How does everyone change their juice...

With my tanks usually just a rinse with hot water does well. Something like spearmint can be difficult though. For those I might let it soak over night.
I take apart my tanks and rinse everything in luke warm water and set them aside on some paper towel.Then leave it on the window sill for an hour or so. I tend to bulk clean my tanks. I have about 4 tanks in rotation. I imagine the Aerotank would be the same procedure. Aerotank looks very similar to my tanks. The coil can be rinsed once or twice within say 7-10 days before replacing with new ones.
I have a tank of similar flavour for each sort of flavor group (If that makes sense lol). Meaning I keep all the minty/methol flavors in one tank and fruity ones in another and then tobacco flavors in another.
I like to use juices that blend well together, that way when the tank on my KFL+ gets pretty empty and I want a different juice I just fill it up. I've found that after about 10 vapes the previous juice gets taken over by the new completely. Never rinse anything but I mostly just use fruit flavors nothing that seems very drastic in change.
Same question... I've got a protank 2, and am using it for the first time ever. The first juice I tried, didn't sit well, so I switched the juice but didn't know what to do with the coil, so I just put on a new coil. Soo... From the responses so far, I can just rinse and let it dry? What is dry burn? Can someone please post links to a "how to", or a past discussion of this. Can I submerge the entire coil in the rinse water?
Dry burning is switching the power on with no juice present. The coil heats up red hot and burns the gunk off. On a rebuildable atomiser with a silica wick it is a very good way of cleaning. Protank atomisers have resistance wire that runs between a rubber/silicone gromet. If that gets too hot it can burn and permanently taste bad. So dry burning those can only be done carefully if at all. Cotton burns if it is dry, so it has to be removed before the coil is dry-burned.
For my Iclear 30s's, I just use those to vape my favorite juices since the heads last for so long. I rebuild my PT2's, so changing flavors is as easy as rinsing the tank with hot water, and re-wicking the atty with new cotton. I know it's a little OT, but if you don't already, look into winding your own coils for your ProTanks. You won't believe the difference.
I have been dry burning EVOD, Protank, mini Protank, Protank2, mini Protank2, Protank3 coils before using and after cleaning with no grommet burning. When "pulsing" it for about five seconds at a time I have had no issue. How long do you have to burn it for to melt / burn the grommet? 
Sounds like I don't need to do a dry burn but maybe re-wick the cotton? Considering I only used the coil/cotton for about 20 minutes... I probably don't need to do anything, aside from rinsing it, before I can reuse it with a different juice. I'm assuming it doesn't matter if the cotton is still wet from the rinse, cause the water will just vaporize when it's heated eh?
I didn't know protank 2 coils were rebuildable. Awesome. I'll have to learn that too.

@Joe P: I don't, I pulse for about five seconds when I've bothered doing it. ;-) Generally I just rinse them through with water without taking the atty apart.
I hadn't considered dry burning a new coil. Given the number of people saying coils are hit-and-miss, that might be a good idea.

If you just pulse it, you should be fine. Kidney Puncher sells replacement insulators for really cheap. If you rebuild it's kinda unnecessary, since you can just make a new coil.
I've got enough tanks to be able to keep my juices going, but if I ever want to change, then I just strip them down wash each part under running hot water, dry the inside of the tank, the top and base with a towel, then I leave them to dry completely on a paper towel on my desk for about an hour, before assembling them again, a quick dry burn (i usually just give the power button 5 short presses), then fill 'em up, another couple of quick power presses to get the liquid soaking into the coil and ready to go.
i only have one atty, so i wash and i refill
You really need to get more for backup purposes! If that one that you have fails.....

Pulsing is good
most batteries will cut off before it gets to the point where it is hot enough to melt things. To be safe though, continue the pulsing method.
Appreciate all the advice guys! I guess I need to figure out what kinda tank I am going to use and start acquiring a few of them.
