Swapping Cartridges - Flavors mix??

[julbug75]

Hello - I got my eGo and supplies in the mail today and cannot wait to become analog free and happily vaping. I charged up the batteries, filled myself a cart with menthol and vaped a couple times - awesome. I'm not the worlds most patient person, so I filled another cart with cappacino, wanting to experience this flavor and plugged it in. The first vape tasted like menthol :-( The second vape - menthol. Third, mentholly-cappacino. It is logical that some of the first flavor would still be stuck on the atomizer. I get it - but how can I avoid this? Or can't I?
I am still excited to be vaping, none-the-less!

Use a seperate atty for new flavor

I had the same fear of that happening, so I have cartomizers dedicated to different flavors although some use flavor-specific atomizers for the same reason. Also, if you clean the atomizer after using a flavor that can do the trick, but I guess there are some flavors that are just so potent that a simple cleaning will not remove the taste. Unless you're using one of those high octane flavors, in theory it will eventually dissipate as you continue with the new flavor, but it may take a little bit.

Menthol is a very hard flavor to follow. I would try to have an atty or carto dedicated just to the menthol. Some cinnamon flavors are the same way.

And some people like the menthol mix with some fruit flavors and intentionally swap back and forth, I personally don't, but to each his own.

Thank you all for the mentorship and advice - I appreciate it! I did not get extra atomizers with my kit, so I will be ordering some tonight and avoiding the menthol until then.

In my experience, coffee flavors and tobaccos mix quite well, so do tobaccos and MOST other flavors (inc mint and cinamon).
Fruit CAN mix ok with menthol (I dont like it though) and very well with other fruits. Dont mix fruits and coffees though unless youre very adventurous (heave lol)
Chocolates go almost always well with coffee (and tobaccos and mints)
Ive found cinamons only go well with tobacco.

I drip so I get alot of 'odd mixes' - some odd ones work well (in fact Ive made some great flavors that way) but some make you want to hurl your cookies too lol.

With the above in mind I keep at least 3 atties 'on the go'. I seperate fruits, chocs, and cinamon (I'd do it for mint if I liked mint or menthol also). I used to jsut use 2 but I found a few really nasty fruit + other flavor combos so ended up keeping fruits away from everything else lol.

Thanks for the heads up and flavor advice Capt! Do you label your atty's so you know which is which somehow? Thanks!

I should do it would be easier (nail art decal things are useful, some people use colored rubber bands, same color on atty and juice bottle, plus they don't come off like nail decals) but I must admit I sniff mine
