Ok so, today I am going to go for my first no-analog day. (Yesterday turned out to be a 3 analog day).

But yesterday while I wasnt paying attention, I dripped some RY4 into my "Fruit" atty. Now all I taste is the RY4. Tried vaping lots of liquid bout 1ml, Blew it out... rinsed in water... (blow dried after) left overnight...

And it still has serious RY4 flavors lingering (RY4 + Watermelon != good ). I have an atty just for tobacco flavors, so at least that one is all set.

Is the RY4 ever gonna go away? How can I make it go away?!?!? I know I read somewhere how to get the flavors out but dont remember where or what to search on.:facepalm:

You can use isopropyl alcohol. That's what I usually use. Run it through, blow it out, run it through and blow it out again. Wait 15-30 minutes and you're ready to vape again.

Agree.
Also, don't use tap water if your just rinsing out your atty or carts. Use distilled water. Tap water has all kinds of stuff in it that can linger in the atty or carts and taint the flavor of anything you vape afterwards.

Actually I use nearly-boiled filtered tap water to clean attys, then shake out well, then I soak in alcohol which gets off the water, then dry.

Re putting juice in the wrong thing - I do that with cartos sometimes. I have a Vanilla carto on one PV and a dark cocoa tobacco carto on the other PV and I alternate because they contrast well. So I get really annoyed when I catch myself putting the wrong juice in one of them.

I took roxics advice and did the isopropyl (91%) on it, then cleaned with my tap water filtered through the fridge on 2 attys the tobacco and the "fruit" attyaccording to dormouse's advice.

I have well water (300 ft well in Upstate NY) so no chlorine or additives and I have the perfect PH (7.0) for my fresh water aquariums, I can actually keep most fresh water fish without having to constantly check/balance PH which is awsem. And I have had the same faucets without cleaning for 10 years so hard water is not at issue for me nor is chlorine/floride, so I shouldnt ever have to worry about funky tastes from using it.... oh wait I'm getting off in a tangent here..... but if I lived in a city or had hard water meMYSELFnI's advice would well to have been heeded... Anyhoo...

my tobacco atty which I vaped about 2ml of ry4 from bluejuice came out clean with no after tastes as I took stosh's tip on using pure VG for the taste test (strangely... I kind of like vaping the straight vg). But the "fruit" atty still has the ry4 taste to it... which is strange... but moving on... and rather then dwell on it

My fruit atty is now my RY4 atty.
My tobacco atty is now my fruit atty.
My spare atty is now my tobacco atty.
My credit card is going to be 4 more attys (different colors), 10 more carts, another usb passthrough (for a friend interested in vaping) and 2 more drip tips.

Thanks for the advice everyone!
