Try cleaning it and dry burning the coil between flavors. There are plenty of videos showing how. I do this every few tanks on all my equipment even if still vaping the same flavor, to extend their life. Some juices I can wait longer between cleanings, some are real coil gunkers and require frequent cleaning. Happy vaping! :vapor:

I have a genesis, nemesis, something with a esis on its way here but I mean being able to change flavors just without a new coil. I dont load up or change often I buy a (one) bottle at a time as needed. It took me 8 months to be willing.to spend the money on a mod (worth it) and unless I choke on it or.hate it I use my.bottle.up before switching (usually) I just hate switching coils each flavor switch. I was forced to drop cinnamon for a while.

So I have a pt3, I love it. I typically smoke fireball, recently been vapeing jungle juice, which opened me up a bit. I cant afford to.have 20 tanks, a supply of coils, and 50 flavors laying about so how do I switch flavors, without a new coil everytime?

If you don't want to build your own coils, FT has prebuilt coils. A 50 pack was about $2.

Other places have them as well. Mine are on the way.

Read up on rebuilding your Attys!

I saved a bunch of money on my Atomizers by switching to Kanthal! Lol

Rebuilt my Aerotank so If i feel like changing my juice on a whim just take it apart with whatever little juice I have left, pull the cotton out and burn excess off the coil, Swap new cotton with flavor wick then fill and vape! BOOM

Having a few tanks at first that you can rebuild help so you can have a few new flavors at your disposal anytime you feel like swapping.

When you finish one flavor, just rinse out the tank and wicks, shake out any water, and fill with a new juice. The first couple of hits will be mostly water, but it will pick up from there.

The exception, however, is if you're going from a really strong flavor (like fireball!) to something more subtle. You can try cleaning the wick/coil as well as you can, but you still might get a lingering taste of the old flavor; in that case you really need to swap in a new coil.

Do what I did until I got more tanks. I would remove the coil and put it in baggie that I wrote the flavor of the juice on. Washed the tank and put a new coil for the new flavor. This is good if you are rotating the same juices. I have washed and dried tanks and coils and just went with the new juice. One of these days I might start rebuilding. I have a bottle full of used coils.

That's a good straightforward plan if you rotate among a few juices and it only takes a minute. If you want to sample a variety, dripping is the way to go. A simple 510 atomizer will be an easy inexpensive way to do that for a few dollars, and with regular cleaning can last for a long time.

Depending on the juice I've been vaping, I just vape some plain PG through the coil to clean it before a new flavor. You'll know by the taste when its clean enough and the new juice will be muted for a few puffs but fine after that. Oh, if the tank is completely empty I do rinse it out first before putting a bit of PG in it.

I currently use a pt3 as primary, typically im only switching between fireball and cinnamint so I dint even clean just refill.unless the juice is dark. But im trying.to branch out a bit. I pretty much will be using.maybe 5 flavors max. Im going.to sign up for some.samples
