Liquid traces in My Reo.

[Petrus]

Good Day Guys/Girls. After my recent Reo purchase, I decided to dedicate each Reo to a specific e-liquid. My setup is as follows, the two Mini's for my NET Tobacco's, thanks @Andre for the perfect choice, and my Grand for the Menthol's.....XXX and tropical ICE, Thanks @Rob Fisher AKA "Oom Rob".
The P67......will be for desserts in the nearby future.
Now for my actual question: My one Mini, after giving it a thorough bath and replacing my bottle and tube, still got some traces of Menthol in. Will it disappear after some Tobacco's running through it, or how can I fix it for a quick? Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks in advance

Good question... and with menthol juices they hang around and are hard to clear... not impossible but hard... coffee is even worse... I once had a brand new REO Grand (copper colour) and I took it with me to the CT meet and I tested some really kak juices... cleaned it when I got home but never ever managed to feel comfortable with it... I sold it... but yes you can get rid of all flavours after a really good clean and sunlight dish washing liquid needs to be involved...

When I need to get rid of a flavour in one of my REO's I drown it in Sunlight and massage it for a while and then rinse it in a big way... then I pop it into my Ultrasonic cleaner....

Here's a thread on clearing the ghost Flavour from your reo http://www.ecigssa.co.za/ghost-flavour-from-juice.t12882/

I usually just throw it into a mason jar half filled with vodka and the other half with water, SHAKE the devil out of that jar and then pop it into the ultrasonic afterwards

I find Vodka helps, and you can also use it to clean your tanks, remove odours.

Sunlight in the bottle and tube ?

I keep thinking it's going to stick and never fully rinse the soap out, lol

Just a word of warning on using denture tablets... Don't do it! Been there and got that t-shirt!

Yebo... sunlight gets rid of the smell and itself disappears with major rinsing...

What about a lemon juice solution ? Could that perhaps kill the smell

I guess that could also work...

Sunlight is my friend... I have a bottle ready at my vape cave basin 24/7!

I agree with @Rob Fisher menthol flavour tends to linger a lot longer than other flavours. I bought a second hand REO and some atty`s that were used with menthol. After a good few soaks and washes with sunlight liquid and warm water and a bottle and tube change the menthol flavour faded away. I disassembled the REO completely. If menthol was used in the atty as well then I would recommend you strip the atty to all it`s components including taking out the screws and o-rings before you wash. I would also do same with the drip tip.

Lol, at this very moment my Metador tastes like Dunhill Menthol.

@Rob Fisher, I am planning on giving my OL16 some tropical ice in the future, damn, I love that juice.

Yip I owe everything to that juice... I always have two REO's rocking Topical Ice 24/7/365!

Avril has had Tropical Ice in her since she was born!

I used Bicarbonate of soda to get rid of some sticky flavours in my Reo. Cheap and easy to do. Put some hot water in a cup, add Reo, add Bicarb... let it sit

Does the bicarbonate not create a light patina on the aluminum? I tried some bicarbonate in the ultrasonic and everything has the feint patina finish

On my Reo tubes and bottles I use normal white vinegar. Soak overnight, then soak overnight in clean water again. Really helps.

Hydrogen peroxide is probably the best cleaner for the tubes and bottles. Guaranteed cleaner than clean. just soak for a few hours and rinse well with water.
