This will be of importance to you if you’ve tried a flavour you thought was nice, but the reality was far from that, and now the persistent little flavour won’t take the hint and leave!

Several methods of cleaning are commonly used – blowing through the atomizers, dripping pure VG through it, soaking them in very hot (boiled) water, or soaking them in cola, (we all know how cola can clean a coin, so it can work with your atomizer too.)

 

But what if you have tried all that and you can still taste it?

 

Our very own TonyF once tried some menthol, and then tried to get rid of the taste with roast chicken e-liquid. I know- go figure eh? Probably one too many of the red wine and he ended up with smooth menthol chicken flavour.

One word for that – Gross. He should have tried this method as suggested by someone on the TW forum.

Disclaimer – you are responsible for your vaping, this is a suggestion only, and please do your own research!

Isopropanol is a solvent that can get rid of unwanted strong flavours in your atomizer, and it dissolves any oily residues that have built up.

To get rid of the offending e-liquid, first soak the atomizer in very hot water, and while the atomizer is still hot, (you will need tongs/pliers to hold the atty with) drip a few drops of the isopropanol from the battery end through the atomizer.

Leave the atty overnight – as you want any remaining isopropanol to evaporate

 

The link below is a chemical data sheet of Isopropanol – you will see that it is a common solvent – but again- do your own research on this one!
