Do you use Cartomizer ? Do you clean it? DONT! Read this topic!

There's no point in trying to clean a filler based carto unless you do it thoroughly. Thick gunk at the bottom is a byproduct of atomizing liquids that aren't totally clear, and must be removed. I always start with an alcohol (vodka for me) soak to dissolve remaining juice and gunk. Until alcohol comes out clear when I blow through the open end, it's not cleaned. I use very hot water to rinse, spin/thermometer shake or blow and set them battery-end down on light bulbs for 15min to completely dry. Except for damage to the center tube/hole, most have withstood multiple cleanings without a problem, white and fluffy.

The key is letting alcohol dissolve the gunk. I don't think water can do this as effectively and boiling can shrink some fillers.

I think cleaning isn't for everybody; those who use thick dark juices will have to clean more often with limited success, and those without patience to thoroughly do it shouldn't waste their time. Those who like to tinker, and I guess I'm one, get satisfaction from reviving them in a few minutes.

I wish I had boges last that long. I get at best two days out of them. Sometimes even less. I think only clear juices should be used in them. Some yellowish and darker seem to ruin them quickly. Some juices seem to caramelize for lack of a better word in them.

That's strange. I get at least 4 days out of a carto, and usually more like 6-7 days, and I'm using Boba's Bounty and Gorilla juice (100% VG, dark juices).

I just trow away a dual coil yesterday, flavor became week adding juice directly in the carto and filling the tank. I only used 100% VG juice (Raf-a-licious from AVE) on that one.

I am using the Dual Coil 2.5ohm now, 100% PG DIY juice. This one is a lot thinner than the VG one.

Lets see how much time does it lasts.

Could be a bad batch. Current one I am using is a day old with clear juice this time and thus far doesn't show any of the problems that occurred from the previous three. I think the flavor I used (pistachio from vaporrenu) was what was causing problems.
