What do all you veteran vapers do when you want to switch flavors on an atty? Do you do a completel cleaning even if it doesnt need it? Or if the flavors are similar enough do you just blow it out and reprime with the new flavor, etc.. or do you not clean it at all and just let the flavors merge together, the new one eventually taking out the old?

Thanks in advance!

I usually vape about 3 flavors a day on a regular basis and have 3 different atties for each flavor. If I want to change to another one If its close in flavor I just load it up if ts totally different I do a cleaning and stick a piece of paper towel in the atty but dont turn it just put it in and let it sit for about 10 minutes and it absorbs most of whats in there. I try to keep one atty dedicated to fruity flavors as they tend to be alot hard to get out of a atty. When its time to clean them I soak em in Crest pro health agitating them often leaving them in there for 20 to 30 minutes rinse easy with warm water to avoid knocking the wick up out of the element and soak over night in water. I found if you have a propane stove and you set the on there about where the pilot light is they dry pretty good and pretty quick and the Crest Pro Health and soaking gets about all remnants of flavor and gunk out.
 
Yea. Technically, you should let the flavor run out in the current atomizer before putting in a new flavor but mixing it up wont hurt. On a side note, what do you guys think of flavors in ecigs for the future....in my honest opinion...I BET the flavorings will be banned. heh. idk. all the crazy flavors are really cool to smoke tho. hahaha.

I always just top off with the new flavor and yes it comes right up.... Buddhamonk, come on, how are they going to ban a flavor.... Ok, lets for the sake of it say they do.. what would you do? Think a little.... mmmm. Did you get it yet? Read a little about DIY... You can basically mix anything you can buy... so don't worry about that...

get a balloon, inflate it and wrap mouthpiece around ends of attys, hold balloon under arm and deflate it letting the air come out thru the other end of atty, repeat on other end of atty. VOILA! Clean n dry in abt 1 minute! :D

That's smart... Usually I just about die blowing out my attys

Vape the crap out of it at 6v. Usually does the trick.
