If you vape it down towards the bottom you'll find that you can get it to where there's only a few drops left. Either toss it or pour it back into your eliquid bottle. Some people may be worried about pouring used juice back into a bottle of new juice but I've never noticed any strange occurances from doing this. Don't vape it until nothing is there though!

Then be sure to rinse it out as good as possible with hot water (some people even use cheap vodka) but hot water works just fine. Let the heads dry and reuse if still good. The wicks dry fairly fast if you take a hair drier to them. Then you're good to go!

I agree with all of the above...... But I would stick a new or pre cleaned and dried head in there so ther would be no chance of your old flavor coming through.

When I did use Protanks, I kept three heads in rotatioin cleaning one everyday at the end of the day. I kept a shot glass on the kitchen counter with Vodka in it. Id throw it in there and about an hour or so later, I would get a mouthfull of water and "spray it through" the head and lay it down for its 24 hour dry out.

You dont have to do this, and many of you may not WANT to do it this way. It just worked for me. Good luck in the "change out".

Not so picky here.
Unless its a real strong flavor (like cinnamon), a few drops of this mixed with that will not color the flavor in my experience.

+1. I vape mostly tobacco flavors and often enjoy a "custom" blend by refilling with another flavor. Halo Tribeca and HHV Heavenly Tobacco is one of my favorite blends, which happened simply due to me not cleaning my tank or rinsing the bottom ml.

I have mainly been just mixing another flavor with what ever was left in there since I have been vaping coconut, peach and rose and they all mix well, but I ordered some various juices from alice in vapeland so I want to be able to try each one in quick succession without it being corrupted by whatever was in there before, so I thought that some cartridges like this might might be nice for that so I went to my local vape shop and got something similar to this 3.0 ohm 510 Atomizer - MVari/Lambo
He said it would screw into my mini protank base, well it screws in but it doesn't vape, I think I need an adapter like this to make it work
510 to [eGo] Adapter
Gah! The people who staff the shops here are frustrating!

Most of my vaping devices have either 510 only or combo 510 / Ego thrading thus 510 caro will thread direcly into them.

I use a rebuildable dripping atomizer for testing new flavors and for the ones which I only vape from time to time. I have Evods, T3S and carto tanks for all of the flavors I vape weekly . I also have a few pyrex tank devices for the Tank Cracker juices. May add a few Pro TAnk 2 when the removale driptip model becomes common in stock as I just do not like meatl drip tips.
