getting rid of the taste of menthol

[kackourey]

how do I get rid of the menthol flavor? menthol bubble gum tastes terrible and thats after I soaked it dry burned it and soaked it again....what should i do?

I read that someone just uses a different atty for each flavor they smoke, that might work for you? I, personally, have tried different flavors with the same atty and have had no problem, the old flavor usually just burns off after a good 5-6 draws on it. Sorry, wish I could be of more help to you.

Menthol, and cinamon, are really hard to shift out of an atty. Personally I dedicate an atty to both of those flavors, have one for fruits and one for everything else.
Some flavors work fine with menthols (like other tobacco flavors) but most dont.
Some people find an alcohol bath helps but as I dont clean my attys other than blowing them out I cant say if thats a good idea or not

any type of mint is almost impossible to get out of an atty. Alot of people dedicate an atty to any type of mint.

keep using other flavor carts till it covers the menthol?

It is hard to get menthol out of an atty but not impossible. Boil it in water then run it under the sink, blow it out and smell it. If it still smells like menthol repeat this untill is smells at least a lot less. Take a blowdryer and hit it for a few minutes and try it out. The smell gets stuck in the wick and the bridge. If all else fails remove the wick then the bridge and use it for dripping.

My suggestion is similar, soak in hot water, burn clean followed by at least 1 more soak and burn cycle. Much easier to just get another atty and keep the current one for menthol or tobacco flavors.

The easiest way to remove a flavor you don't like from an atty is usually putting a couple drops of pure VG on the bridge and vape it off.

Menthol, clove, some coffees, the infamous Ginseng - all flavours which should have an atty on their own, because while it is not impossible to get the smell out, it is difficult. Only occasion where I use alcohol on my atties. Otherwise, just hot water.

If you have an espresso machine, try the milk frothing, steam making setting.
Hold the atty with kitchens or hemostats and steam all surfaces inside and out.
CAUTION!!! may remove paint but stainless looks cool.
rinse with bottled or distilled water then heat in oven at 200 to 250 F for 30 minutes.
Then prime and vap as if a new atty fresh from factory.
Worked for me.

First let your atty sit in coca-cola (regular, not diet) for about 20 minutes or more... Then boil your atty in water for about 30 seconds or if you're daring like me - 5 minutes and throw a little salt in the water too. Works perfect for me! Blow through on both sides while holding with a towel to soak up the moisture and let dry for a bit and you're golden! (I did this with the 510 atomizers. Also, get those little wick hairs out of the atomizer too, they are worthless, and they burn and leave a NASTY taste, trust me. Mine worked perfect without them.

Neither sugar nor salt are particularly good for your atties, and pulling out the wick makes the atty work a lot less well. They are there for a reason, they do not normally burn, and they don't leave any nasty taste, either.

I've rarely seen so much bad advise in one posting …
