How in the world am I supposed to get this flavor out of my tank?

Denture cleaning tablets do amazing things.

The effervescence seems to go places where scrubbing can't. Might be worth a shot.

tj99959 had the best advice: get a couple more tanks and dedicate each to a specific flavor type. Fruits, baked goods, coffees, candies, & mint/cinnamon/anise should be a good start.

Only people vaping your specific brand & flavor can tell with any certainty that its taste can effectively be completely cleansed from your tank.

Good luck.

Hey all, I have just upgraded to the Nautilus tank and my first choice of juice was a peppermint candy cane that I made. It's very good however I am getting burned out on it but when i tried to clean everything and put in a new coil it still tastes and smells like peppermint. I have tried everything, grain alcohol, hot water soak nothing seems to work!!! I love my tank and want to use different flavors but this is really starting to pee me off! I am half tempted to use a mild solution of bleach just get the flavor out!! but that I think would not be a wise decision

anyone got a solution to try?

The solution is to keep an arsenal of toppers.

Attempting to 'completely' remove a flavour just isn't worth the effort.
Even if you do remove a flavour completely, your own mind plays tricks on you and you taste it a little anyway!

Mints and menthols go away sooner or later.

The only thing that ever had me close to throwing a Nautilus away was RY4. Free sample. Worst thing by far I ever tasted. Took alot to get rid of that.

Good heaven, 8 bucks for a gasket!!!

Nautilus parts will wear, break or get stinky. Be proactive. A 20 pack of seals is 5 bucks and replacement glass runs a buck apiece from FT.

Be warned that shipping will take 2 weeks. On about the 12th day your tank will fall and you will pay 10 bucks for a local replacement.

one tank of pluid should do the trick.

I second using the bubbly denture tablets. The generic efferdent tablets from CVS or any drugstore should work.

I recently received a juice that the vendor somehow added menthol in. Imagine my surprise when I tried it in my Kayfun expecting cotton candy and got a Hall's cough drop instead. I let it sit in the Kayfun, thinking maybe it needed to steep. Alas, the menthol didn't go away. I contacted the vendor, and they are replacing it.

Anyway, because of my work schedule, it sat in my Kayfun for a week and I was resigned that the tank was history because I despise mint and menthol and figured the menthol had seeped into all the parts of the tank. I figured I had nothing to lose, so yesterday I took it apart (leaving o rings in place) and soaked it overnight in isopropyl alcohol. This morning, I rinsed it and soaked it in tap water for an hour, then laid the parts out to dry on a dish towel.

Tonight, I built a new coil, put it together and loaded it with dragon fruit. There is absolutely no menthol residue left on anything. This is my first time in two years of vaping that I've used anything other than hot water to clean coils and tanks, and common everyday rubbing alcohol worked like a charm! :

What flavor is that?

Three things you can do.

Soak in alcohol over night
Soak in Dawn overnight
Soak in water full of baking soda overnight

They all seem to work fairly well. But menthol is a ..... to get out. I used the drip tip from my pt2 to sample like 30 new flavors my B&M brought in today, took like two puffs of a melon and mint one, and the I'm thinking about throwing this drip tip away lol.

take it completely apart, orings and all.... soak in Everclear, IPA, Orange clean etc ( choose 1) overnite, rinse well and reassemble...
