How long can you leave e liquid in a clearo?

[Mimikim1234]

I bought a bunch of clearos and e liquids, and I couldn't be patient; I filled them all up. I like a couple of liquids more than the others. so some of the liquids I bought when I started have just been sitting in the same clearos (without being used at all) for a couple of weeks. Is this a bad thing? Should I try to empty them and clean them out?
How often would you recommend cleaning out the clearos? I am afraid to do a dry burn. I feel like I will burn the wicks. Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Clean each clearo after a tank fill or 2. I've juice in clearos for several weeks at a time and no probs.

Yeah, shouldn't be a big deal ... just minimize exposure to heat which can cause the liquid to breakdown.

Uh, very basic question here: how do you "clean" a clearo? I only have a couple and definitely do not want to ruin one of them in the process!

 

[Mimikim1234]

YouTube has a couple videos that show how to clean a non changeable head clearo.

There are several methods, some just rinse out throughly under hot water and let dry. I like to rinse out briefly and then add either vodka ( 80 proof or better) or PGA and let them soak for a bit. After soaking just dispose of the alcohol and let dry completely. Good to go!

Yup, I soak mine in PGA.

If you want to do a dry burn, watch a Youtube tutorial. You can't burn your wicks--they are made of silica.

Thank you everyone! I can see myself using the vodka method so that I can try new liquids without the previous ones coming into play too.

Great info! Thanks everyone!
I wish I discovered this forum when I started vaping. I could've saved myself a lot of money and aggravation.

You could also vape a little unflavored (or just pure PG) through your tank once in while. PG is a great solvent and removes some of the impurities baked on the coil. I do it often with great results.

I've had juice sitting in some of mine for almost a year (I got distracted using other devices). One of them died from some cinnamon, but the others are fine and I vape them periodically (it would be nice to know what flavors are in them, I forgot). They've just been steeping.

I leave ELiquid in some of my tanks for months. I do not clean my tanks as they taste like .... after. I try to buy tanks with replaceable heads.

I don't clean them either. I just keep refilling them with the same flavor and when they die, buh bye.

I have a bunch filled with different juice cause I like flavors at certain times. I have never had a problem with keeping fluid in them. My friend says I have OCD but I use a label maker and have my flavors on each one. (ex. peach, menthol, cake batter etc.) Oh, and I use Everclear to clean mine out and have never had flavorbleed. Great post and good luck.
