How do you clean tanks out?

You may want to post what tank you have. It will be helpful.
For your tank and/or coils/heads if applicable. You can clean out your tank with really hot tap water and let it dry and/or with vodka/everclear. For your coils, you can do the same thing. Some people advocate "dry burning" your coils as well which is a process for cleaning the gunked up juice on your coils. I don't personally do this but it is an option. Just read/watch videos first.

I have a bowl of 1 part vinegar and 4 parts water. Soak for an hour or two and then rinse in the hottest water from the faucet. I have to use needle-nosed pliers to hold them. Then lay on a paper towel to air-dry. I even do my changeable coils that way. I have enough Clearomizers to rotate and do that. Extra tanks are a necessity.
When I used clearos, I cleaned them at every filling. I also rinsed and dry burned the coils. Now that I use cartotanks, I basically clean them only when I'm changing flavors. I can run about 30 ml's through a single carto in a cartotank, and not have to clean anything if I'm sticking to that one flavor. If the carto dies sooner then I want a flavor change, I switch out the carto with the juice still in the tank. Priming a carto takes a bit longer then filling a clearo, but as there's less maintenance all around once I'm done, cartotanks have actually saved me time.
Hot water, paper towel, air dry, good to go. I change my coils out, but save the old ones for hard times.... but that's just me and I don't change flavors. I have settled on one, so that doesn't matter to me any longer. I only clean out the tank when the coil needs to be replaced. Once every other week on average.
I take everything apart, rinse the parts with tap water, and leave the pieces in a small cup, submerged in cheap vodka, then rinse again with water and let them dry on a piece of paper towel.
If the device is new or after heavy use I use a q-tip to remove the oil or gum deposits.
If the coil has burnt juice residue I dry burn it, if it doesn't work I replace it.

I clean my protank once a week, regardless of how much I use it......
as for my coils... whenever they start to clog up.
I either take em apart, dry burn them, and add a new flavour wick... sometimes it's cotton, sometimes it's silica...
or if they've been cleaned again and again, I just drop them into a jar of vodka and let them soak till I get enough of them in there,
and then one night while watching a movie at my desk, i'll just rebuild a dozen or two
that's my process

If it was Jack Daniels, I would have a problem with using it to clean without drinking it afterwards but yes..........vodka and Everclear are good for cleaning the coils and tanks. Actually dripping a drop in thick liquid will thin it out a bit too. From what I understand, juice can be cut with either distilled water or alcohol of some type. It does a good job of removing the juice when soaked.
Interesting! Not really a tank guy but my buddy bought me a kayfun lite as a birthday present and have been presently surprised. Building coils on it is a pain but some more tinkering and I'm sure I'll get it.
Sure, When you clean your clearo's, A shot for the clearo's and a shot for you

I'll take a double
Actually with the Kayfun's and specifically the clones, you want to clean them out really well before you use them with either soap and water or vodka to get the machining oil out

When refilling the same day or next day with same flavor I just fill and vape away.
If the juice looks a bit thick after several days in the tank when it's empty I rince with hot water (no flavor change) refill and go.
If I'm changing flavors, I throughly rince in hot water all parts, then soak in vodka for 15-30 minutes, toothpics, q-tips if needed, inspect, dry, quick 5-10 sec dry burn if needed, then fill n go.
Coil quicks working, or consistenly not getting good vape, replace with new one as needed.
May get into rebuildable tank but for now I'm happy with the Kanger Aero Tanks, Iclear 30S and Kanger Protank II's I'm running.

Heaven Hill for the clearo's, and Grey Goose for the vaper (me)!
