Do atty's acquire a specific flavor taste with use?

[Elric13]

I think I already know the answer (clean the thing!), but if I want to use different flavors in the same atty, does it "acquire" the taste of the flavor used most often/last used? If I run some drips of strawberry, followed by chocolate, will I have a "strawberry/chocalate-y" taste mix happening for awhile?

In short, yes. A stronger flavor will hang around longer than a mild one. It will clear but can take some time. Put a menthol cart on and you'll be tasting it for days. Some people dedicate an atomizer to certain flavors so that it will be consistent. I just let the new flavor overcome the old one at its own rate.

Simple answer.. yes...

Some flavors hang around longer, even through a blow out of the atty. Other go very quickly. I have not had any flavor take up permanent residence in an atty, but have heard of it happening.

If a flavor you don't like gets stuck in the atty and blowing it out doesn't help, try vaping plain unflavored PG or VG until it goes away, I've found this very helpful.

Yes, flavors stick, and some of them seem to stay forever.

Clove is one of them, I vaped clove in one of my attys and needed to not only rinse it out, but also do a dry burn (then another rinse) and finally vape ONLY the strongest flavors I had in that atty before it finally dissipated. That's now my chocolate-coffee atty, as nothing else could cover it up.

It's not even that I find clove unpleasant, but it does not blend well!
