HOOKER Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I just bought a used Aspire Nautilus Mini off of CraigsList... The previous owner had bought this for his girlfriend but she didnt like it & she was a cinnamon addict.. I pulled the BVC & soaked the tank in alcohol for nearly an hour,, installed new BVC & reassembled... I still gotta hint of cinnamon taste... ANY IDEAS????

Tam Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Did you pull the tank completely apart before cleaning? Did you also use something like a Q-tip or a tiny bottle washer to get the residue from all parts? If you did that, then I'd suggest replacing the O-rings -- they could also retain some of the flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Take it apart in as many pieces as possible and soak all the pieces it in Vodka for a couple days. One hour in not long enough to draw the cinnamon out of the plastic parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthling789 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I had a Kanger tank with cinnamon fireball in it for months... I washed it first with regular dish soap, rinsed, rinsed, rinsed, then let it soak in freshly boiled water until the water was cool... then put it in Vodka to soak overnight... dumped the (slightly pink) Vodka for fresh, and let that soak until the next morning (vodka was clear). After it dried, it was like a brand-new tank. On a side-note... that coil should probably be tossed... I've soaked several coils to try to prolong their life, or to remove an old flavor... it's never 100% removal unless you can change out the wick (and dry-burn the coil while the wick is absent)... and I would not suggest that on the BVC's... it's more trouble than it's worth... Just use a fresh coil Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Vodka does amazing things with coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydre Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 ANY o-rings NEED to be replaced. Not possibly, NEED TO. My SO had Inferno sitting in a KPT forever before he gave the tank to me. Several washings/scrubbings, soaks in vodka, boiling, and all that was left was to replace every single o-ring - anything of absorbent plastic - the smell won't come out - even the o-ring on the drip tip.

Elberto34 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 1. Disassemble Your E-Cigarette Unscrew the atomizer from your e-cigarette. If you have a drip tip assembly, remove it from the battery. Remove the atomizer cone or drip protector as well, if applicable. 2. Wipe Down the Atomizer, Drip Tip and Atomizer Cone Fold your paper towel into a square so that it absorbs more. Press it against the battery terminal end of your atomizer and your drip tip, then blow very gently through the drip tip to force any old e-liquid into the paper towel. If your e-cigarette has an atomizer cone or drip protector, fold the paper towel into a tight triangle and force it through to soak up any stray e-liquid. 3. Clean the Battery Terminal Re-fold the paper towel to expose a dry section. You need to push it inside of your e-cigarette to clean the inside of the battery terminal. If you find that it’s too hard to clean the terminal contacts like this, you can use a cotton swab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
