I would assume the tank would either need to be either changed or cleaned, prior to switching up juice flavors. As of now, I only have one cartomizer/ tank on-hand, and am expecting my new juice to arrive any day now.

Great info, thanks! Another concern would be the coil, I have the evod coils with the stubby wick. are those safe to submerge in vinegar as you say as well?
elfy Super Member ECF Veteran
I use cotton wicks (sterile cotton from CVS, lifetime supply for $3) so to remove that, wash the coil I wrapped, dry burn it, rinse, dry it....takes a short time, meanwhile ive cleaned out my tank and its ready for new juice. Sticking a new wick in is not a big deal, then just wet it down with juice its its ready.

It's up to you. Some flavors might get a little mixed up if you don't clean the tank. Cartos will retain much more flavor and liquid than tanks.
