Well I have 3 batteries and they all have diff flavors. I also have extra Clearos, Vivi novas to switch out for more flavors. I keep the Big Vivi nova with one I use all the time, Peppermint. Then I change the flavor on the others when they empty out. Having a few batteries with diff flavors is as easy as putting them in some holder or pocket in a vest etc. not pants pockets. THen you grab one to change out.

I clean them in water but ocasanally I'll just smoke it dry and put a new flavor n it. Havant had any probe doing it hat way, if its menthol lean it or else it will taste minty

you could always fill a box of cartos with different flavors and put the condoms back on the ends, would give you a little flexibility, as those are easy enough to change, another option is the switchback from vaporbeast.com that lets you have two flavors at once and change on the fly.

Dripping and driving can be hazardous, especially at night. Don, you'll probably need to buy more tanks. Another route is to buy a bottom feeder and get some extra bottles that you can put different flavors in. However, I'm betting after a while, you'll find something you like that you can vape all day, every day. Mine is a tobacco flavor from TW. It's my staple; however, when I'm not driving, I'll drip different flavors like coffee banana and coconut.

Tanks are great for driving, so are bottom feeders like a Reo Grande and others. I usually tote around a couple tanks on a long drive. Being an ex analog smoker, I learned about security through redundancy. Meaning I don't leave the house without a backup atty, tank, battery and device. When I'm on the road (I work in sales) I use a little fishing tackle organizer to keep tools, juice, parts etc. I get real grouchy when I don't get my nicotine.

You might even find you don't like mixing flavors with an atty, meaning you'll have an atty for ea flavor. Congrats on giving up tobacco. Keep vaping, it gets better and better every year.

Tanks can be tricky if wanting to change flavors out, my solution ended up being that I used a few tanks with a different flavor in each, I also always keep a device with an atty around for when I'm not busy and ill change flavors freely on that

if you only want one tank however I'd recommend the vivi nova style tank because its the easiest to fill and clean out that I've encountered, but I personally don't like the flavor of a Vivi

I would agree with everybody here. Have one for each flavor. If you're using a cartomizer tank, get several boxes of empty cartos that you can use in any of your tanks. If you're using a clearomizer, have several of those on hand, filled up and ready to go. With the carto tanks, you can get different sizes. I would suggest a 6 ml (or bigger if you can find it), that should last you quite a while. Then you wouldn't have to worry about refilling as often.

Pretty to vaping, but it did not take long to find out that SS wicks in a tank is the way to go for me. I "pipe" style vape so I go thru tons of juice. The flavor and "plume" is my focus. Been off analogs for 22yrs so no nic fix required. Throat hit is not a big deal to me but I can get it other ways I've learned.
Thanks to all the "pros" for the wisdom and experience.

As most have said, just take a couple of extra tanks with different flavours with you. I'd be surprised if eventually you don't find an all day vape.

I would go with 3 or 4 setups with a Mini or Standard size Nova Tank. I may even suggest a lanyard to hang around your neck where you can drop the device without worrying where it is going to go if you needed both hands in an emergency (not like dropping a hot cig)

One of the big things here is to have backups for your backups. I think you need to get some backups, then work on the backups for your backups.

Then you would have several to choose from and can just screw on a new tank as the mood hits.

Multiple tanks is the way to go. I usually have 2 or 3 tanks with different flavors ready to go. Dripping and driving is not an option but swapping a tank isn't that big of deal. Having backups is important anyway.

Yeah, I'm kinda mad as about 10 minutes ago my ego just fell out of my lanyard and landed on the mouthpiece of my Kanger T3 clearo, breaking the plastic tank. I've got another one waiting for me in the mail at home (I thought it was going to be a backup, guess I was wrong), but luckily I had 2 carto tanks in my goody bag to get me through the rest of the day.
