Why the old Flavour What sticks: A look inside the coil
To solve the problem, we first need to understand the cause. The heart of your pod system is the coil, a small heating element surrounded by a wicking material, usually cotton. This cotton absorbs the e-liquid from the tank and holds it ready to be vaporized when heated. This is precisely where the root of the problem lies.
While the porous structure of cotton is excellent at storing e-liquid, it doesn't always release the flavor molecules completely. Intense or complex flavors, in particular—such as tobacco, coffee, or creamy desserts—tend to cling stubbornly to the cotton. Even when the tank is empty, these residual flavors remain in the coil and mix with the newly added e-liquid.

This method is ideal for users who like to eat within the fruit family-Liquids experiment and avoid drastic measures
Step-by-step instructions for cleaning your pod:
- Remove pod: Carefully remove the pod from your base unit, such as the
ELFA Base unit Navy Blue. - Dispose of any remaining liquid: Empty the remaining e-liquid from the pod. Be sure to do this in an environmentally friendly way. According to the Battery Act (BattG) E-liquids and related components must not be disposed of in household waste, but belong to hazardous waste or special collection points.
- Rinse the pod: Rinse the pod (only the plastic tank, not the permanently installed coil!) thoroughly with warm water.Swirl it around a few times to loosen any residue.
- Dry thoroughly: This is the most critical step. Allow the pod to air dry completely. Any residual moisture in the tank can affect the composition and Viscosity of nicotine salt and other liquids, which can lead to spitting or poor vapor production. A few hours of waiting is well worth it.
- Refill: Once the pod is completely dry, you can fill it with your new fruit e-liquid and continue vaping as usual.
This quick method is a good compromise between effort and result for everyday use.

Step-by-step instructions for changing the coil:

This process saturates the cotton before first use and ensures it doesn't dry out and burn.- Common mistake: A common mistake is not priming a new coil. This almost always results in an immediate, unpleasant burnt taste.

- Insert and fill the pod: Insert the new pod into your device and fill it with your desired e-liquid.
- Waiting and “primer puffs”: Let the filled pod stand for another 5-10 minutes. Then take a few short
puffs on the mouthpiece without pressing the fire button (if your device has one) or to activate the device. These "primer puffs" create a vacuum that finally draws the liquid into the cotton.
After these steps, your device is ready for a flawless experience.
Expert tip: The correct order when Flavour change
From experience, I can say that not all flavors are equally persistent. A rule of thumb has emerged for the order of flavors to minimize ghosting:
- Light flavors first: Start with light, clear profiles such as citrus fruits, berries, or other light fruits.
- Complex aromas later: Only then should you switch to more intense, complex flavors such as creamy desserts, vanilla, coffee, or tobacco.
The reason is simple: the sweet and rich notes of dessert e-liquids adhere much more strongly to the cotton. Switching from a light lemon e-liquid to a strawberry cream e-liquid often only requires a quick cleaning.The reverse process – from strawberry cream back to lemon – almost always requires a coil change to achieve the creamy texture.
| tenacity | Recommended action when switching | |
|---|---|---|
| Light fruits (lemon, berry) | Small amount | Pod cleaning is often sufficient |
| Strong fruits (melon, mango) | Medium | Pod cleaning and coil replacement recommended. |
| Menthol/Mint | High | Coil replacement is almost always necessary |
| Dessert/Cream/Vanilla | Very high | Coil replacement is essential |
| Coffee/Tobacco | Very high | Coil replacement is essential |
