[Wintersoldier]

Hi Misty. Welcome to ecf .

The only. time I use dish soap on an atomizer is when I first receive it to get rid of any machine oil that could be left after manufacturing. Dawn works best for me.

Any time after, I just use hot tap water. I suggest tearing it apart and rinsing it again. Might not hurt to use a toothbrush and some baking soda. But, really rinse the parts well; o-rings and everything.

Then what I'd do is get a q-tip and coat the o-rings with some of that new juice so they don't dry out.

The only dish soap I ever use to clean tanks is dollar store dish soap. It sucks for dishes but it's great for tanks. The good stuff, like Dawn, is to hard to rinse out thoroughly. If I use the good stuff, I can rinse for days ans still taste the soap. Dollar store dish soap rises out very well.

Soak in 50/50 water/white vinegar for a day then thoroughly rinse. That should take care of it. That or Vodka or even running alcohol maybe.

Hi and welcome,
Washing the tank is fine: DO NOT WASH YOUR COIL!
Remove coil before washing.
IMO, If you have washed your coil, replace it with a fresh unit.

Please post your location

Cheers

Really? Crud, Izan.

Misty, don't use soap on your coil or wick.

A bare coil, sure, but I presume we (OP) are talking about drop in coils.

Thanks for catching my generalization.

Yeah, no. If her juice tastes like soap, who knows?

Assuming you use disposable coils and not a rebuildables atomzier....

I have heard of people cleaning coils to reuse them but they either leave them in warm water or they leave them into vodka but the procedure takes couple of days until they are cleaned and then totally dry....I never done it tho and I think u propably get like few days more or using the coil....

When I switch to another juice I dont clean or change my coil I just vape until the old juice flavour is gone and new juice start to taste....sometimes the transition is horrible tho lol..

That brings me back to the cartomizer days of old. We used to boil them in tap water, yes, tap water. I was ingenious enough to be able to wedge them into the grate of a box fan. By morning, they's be ready to use again (for maybe another half a tankful ).

It was very unpleasant the juice I brought from a smoke shop was four months past the date on the bottle in went today in brought some juice from a vape shop but kept have the taste of the old one I guess never google something on how to get an old vape juice out of the tank happily I found this site to now ask questions like this

If you are saying that you cleaned a factory coil head with soap and water, never do that again. The cotton wick in the coil head will never be able to be totally rid of the soap. You can rinse it for 5 years and you will always have some chemicals from the soap in there. Throw it away and put in a new one.

I thought you meant you just cleaned the tank. Cleaning coil heads, especially with soap (even crappy dollar store soap), isn't ever going to work.

Misty, don't use soap on your coil or wick.

I learned not to google how to get old ejuice out of your coil I will replace my coil tomorrow I’m happy i found this site I will come here for questions instead of google

Store bought drop in coils are disposables, when one goes bad or taste off toss and replace. Some will say you can soak or rinse them for longer use but in my experience, no, toss and replace. Best to stock up on your coils too so you always have some in reserve, plus there is always a chance you will get a few bad ones in a batch. As many have said dish soap is very difficult to rinse out of tanks plus the smell seems to linger which translates into taste when you vape and you really don't want to be inhaling lingering soap residue. Remember anything you put in to your tank or coils is something you will be inhaling into your lungs when you vape from them.

Welcome to e.c.f Bucky
This is the best place to ask....people here know vaping very good

Btw usually a juice even if it is expired doesn't mean u can't vape it or that is bad....ofc it's better to give it back to the shop that sold it but I want to say that even a fresh juice if it's exposed to high temperatures or it's left without the cap and is exposed into the air then the nicotine goes bad...
The juices become darker and many people agree it has a peppery and bad taste...

Just saying in case u didn't knew

The sell by dates on juice, I have no idea what they’re based on, but they seem a waste of time to me- I bet they only use them to sell off the older stock first. I make my own, and they may get weak or the flavor isn’t as good, but they don’t really spoil. Oxidation makes nic peppery and that can be unpleasant, but a lot of vape shop juice is just nasty from day one.

I bought an expired chocolate cherry from the bargain bin not too long ago. Totally wrecked my atomizer.
