Complimentary Flavours
This is something we all know about, but as new vapers it might be something we didn't think would affect the taste of our e-cigarette. What I'm talking about here is the same thing as brushing your teeth before having a cup of tea, or on the other side of the coin, having a glass of red wine with your steak.

Hi, welcome to ECF. Are you a guy? Do you have a moustache? Do you exhale through your nose? There could be a *remote* possibility that if you began exhaling through your nose, you could be leaving some smell on your moustache. If you had one. If you are a guy.

First off welcome to the forum. I am thinking it maybe your juice. I have never had this happened with my eGo-T!

aunshui I can understand the safety thing. Have you thrown you're used tanks out and gotten new ones to use? I throw mine away about every 5 to 6 fill ups. But then again I am switching over to boge cartos as I've found they have more flavor and vapor then the tanks do.

Ok, I've had something similar to your experience happen to me. I use cartos and tanks, and I reuse the cartos and tanks but only refill them with the same juice that's already been in them.
