Perma-flavor in my atty!

[Dudeonline]

I'm pulling my hair out on this one. I have done everything short of dipping this thing in Hydrochloric acid to get the Root Beer taste out of my atomizer

(alien Visions Barks Root Beer, SO not a fan, tastes like NECCO wafers!)

I have boiled it, soaked it in a vinegar/distilled water solution, soaked it in PG, soaked it in Vodka, nothing works...am I just out of an atty?

You have done about everything I know to do, some flavors just never really go away.

How long are you boiling?

I would start by dripping and smoking another flavor on it. It will still taste for awhile but will eventually will go away. I have a candy cane flavor that's like that, I try to just keep it on one atty but I got them mixed up the other day so I've been tasting the mint for a while.

Did you try ultrasonic cleaner or a glass of water with 2 denture cleaning tablets and setting the atty on top of the tablets?

Use cartomizers for clingy flavors?

I'll have to try that. I don't have the ultrasonic cleaner, but I'll give the denture cleaner a try. Thanks for the tip. I'll need to get a pack of cartos for the clingy strong flavors, but I think I might be sticking to Boba's and Gorilla juice anyway...those are SO yummy.

Are you dipping or using a cart? If your dripping, debridge it, you probably have some of the liquid in the wicking material. When I get a bad flavor...I blow it out from the top end...then blow it out from the threaded end a couple of times...dry burn it, blow it out again, then dry burn (it helps if its debridged so you can see the coil). If that doesnt work...cycle it a couple of times with another strong flavor that you like.

maybe try the volcano method with baking soda in the atty, add white vinegar and put your finger over the top. It will spew out the bottom. That worked for me on skunk juice odor removal. Good luck!

Try this...soak in white vinegar for 20 minutes with a little baking soda mixed with the vinegar. It will foam so you have to put the atty in quickly. After 20 minutes, remove the atty and rinse in hot water. Now take a lemon and drip about 3-4 drops of juice down inside and let sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse in hot water again. To remove the lemon/vinegar taste, use either unflavored pg or vg...drip 4 drops in then vape it off without inhaling. Repeat the unflavored pg/vg if needed. I use this method for oily and stubborn flavors and it works but takes some patience.
