Yes you can..no worries. Let it soak a few minutes to get rid of the smell and aftertaste of your previous juice.

Better not soak rubber seals in hot water. It will become expanded and affect the quality.

Depending ur rubber seal quality. I soaked my tfv4 seals and got expanded. Maybe it doesn't affect other brands so still up to you to decide whether to give it a try.

 

[Shapiro]

Ok thanks friend. For the info shared

Try dip in listerine and rinse thoroughly

 

[caasing]

Wew do you boys really clean your tanks that thoroughly between juices? I just rinse with water and be done with it haha

 

[Shapiro]

Eeee. Got smell

 

[caasing]

Idk man. Seems like too much effort for me haha, I just feel like once you pump the new juice in, you don't smell the previous one anymore. To each his own I guess [emoji14]

 

[IcyNuttY]

@caasing wouldn't that accumulate over time if you keep changing different juice?

 

[caasing]

You mean the smell? Meh I don't see how the smells can possibly stay. I haven't had any cross contamination of my juices so far by doing this. I mean I had like Ribena ice, washed out the tank with water and refilled with Lemonade and it was perfectly fine. I've gone through a few bottles of juice and it seems to be fine for me.

I have a few watches that I do my own maintenance of. What I notice is that as oring aged, it become weaker thus too water that is too hot will make it weaker.

Also another point is to never put oring in a freezer for too long (for those of you with stuck atty) rubber become brittle when cold.

Depends on whether the oring is silicon or rubber. Rubber oring are easier to degrade.

I clean rubber/silicon oring will warm water (35 degree Celsius those type) and mild neutral soap.

For metal and Pyrex, you can go ahead and soak in hot water.

Any kind of plastic tank, be careful, wash off with mild soap and never use hot water.
