I have vivi nova tank that contains Halo juice. I want to put other juice in after empty the tank (pouring the remaining back into the bottle) but the wicks will be still wet & soaked with Halo juice. Is it ok? I mean at first sevral shots Im sure I will be tasting mixture of those 2 different juice but eventually it will get soaked in by other juice thats in the tank right?

As a rule I don't pour juice back into bottles, I know I may be in the minority, but my momma always said you finish once you start. You can do it KP, vape that Tribeca. Vape it, vape it...

As zapped said, quick rinse, shake and blot dry (dry burn if necessary) reinstall, fill and vape. First vape will be weak as there is water on the wicks, but it takes no time at all to get rid of it. Sometimes I don't even bother rinsing, makes for some interesting flavors.

Depending on how... discerning you are, you may switch flavors and find the old one never really works out all the way. Menthols, for example, will tend to linger in the wick seemingly forever. There's nothing "wrong" with doing it, but you might not like the result.

I also wouldn't put old juice back into a bottle of fresh juice. As we vape, part of the flavoring doesn't vaporize and builds up. It's what the crusty nastiness is on an old coil. It also slowly mixes back with the liquid in the tank. If you use a tank long enough without emptying it out completely, you'll find the juice gets brown over time from that caked-on flavor crud leeching back into the liquid. That eventually gives the juice a caramelized, off flavor. So that's why I wouldn't mix old with new.

I haven't been able to completely remove the flavor from the wicks. Most of the time, its been fine, but I've always had at least a hint of what was in the tank before, even after soaking the head and wicks in vodka and water overnight, followed by a dry burn. You're not going to do any damage by just dumping another juice in there while the wicks are still wet, but you're not going to get the same flavor as what's in the bottle. Once, just for fun, I dumped some Turkish tobacco into the half-full tank of strawberry/citrus. Not bad.

I put different flavored juice in my vivi's all the time when my tanks get empty without stopping to rinse them in between. It only takes a few puffs before the new juice is the only juice I taste. Now with that said, I am changing flavors in the same families. Can't do that with those strong flavors that linger forever on a wick like coffees or menthols or cinnamons because I will continue to taste these strong flavors no matter what else I add to the tanks. ;)

When I used clearos with replaceable wicks, I would stock up on wick heads. If I got tired of one flavor, if the wicks were still good, I just poured the juice in the clearo back into the bottle, removed the wicks, stuck them in a plastic baggie, rinsed out the clearo with warm water, screwed in new wicks, filled the tank with the new juice, and voila. Repeated as necessary.
