So I got a pack of these cartos and a pack of CE2s. The CE2s dont have much primer and taste pretty good out of the gate, but the LR cartos that I got from CoV have so much primer in them that I cant get the flavor out at all and its super harsh and makes my mouth feel really weird (like when you eat an unripe fruit and it makes your mouth scratchy). How do I clean this?

I thik they might just be defective or something. None of them work... :( man what a disappointing day. First all my viking vapor juice tastes exactly the same (and like crap) and the whole pack of cartos i got (says SGS in a green box) either dont work at all or taste completely like primer and I cant get the flavor out at all.

using a Hello 016. These are the green SGS cartos LR variatey. They are filled with primer AND die IMMEDIATELY when dry burning. I cant figure it out. Ive had 1 of these cartos filled for 2 weeks now and it still tastes like garbage. I dont really use it thoo since it it coats my mouth with a nasty film and tastes like a computer's .... discharge

Well, I don't take anything for granted and assume there is primer in everything, and tasting like you described. Before any of my precious juice goes into a carto or atty, all that can be boiled, are tossed into a gently rolling boil, filtered water for 5-10 minutes. Slung out, cartos dried using a baby syrup syringe, and then placed at my notebook hot air exhaust for a few hours. Attys slung and very careful dry burning if needed. With my thick juices, most that have to be cut with a little distilled water or PGA, they gunk up pretty fast especially the LRs.

I learned my lesson on dry burning cartos early on when I ruined a whole box of 801s dry burning after boiling them. I took one apart and sure nuff the wicking material that goes through the vertical burner had melted and fused with the stuffing, with a big burn spot in the stuffing.

The only way I know of doing a good cleaning on a carto, after use, is PGA soaking. When they start retaining a bit of burning taste I just chuck them.

E2's are a much better choice now that they've gotten most of the kinks out.
