I have a growing pile of carts that I either smoked up or don't like, waiting for wash and refill. In the beginning i was just tossing them in a jar with no condoms... now i recover them. If I wash well will the uncovered ones be too dried out to save, or does it make no difference?

They should save just fine if you clean them with hot or boiling water.

I thankfully watched this video before ever trying to refill a carto. I'm sure it has saved me A LOT of money!!! I would have been pulling the white plastic things off with a piece of metal forever and I'm sure they would all be dead by now. You also do an excellent job of showing close ups and explaining things thoroughly. Thanks for the video!!!!

I have been making sure to open the carts, even brand new ones, to make sure the hole is lined up and still find every cart is different in production. I have made the discovery that if you fill the cart w/o any end caps and just tilt it the liquid absorbs better for immediate use. I have also noticed that every fill on a cart decreases how long it lasts. Has anyone else experienced this one?
Is anyone else out there dealing with the consistency problem?
I have also tried different methods as far as starting the week with 7 and try to make them last all week by either filling the same one over and over again until it dies or waiting until the end of the day and refill the ones I used. It seems that no matter which way I go, I still use about 15ml (3 5 ml botttles) a week.
Does anyone have some suggestions on methods that work for them?
I can honestly say that it seems like no matter what I do, the cost will at least be double that any of my 3-piece e-cigs. I'm not complaining about that because it is still 50% less than my previous analong addiction. I would just like to get as close to the same flavor as the new ones. By the way I vape 3 carts a day (new ones) worth. If they are refilled carts about 5-6.
I have the same problem. I'm still completely converted but I do wish there was an easier or more foolproof refilling method.

how many times can a carto be refilled
that really puts things into perspective. Refilling sounded like an operation before, now it looks pretty easy. I will try it as soon as I drain some of my cartos.
