Getting rid of previous juice's smell from wick

[Xanth]

I have a Vivi Nova and I just got myself a bad bottle of juice that tasted horrid. I washed it immediately and let it dry.

I filled it up with my old bottle of juice but the smell is still there.

Is it safe to use soap? Can clearomizers be boiled?

As long as you do not boil the plastic tank, you should be good. You should be able to get it nice and hot though.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

"Atty Refresher" from want2vape.com will get rid of it. It's really for attys, but I've used it on vivi nova heads (in desperation) and it works well. A couple of drops on the coil and a drop or two on each side where the wicks come out, let it sit for a while and then wash it with hot water.

I noticed you've mentioned this one before, can I just ask what is it exactly? their site seems coy on listing the ingredients.

I have no idea. GrimmGreen does a review on it Here and, while he raves about how well it works, he complains about not knowing what's in it. I don't care, it works.

Thanks, just watched video, strange stuff indeed!
For anyone who just wants to get to the Refresher bit skip to 6.50min

Whatever you do, do not boil your clearomizers! They are made of plastic and will melt. I have yet to find a way to totally wash out the taste of a previous juice.

I try to color code my clearos and only use similar flavors in them. So the blue, I'll only use ones that have some sort of mint element (As it seems to me mint is the toughest residual smell to get rid of), cinnamon's in the red, fruits in the yellow, etc. I still wash them out, but this way the left over flavor won't clash to much.

I just wash mine with hot water. Gets out everything from menthol flavor to the near-impossible-to-remove cardamom flavor.

What she said.

Vinegar will get rid of it if just washing it with hot water doesn't.

You may want to invest in a metal tank. I just got one. It will not go cloudy from the fruit flavors that have acid and it will not hold onto a bad juice. Try another wick or do a really good cleaning.

I dunno, maybe cut the wicks like the 2.0. I put some very strong wintergreen in one and when I finished gagging I poured it out. Nothing got rid of that smell. Should have put it in a carto in the first place. Good luck!!
