switching e-liquids

[Jae Lee]

i had two t3's and my first tank was filled with strawberry from mvs which was excellent.
my second one was filled with peach, didn't really like it too much.

unfortunately, my first tank with strawberry got burnt and i decided to swap out the atomizer with the one from the peach.
it tasted awful, the combination of strawberry and peach just didn't work and made my head ring.

since i ordered some new liquids from mtbaker: yellow cake, cinnamon roll, and banana cream.
i couldn't wait to try so i immediately emptied out the strawberry tank and rinsed the atomizer in warm water.
then i put in a yellow cake from mtbaker and not surprisingly it tasted horrible. it now had the weird taste of both peach, strawberry and the yellowcake.

now my option is to order new tanks but i know that'll take another 3-4 days to get here. i don't really want to go back to regular cigs until my order arrives, it'll be a real test to see how i can resist without cigs and e-cigs.

my question to you guys, how do you guys clean your tanks when switching liquids?

due to all this mixing, i can't tell if my 2nd is burnt as well.

i did some dry burning, i'm not sure if i did it correctly.

basically i just attached the atomizer to the battery without the tank. then i pressed the button for 5 seconds at a time x 5.
i just hear gurgling noises. am i supposed to take out the metal rod first? what happens if i don't, am i burning the wick?

usually i use a dripper to taste them but in a clearo style i would take the old head out and soak in alcohol like vodka for a bit then rinse in water and just rinse the actual tank in hot water, basically switching heads for different juices.

Yes, more than likely, a lot of people on here say that cleaning with with everclear, is that Vodka? Anyways, they clean them with that and it works very well, I just put mine in hot hot water for a couple of hours and then let them air dry overnight, works a charm.

I don't often use clearomizers or Vivi Nova tanks, but with my cartotanks (pyrex) I just give a good rinsing under the faucet and exchange the old cart for a new one.

I'd recommend before devoting a tank to a flavor that you may not care for, use a dripping atomizer or a Nano clearomizer to sample flavors first. Neither use much juice to sample. An atomizer can be dry burned to remove unused juice, and the Nano emptied and refilled with the next flavor.

Hi - just a heads up on the cinnamon roll and banana cream. They have the potential to damage your tank.

EEEKKK! What happened to my tank?

I've been vaping for just over three weeks, and changing juices frequently and am now using kanger t3 clearos.

If I am just tasting the flavor, I just put about 1/4 tank in and try it. If I don't like it, I return it to the bottle and rinse the tank and the coil out in hot water. Then its off to the workshop to blow everything dry with compressed air. When drying the coils, I am cautious to make sure I get the wicks bone dry and fluffy again. Then I load up a new flavor and wait a few minutes and vape away...no notice of the previous flavor.

Once, after vaping cocoa mint I could get the smell of the mint out of the clearo. I soaked the coil and the clearo in some cheap vodka for a few mins and then rinsed with water and dried as above... that seemed to work pretty well.

Keep up the good work on staying clear of analogs!

I had the same questions. Thanks for the answers.

I rinse the clearo out with it very hot water, just fill a old juice jug with the hot water and rinse till the jug is empty. Use rubbing alcohol on a paper towel to clean the old juice residue out. Carefully dry the wicks with paper towel Dry burn the coil ...burn for about 3 seconds, blow the smoke away and repeat until you see the whole coil get red, if you have a lot of gunk on the coil then use a toothpick and very lightly scrape across the coil. I get the old juice taste for the first couple puffs but it goes away quite quickly.
I have several clearos on the go so I don't have to clean to change flavours, just clean to maintain them once they don't vape like they use to.
