

[ppeeble]

I have dedicated toppers for different flavours but that's just down to laziness mostly. With a rebuildable it's not that hard to renew the wick and give the tank a quick swirl under the tank. Clearomisers and cartos are hard work to clean out and almost impossible to remove some flavours.
There is a world of difference in flavours when using different toppers. I hate Bobas Bounty in a kayfun but love it in a cartotank. The same with my RY2.
Drippers bring out the flavour of my lemon/lime/aniseed juice but it taste meh in a Taifun.....
That's the main reason for me to have multiple toppers. I pick the one to suit the juice.

Yup, 4 active tanks and 4 different flavors currently (strawberry cream, apple, chocolate & peanut butter, mint). i go through all 4 tanks over the course of a day so changing out liquids would be a pain.

Ebates....I am currently on a search for the best, most cost efficient way to test new DIY flavors and I looked at the disposable drippers but wondered what a "Bridged" and a "Bridgeless" attys are.
Thanks!

I am looking to remedy the problem of taste testing my DIY flavors and looked into the cartos as an option and I see you mention using the "Punched" cartos...I have seen this statement in some reviews...what is the difference in a "Non-punched" and a "Punched" carto???
Thanks!!

For taste testing DIY I preferred a dripping atomizer. Very easy to swap flavors, just vape 4 or 5 drops of unflavored and sample your next creation.
