How do you clean a tank's o-rings?

[MrWarspite]

Hey All,

I'm using my first tanks and went through a bottle of ry4. Now i want to use a new flavor. I soaked the tank caps in water but i can still smell the ry4 on the o rings and when i put a carto in it comes out with a little ry4 juice still on the side.

So how are you cleaning your tanks, specificly the end caps, to get the previous juice out?

Cheers!

i just use really hot water, my tanks sometimes smell like the last juice but its never carried over into the carto for me.

since no one else has replied im sure if the flavor is carrying over that badly wiping off the endcaps/inside of tank with some PGA would kill the residue pretty quick.

I just rinse mine under the faucet really good in water that is as hot as I can stand..you can however remove the o-rings from the tanks to wash them with a thin wire or very small screwdriver being careful not to tear them. Also MadVapes sells replacement o-rings for 30 cents each for the SmokTech tanks but I'm sure most hardware stores sell them too if you happen to tear one. I have no need to change flavors in my Smok tanks though as I have 10 of them..I bought 8 of them at MyVaporStore where they sell just the tanks themselves for $4.65 for plastic ended ones and $8.55 for the chrome colored ones.

thanks guys, ill try a longer soak in really hot water and see if that gets it. I was thinking of getting the o-rings out but would rather avoid that if i dont have to just so i dont knick/tear them.
I'll eventually have enough tanks but im fairly new to vaping and only have 2 right now.

I haven't had o-ring issues yet but I picked up a couple inner ones from MadVapes last order in case as I figure those are the most likely to fail from putting in/removing cartomizers. If I ever need other o-rings I figure I'll just get them at the hardware store when I go past it. I think just rinsing the caps under some good pressure under a hot faucet would probably remove just about any left over juice..but I don't know how good your water pressure is where I live it's very good..almost too high...
