What's the proper way to clean wick/coil ?

[artbyshan]

Anyone know how to clean a genesis style tank (Wick/coil) ? Like if I use a strong flavored juice, what is the proper way to clean the wick/coil so I can prevent leaching ? I've been wanting to try Kretek in my DUD, but scared other juices want taste the same afterwards.

You don't they are rebuild-able. It costs pennies to rebuild therefore when performance drops, rebuild

I use a syringe and shoot water into the tank a few times. Then heat the coil till the wick is dry. That is usually enough to clear any horrid mistake I made.

Syringes are wonderful tools for cleaning.

artbyshan, if you are using the cotton of mesh method you don't want to dry-burn to clean it as it will burn the cotton. When I'm using the cotton method I flush the tank and wick with water or alcohol a bunch of times and shake it out. Then I take a paper towel with water or alcohol on it and justly wipe/brush the coil to get the chunky bits off. I will then blow the cotton and coil with one of those cans of compressed air VERY VERY lightly until the cotton is dry (or just let it and dry out if you don't mind waiting). After that I'm good to go on a new juice.

Depending on the device you may be able to pop the tank off and really go to town on the cleaning.

A rinse under water will be enough for the wick and coil, genesis atties are amazing for switching flavours.

Agree.

Honestly, most of the time I don't really clean too much. I just syringe out the old juice and dump in the new, Few puffs later and no taste of the old.......
