Severely Reduced Performance after boiling out cartos?

[Gravity]

So, I had a bunch of used/semi used cartos that we cleaned out via the boil for fifteen minutes twice method, dry overnight (we waited two days for drying).

I just got some new juices today, and filled up a couple of these boiled cartos, and the vapor production is really weak, and they're really hard to draw from. What's going on here?

I let my dry for aleast 7 days.

you dont need to boil attys to clean them. Just use hot water, You might have ruined some and then again, they might wotk again. make sure they are primed real well and try again tomorrow.....

We also dried them in a tupperware with filled with dry rice to help dry them out, as I read here as a suggestion. They're totally dry.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I have a paper towel in my tupperware that help dry them alittle faster.

Yeah I've been hearing people having issues with boiling a lot lately. I wouldn't really recommend it. Just my opinion though, too much room for error, and cartos weren't meant to be boiled hahaha.

I just top off my cartos with the same flavor, or a flavor that will compliment it, get as much use as I can with it, then throw it in a jar for a rainy day or if a ban ever happens.

First check to see if the air hole in the middle is open . You should be able to look thru the center of the cart and see light thru it.If you can't use a paper clip or some like it to open up and center the air hole. That should fix your problem. You did not say how you rinsed them out after you boiled them. If you you did not rinse them and blow them out then they have a bunch of dried out juice in them and need to be recleaned and blown out. I clean and refill all the time and once ans awhile a cart wiil just kind of die on you. After all they were designed to be disposable.
If you are stiil having problems or questions just PM me and I will see what I can do to help. Hope this helps!!!

I do the double boil method boil 15 minute rinse then boil again rinse with more hot water throught a turkey baster . then tilt them in the bowl so they can get air to them better. I always have some ready and some I just clean and some that will be ready when I run out of the ones I have been using.

Ok, I just boil some and now where do you put the rice. to get them to dry faster.

I do think in my next order I will get the pre-filled one and top them off then once there done throw them away the biling method is not what I like to do getting to messy and to time wasting. So will do that for now on.Son don't told me I would have to do his sooo going to do this seems alot better.
