Can I just dump out the juice in my clearo and not clean it, then add a different kind? I've only filled this clearo once but only have 3 clearos and want to try another juice in it. Do I have to clean it? The swap would be between Cappuccino and Cafe Coffee. I'd assume going from a coffee like juice to a fruity one would definitely taste a little weird... I've never cleaned a clearo and since I only have 3 and no B&Ms around here, I don't want to run the chance of ruining one. When I was using cartos I tried cleaning them a few different ways, but they never seemed to come out right...

What kind of clearo are you using? With the Kanger bottom coils, cleaning between juices is just a matter of rinsing the coil and wicks under warm water, drying it off as well as possible and then refilling. Then you have to give it a few hits to get rid of any left over water. Most other clearos should be similar.

I'm using 2 CE5 clearos and a Vivi Nova...

Those are top coil clearos that I haven’t used before, but you should be able to rinse them out pretty easily too. I’m not sure how easy it is to dry them out afterwards. At worst, you could let them dry overnight. Maybe somebody with experience with them will chime in.

The Nova is the easiest by far - i just rinse it out under hot water - let it dry and refill it. You can just throw another juice in - but having tried that myself in the past all i will say is that you can still taste the black cherry in the menthol days later!!
Best just to give it a quick rinse.

thanks!! :)
 
just let them dry, it shouldn't take longer than a day, but even then you can just deal with the flavor mix for about 10 -12 vapes and who knows might find a new mix!! I use the mini nova and just kinda deal with the flavor mash, my girl on the other hand has 4 different mini's for different flavors. It's all in how you want it to taste / money saving. I mean the mini is only $7 here at our local store and wicks are $4 so i mean it's not that big out of pocket to grab a few for different flavors.

Thanks, we don't have a store around here, I have to order everything online. I want to try all the tanks before I decide on one to stock up on... But I just bought all these new juices and can't wait to try them!

Bought Nova heads come with a silica wick as standard but i don't dry burn mine - i rinse all of the wick and tank , but try to avoid pouring it right down the centre hole - just the same as when you are filling the tank.

I don't even bother to let them dry - i just add more juice and go for it. You might want to try the different heads anyway, but the main reason for doing so - depending on what device you are using to vape - is what the liquid will taste like to you. Some people like the 2.4 Ohm coils over others etc, rather than new wicks for new flavours as you suggest.

I have never been able to switch juice with just a rinse. I love the Nova and agree with your thoughts on switching out the head for the new juice. Then you can soak the other one in hot water with a pinch of baking soda- then back to a hot water soak. I recently got some Vision Nano's to use for tasting- they were inexpensive at Altsmoke. I have dripped new juices on an atty but am not as sold on that method. I can say that testing blueberry pretty much ruins any potential new juice use, lol- and there are probably many others in that category.
