    Default My way of cleaning Cartos/Attys/Tank attys

    Hi, yesterday I went to my local department store to buy a steam cleaner (Vaporetta) to use for cleanig the bathroom/windows ect.. then last night I had the idea to try and clean a cartomiser with it, so I held the carto with a pair of plyers (so i dont get burned) over the nozzel of the steam cleaner for 6-10 seconds (had a towel underneath to catch all the crap) Result... A good as new carto, let it dry for 10 mins then filled with Juice and it worked really well, I even tried cleaning a cart that was over 6 months old and the filler was dark brown, came up good as new too!! so I spent the next 2 hours cleaning all my old cartos!!! and the best thing is the steamcleaner only cost 17 Euros ($25) I also cleaned my Itaste tank atty, egoT and a 510 dripping atty,all with excellent results. here is a Video I made.

    I cannot figure out why some vendor in the biz hasn't contracted with a chinese manufacturer to assemble a steam cleaning tool made for vaping.

    It would probably fly out the door.

    People use jewelry cleaners for their attys, and now a Vaporetta, which is a coool thing, thanks for posting about it.

    Just seems like there could be something people could just buy at their vendors, sort of like a good saddle punch,, which only a few vendors have.

    So, the steam cleaner doesn't leave the cartomizer wet on the inside? because when I boil my cartos they are unuseable for weeks until the water fully evaporates from the fill material... Sometimes they never come back from boiling and I think its the leftover water. I can never really be bothered to take the time to bake them or whatver to fully get the water inside evaporated after boiling, so I throw them back into the dead carto box and move on. Does this thing somehow suck the water back out once the steam goes in? Or what? Idgi!

    That looks like a super method! I have never used one of these. I wonder if it will still blow just dry air if it has no water
    in it to help speed drying? Or will it only blow with water in it?
    Thanks for the tip!
