I used to get flavors that would hang in there on my Nautilus tanks too. I think it gets in under the bottom tank seals. Don't be surprised if that nasty juice becomes a keeper later on. A potpourri taste can be common in fresh juices. It may steep down to something nice. I've had that happen a few times going over old stashes of juice.

Try distilled white vinegar overnight. Then overnight again in hot water with about a dime sized drop of Dawn dish soap. Then soak again in hot water, rinse in hot water, then wipe dry. I'm not sure what Medusa is supposed to taste like, but I've been able to get every flavor out of my tanks this way with the only exception being cinnamon.

I absolutely hate the space jam flavors and ended up putting some into one of my tanks (prior to realizing how much I dislike their flavors) and I immediately drained it out, washed out the tank, driptip and replaced the coil but their liquid taste and smell (the smell was even worse than the taste) lingered on. I finally put that tank, base, drip tip etc into a vodka bath.

I had to change out the vodka about 3 or 4 times over a period of several days because it would start to smell like the space jam liquid, but long story short, eventually the flavor and smell departed from the tank.

My partner loves space jam, and he has some needle bottles that he puts it into to make it easier to fill his tank. I asked to take one and he told me to make sure that I take one of the new needle bottles because he's used space jam in the others and no matter how much he tries to wash them out the smell of space jam remains. Since I have one of the bottles I don't really care to have to tell him to waste a bunch of vodka soaking and changing the vodka each day or two since he likes the space jam

Medusa is supposed to be a strawberry champagne with a hint of mint at the end.

When you get a juice that just won't go away, it's because the juice has gotten into the o-rings. You have to take the o-rings off and soak them separately. That's what I had to do to get Suicide Bunny Madrina out of a Subtank mini. And not just the three red ones. I also had to remove the o-ring in the top cap of the RBA chimney where it mates to the tube. Took me a while to find that one and get it out. the juice can get under the ring and seep out when the tank is put together and there is pressure on the ring.
