I've got a question concerning tanks...

[dtweedieiii]

Do I need a separate tank for each flavor??? I heard that you should have a separate one for menthol (but I'd only use menthol flavors once in a blue moon). I ordered three tanks.... how should I separate the flavors if at all. Thanks for your help everyone, I've found a lot of support, help, and answers here

I don't think you would have a problem switching flavors as long as you clean the tank well. You might want to change the carto though.

Unless you are referring to a clearo as a tank, in which case the same applies except change the wicks.

I found just rinsing it under hot water did fine, let it dry if you like - i never bothered - just threw another flavour in and carried on. I used carto tanks for a little - but most are prone to flooding and Vivi Novas, which aren't.

the two cheapo clearomizer knockoffs I have dont come apart, so I have just been vaping until empty and refilling with different juice, seems ok to me, but probably be better off getting ones that came apart to clean once in awhile

Cartotank flooding is almost always due to operator error...there is nothing inherent in the design to promote flooding. Either the cartomizer has too many holes in it or the holes are are too big. I punch my own and they never flood...ever.

As for keeping a separate tank for every juice (and assuming you are indeed speaking about cartotanks) it depends on the juice and to some degree the tank itself.

Some complex flavors will linger in a plastic tank so I recommend getting some Pyrex tanks (IB tanked and Phiniac are two good sources) simple flavors not so much.

For what it's worth, I keep four tanks in rotation with a different flavor in each. When I decide to change flavors in a particular tank I usually just syphon out any remaining juice and then refill with the new flavor. If my cartomizer is fairly new I'll just leave it in otherwise I replace it with a new one.

So, in general, if you're into complex juices like tobacco, dessert and coffee flavors you may want to keep a few tanks around so you don't always have to do a lot of cleaning when changing flavors. If you like simple flavors (fruit, melon, etc.) you may be able to get by with one or two tanks.

As for menthol, I use it quite a bit and I've never had a problem with it overpowering any new flavors (although the first few vapes may have a distinct menthol taste to them but it doesn't last).

I use an AGA T2 atomizer tank. When I clean it I simply take it off my ProVari and run warm tap water over it. I'm talking inside and out I don't even remove the SS wick or coil. After drying it as best I can I pulse the coil to check for hot spots and further dry the wick. When I'm satisfied with the coil heating up, I refill and vape away.

I just clean mine out with water no lingering flavors. I have been using vivi novas and have no trouble. I usually keep two so that I can switch flavors before I use it all up.

 

[dtweedieiii]

Awesome, and yea I was referring to the clearomizers that are offered by vivi nova. Gnarly, thanks guys!

I like to keep similar flavors together, like tobaccos and coffee with one and fruits/candy with another.

Only problem ive had is that some flavors such as sour or fireball ect. Have some type of acidity to them I am guessing and they will eat up or fog up or I have herd even crack plastic tanks.. OMG ... right? I sometimes find out the hard way when vendors offer no warning. I recently won a free 30ml bottle of some juice called grenada made by next level vapors.. anxious to try it I quickly filled an evod and started vaping the anise/black licorice flavor. The juice was good but about 10min later I noticed fogging in my tank and was immediately angry bc I mnew what had happened. Now every flavor I put in the tank has the anise taste and over about 15 minutes it overpowers any other flavor.

The tank has been washed with.... warm water, vodka, and vinegar even changed coil. Nothing will fix this tank it is ruined. If your using plastic tanks then sooner or later this will probably happen so extra tanks is very necessary

I personally like have several different tanks with different juice. I like switching flavors at different times of the day. I can't imagine just having one flavor everyday all day. Even though I smoked the same ciggy for years and years. I think maybe that is what makes vaping so magical.

Cartotank flooding is almost always due to operator error...there is nothing inherent in the design to promote flooding. Either the cartomizer has too many holes in it or the holes are are too big.

i want to add one more reason

bad o-rings/airleak in the tank.

i have two tanks i am not currently using for this reason....and have since purchased a tank tool to keep from destroying future o-rings

I have a vivi nova mini dedicated to extreme ice from MBV, but that's not because I am worried about it tainting other flavors, it's because I just love to vape it every hour or two.
I have a few in rotation, I usually just rinse in hot water, shake em off, quick burn to the coil if necessary and then refill with the next flavor. Sometimes those first few draws have some of the old flavor in them, and sometimes that's not a bad thing!

You might even get to the point where you start putting a few drops of menthol into some other flavors, just to see what happens. Don't be worried about doing it wrong, mixing juices can be awesome fun - even when you do it by accident.
