Usage of a 510 dripping atty - flavor change questions

[Taylor7617]

OK, wife and I got a few atty's for testing DIY and new online purchases.

I suspect on new atty's, one should either clean or hit the power button....first drip/vape was NASTY and was harsh like it has some sealant on it. Next was better.....and so on. Then, wanted to change and we were told from the B&M owner at purchase to just change flavors and keep going - didn't work. So...questions:

1) Is there a cleaning process after purchase?
2) Is an initial "dry burn" or other process recommended?
3) Is there a recommended process to clean before switching flavors?

#3 note: went from a DIY Cinnamon Pear to an online purchase (Choc covered cherry or something like this). Well, I could still taste the DIY liquid.

Any helpful tips or hints to make this a better experience?

#4) Assume when I get that first dry or burnt taste...it needs more drops, right?


Thanks all for the help!!!

You can use hot water, alcohol , even baking soda and vinegar. I use rubbing alcohol. I bought a 1ft clear hose from Home Depot the atty fits snugly in the hose. I fill the hose with alcohol and blow it threw the atty.

Yea its just drip vape a few drags and repeat. when you flood it you put to much after a little time you find how much to put and how often to avoid dry hits and flooding.

When you get the hang of it you will be able to tell when you can just change flavors, and when you can't. Some flavors linger, and the only way to get them out of an atty is to clean it. (menthol is a good example) Other flavors don't linger, and you can change flavors with no problem.

So, if the flavor is strong....assume really no way to get it out to move to another flavor outside of a hot water rinse or vodka soak then let dry????

You could vape unflavored nic through it a few times. That should take the flavor out of it and you won't have to clean it after each flavor. With the unflavored nic you are essentially vaping the flavor out of the atty..
